Trying to conceive? Then it’s time to truly understand your menstrual cycle — not just when your period is due, but what your body is telling you each week.

Why Timing Is Everything

Most Indian women aren’t taught how their cycle actually works. We hear about periods, PMS, and pregnancy — but not about ovulation, fertile windows, or how to read our body’s signs.

The result? We miss the key window when conception is even possible.

The 4 Phases of Your Cycle

1. Menstrual Phase (Day 1-5): Your period begins. This marks Day 1 of your cycle.
2. Follicular Phase (Day 1-13): Estrogen rises. Your body prepares an egg.
3. Ovulation Phase (Day 14): The egg is released. This is your peak fertile window.
4. Luteal Phase (Day 15-28): Progesterone rises. Your body either supports early pregnancy or resets the cycle.

When Are You Most Fertile?

Your fertile window is about 5-6 days, ending on ovulation day. If your cycle is 28 days long, ovulation usually happens around Day 14.

But not everyone ovulates like clockwork. Tracking is key.

How to Track Your Cycle Accurately

• Basal Body Temperature (BBT): Take your temperature every morning before getting out of bed.
• Cervical mucus: Look for clear, stretchy, egg-white-like discharge — a sign you’re fertile.
• Ovulation predictor kits (OPKs): Detect hormone surges that signal ovulation.
• Cycle apps: Helpful, but should be paired with physical signs for accuracy.

Why You Might Be Missing Your Window

• Irregular cycles (common with PCOS, thyroid issues, stress)
• Misinterpreting spotting or discharge
• Relying only on app predictions
• Not tracking symptoms at all
