What really is Ovulation?
Ovulation is essentially the release of eggs from the ovaries. Ovulation occurs when a mature egg is released from the ovary, pushed down the fallopian tube, and is made available to be fertilized. Approximately every month an egg will mature within one of your ovaries, in other words, pregnancy is potentially possible at that time.
Ovulation Timing/When Does Ovulation occur In A cycle?
Generally, ovulation usually occurs halfway through your menstrual cycle, or around day 14 of the average 28-day cycle counting from the first day of one period to the first day of the next.
But as with everything pregnancy-related, there’s a wide range of normal here (cycles can last anywhere from 23 to 35 days), and even your own may vary slightly from month to month.
