We just started trying this month and im trying to understand my cycle better. A bit lost on which days actually give the best chance. Would really appreciate if someone could share how they tracked it.
Your fertile window is the few days around ovulation, usually mid cycle. If you have a 28 day cycle that's roughly day 12 to 16. Tracking with an app or ovulation kits helped me both times, dont stress over the exact day.
Just adding gently, if your cycles are irregular like mine due to PCOS, the standard mid cycle rule may not fit. Tracking is harder for us so I'd suggest seeing a gynac who can monitor ovulation properly. Dont be discouraged, it just takes a bit more guidance.
We just started trying and I had no idea about all this. This is really helpful, I think I'll get an ovulation kit. Thank you for explaining so simply.
I used an ovulation tracking app plus the pee strips and it made things so much clearer. The most fertile days are the 2 to 3 days before ovulation and the day of. Once I understood my window it happened pretty fast honestly.
