The ovulation period is the time in a woman's menstrual cycle that she is most likely to get pregnant. Natural family planning is a type of birth control that is approved by many religions.
Women can get pregnant a few days before to a few days after ovulation.
Sperm can live for up to 5 days and the egg lives 24 hours. So even if you are not ovulating the day you have sexual intercourse, you can still get pregnant if you start ovulating within 5 days and the sperm are still alive. Or if you have finished ovulating and you have sex the next day, you can still get pregnant since the egg can still be fertilized. So you should also not have sexual intercourse a few days before and after your ovulation period. You can use one method or a few methods to find out when you ovulate.
