Knowing your own body and being able to tell when you are fertile or ovulating is an important skill that every woman should have.

The fact is that there are only certain times during your menstrual cycle when you are fertile or can get pregnant in. So it pays off to know when those times are.

Your body will give you clear clues and signals as to when fertility is approaching and happening.

A woman is fertile when she is ovulating and for a few days before ovulation when fertile cervical mucus is present.

Ovulation usually occurs mid cycle. More precisely, ovulation usually occurs 14 days before the onset of bleeding.
