My ovulation >cycle in the past 6 months usually takes 30-31 days, but one time it >lasted only 26 days. What days am I likely to be most fertile? On average, ovulation occurs 14 days BEFORE you get your next period....so, in a 30 day cycle you're likely ovulating around day 15/16 and in a 26 day cycle around day 12/13. How many >hours/days do I stay fertile? The "fertile window" is the 5 days BEFORE ovulation and the day OF ovulation. The most fertile day is the day of ovualtion, followed by the day before, then 2 days before and so on. I experience pain when I am ovulating and >I had severe pain on Dec. 26 at around 2:00 a.m.. (I thought that my >egg was released at that time.) I had intercourse on Dec. 20 at 3:00 >a.m.. Could I get pregnant from that incident? Less lilkely, since it was 6 days before ovulation, but sperm, like men, are sometimes tricky ;-) How long does sperm stay >alive? We used to think 3 days, but now we think it's more like 5 days. -- Kelly Shanahan, MD, FACOG S. Lake Tahoe, CA note: Opinions here are for educational purposes only.
