Does pregnancy occur only during ovulation?

Question

Bit confused about all this honestly. We are trying and someone told me u can only conceive on ovulation days. Is that fully true ya can it happen other days bhi?

To be practical, don't stress over pinpointing the exact day. Just use a cycle tracker app to find your approximate fertile week, it's much easier.

Yes, it only happens during ovulation when the egg is ready! Track those days, but don't forget to treat yourself to some delicious cravings to keep stress away.

I'm currently trying to conceive and tracking my ovulation with strips. It's so fascinating how small that fertile window actually is!

Yes, pregnancy can only happen when there is an egg released during ovulation. However, sperm can live inside for up to 5 days, so your fertile window is actually wider.

I used to track every single hour of ovulation and stress myself out. My doctor said just having regular intercourse every 2 days around mid-cycle is more than enough.

Yes, fertilization only happens around ovulation. Since sperm survives for a few days, having relations before ovulation also works.
