Question by Leila: What is the difference between ovulation days and fertile days?
I know this may sound dumb but what is the difference between your ovulation days and your fertile days. When I plug all my info into a fertility calendar it tells me my fertile days and my ovulation day. Should egg to be released from ovary to get pregnant? if so then how come chances of getting pregnnat a few days before yor ovulation is high as well? If not then how sperm gets into ovary? Im kinda confused.

see below – “Ovulation” and “Fertile Days”
Give your answer to this question below!
ovulation is when the egg begin its jounrey through the fallopian tube, than fertile is just a term to describe ur best day to get pregnant, the best day for the sperm to easily make it to th egg.
You release an egg on one day (your ovulation day). However, sperm can live inside of you for up to 72 hours. If you have sex a day or two before you ovulate there can still be live sperm to fertilise the egg when it is released. It takes a couple of days for the egg to make it’s way out of your body so you can still get pregnant those few days after your ovulation day. So from the 2-3 days before and after ovulation you can get pregnant.
Hope that makes sense.
