when are yo more prone to getting pregnant according to your ovulation?
Thatâs when an egg is usually released from your ovaries and ovulation takes place. The egg travels along the fallopian tubes and lives for about 12 - 24 hours. So, your best chance of getting pregnant is by having sex a day or so after ovulation. Bear in mind, that everyone is different.
Studies show that couples who time sex to coincide with ovulation get pregnant faster. (The best time to have sex is during the two days before ovulation and on the day you ovulate.) In one study, the pregnancy rates of couples who timed intercourse with ovulation were higher than typically seen among couples trying to conceive: 1  38 percent were pregnant after one cycle (up from 30 percent). 2  68 percent were pregnant after three cycles (up from 60 percent). 3  81 percent were pregnant after six cycles (up from 80 percent).
