The fertile window is the short span of time in which you’re more likely to get pregnant during your cycle, around 5 to 6 days leading up to and including your day of ovulation (a one-day event in which a mature egg is released from the ovary and ready for fertilization). In an ideal situation, sperm should already be in the right place to fertilize the egg.
