Did you know…

🩸A normal or healthy menstrual cycle is clinically defined as a cycle lasting anywhere between 21 and 35 days. A recent study of 98,903 women showed that 95% of women have cycles between 20 and 40 days long.

🩸A menstrual cycle is not just the period of time that you are bleeding; it is the full cycle. Day 1 of your cycle is the day you start bleeding, and the last day of your cycle is the day before your period starts again.

🩸There is only 1 day each cycle when you can get pregnant!! 😮 Once an egg is released – what we know as ovulation – it only lives for 12 to 24 hours. And it’s only during this period that an egg can be fertilized.

🩸Hardy sperm can live for up to 5 days within the female reproductive tract.

🩸There is only 1 day per month when you can conceive, but you are **fertile** for 6 days each month. How? Because of the overlap in the lifespan of the sperm and the egg(s). These are the exact day you ovulate and the five days before ovulation, since the sperm could still be alive and well waiting to fertilize the recently released egg.

🩸You have 2-4 peak fertility days each month – the day of ovulation and the 1-3 days prior to ovulation.
