Hello,
Having intercourse during the ovulation period significantly increases the likelihood of pregnancy. In women with regular menstrual cycles, ovulation typically occurs approximately 14 days before the onset of the next menstrual period. The few days before and after ovulation represent the most fertile window, during which the egg is more likely to be released and fertilized by sperm.
If you are not currently planning to conceive, appropriate contraceptive measures should be taken. To enhance your chances of conception, you may consider using ovulation predictor kits or undergoing follicular monitoring at a hospital. Additionally, maintaining a balanced, nutrient-rich diet and engaging in regular, moderate physical exercise are recommended.
We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you a happy and healthy life!
