Your Chances of Getting Pregnant on Ovulation Day

Early in life, before my reality became tainted by infertility, I had a half-baked impression about how easy it is for women to get pregnant.

I’ve now come to understand that it’s not quite as simple and easy as our sex ed instructors would have us believe.

In fact, a healthy woman in her 20s or early 30s only has approximately a 20-25% chance of pregnancy each month without using protection.

Approximately once a month, a woman’s ovaries will release a mature egg. This is called ovulation.

What is Ovulation?

Yes! Not only can you get pregnant on ovulation day; it’s one of the most fertile days in a woman’s reproductive cycle.

Can You Get Pregnant On Your Ovulation Day?

What Are the Chances of Getting Pregnant the Day Before Ovulation?

There’s approximately a 28% chance of conceiving two days before ovulation and a 24% chance of conceiving one day before.

How Many Days After Ovulation Can You Get Pregnant?

While most women ovulate somewhere between days 11 and 21 of their cycle, there’s no guarantee.

The answer is yes, it IS possible to get pregnant during your period – but it’s not very likely.
