Ovulation ALWAYS
occurs 12-16 DAYS BEFORE YOUR PERIOD (Usually 14 days). Based on
the average of 14 days, you MAY be able to predict the day you will ovulate.
Counting backwards to Day 14 gives you your probable ovulation day. Because
the egg lives for 24 hours, sperm need to either be there to meet it or
arrive shortly after ovulation. Sperm can live up to seven days after
intercourse. The Chart may help you find your
Ovulation Day. This is not an absolute prediction of your ovulation
day, but based on the 14 day method of calculating.
REMEMBER: Your body can be unpredictable. |
 |
Abstain from the beginning of your period until the morning of the fourth day after your predicted ovulation day. This is more than half of your menstrual cycle. |
