Getting the timing right

Your Fertility explains the fertile window: the few days each cycle when sex can lead to pregnancy, and simple ways to work out when those days are likely to be.

Finding the days in your cycle when conception is possible.

Where to find support

  • Your doctor, for medical advice, referrals and emotional support.
  • Your fertility clinic, for questions about your treatment or results.
  • Your nearest hospital or maternity unit, if you are pregnant and worried.
  • Your local emergency number, if symptoms are severe or worsening.

Key takeaways

  • Pregnancy is only possible on a small number of days each cycle.
  • The fertile window includes the days before ovulation, not only the day itself.
  • Regular sex across the fertile window is the simplest approach for most couples.
