    The funny thing about fertility is that when you're trying to avoid getting pregnant, it can feel like you're fertile all of the time.

    And if you are trying to get pregnant, then your fertile window — the time that intercourse could lead to pregnancy — seems nearly impossible to pin down.

    Those of us who are actively trying to avoid having a kid may have wondered: If you can calculate when you're most fertile, can you also tell the days in your cycle are you least likely to get pregnant?

    The fertile window falls around ovulation, which is when the egg is released from the ovaries, explains Kate O'Connell White, MD, MPH, director, Fellowship in Family Planning, department of Ob/Gyn at Boston University, Boston Medical Center.

    For the average person, ovulation occurs around day 14 of the menstrual cycle, but "the day of ovulation is flexible and not fixed in time," she says.
