Sexual HealthOvulation and signs of fertilityOvulation is the process by which a mature egg is released from the ovary to travel down the fallopian tube toward the uterus. That egg is either fertilized by a man’s sperm or passed through the uterus and flushed from your body during your period. To become pregnant, the woman must be ovulating and the man must produce healthy sperm, one of which will penetrate the egg and fertilize it. The sperm will travel through the vagina into the cervix, to your fallopian tubes where it will fertilize the egg. This fertilized egg will then implant in your uterus where it will grow to become a baby.The days just before and the hours immediately prior to ovulation are the most fertile time of the month, and therefore, the best time to have intercourse if you’re trying to get pregnant.
