Conception happen several hours after
ovulation. Ovulation happens 14 days
before the next menstrual cycle starts ...
which means that in a 28 day-long cycle,
ovulation occurs in the middle of the
cycle. Two days before and 2 days after
ovulation are considered the "fertile
days" of the cycle-when conception is very
likely. The 11th day of the menstrual
cycle can be considered a fertile day if
the cycle lasts 22-26 days.
