How long is the ovulation window?

Question

how long do you ovulate? i know sperm can live for 2-3 days...how long is the egg good for?? my husband and i are TTC and just wanted to know! thanks!!!

Answer 1

Sperm can live inside the woman 3 to 5 days and the ovulation window is 12 to 24 hours....don't think about conceiving, just enjoy each other and have a good time every day several days before and during ovulation. Good Luck  

Answer 2

Your egg, after being released, is only available for 12-24 hours for fertilization. The max is 24 hours, and sometimes the egg lives for as short as 6 hours. Have s*x within the 3 days prior to ovulation, as well as the day of. Good luck in your TTC journey! Lots of baby dust for you!

Answer 3

24 hrs.  So lotsa s*x prior during and maybe after just to be sure and the more sperm you can get to the egg the better.

Have fun with that :-)

I wish you and you hubby well

Good luck
