When does ovulation usually occur?

Ovulation typically occurs about 14 days *before* your next period starts. If you have a perfect 28-day cycle, this is day 14. If you have a 30-day cycle, it would be around day 16.

How long is the fertile window?

The fertile window is generally about 6 days long. This accounts for the lifespan of sperm (up to 5 days) and the lifespan of the egg (about 12-24 hours).
