Knowing your menstrual cycle and ovulation can help when trying to conceive. Ovulation usually occurs 14 days before your period. The best time for conception generally is on the day before or on the day of ovulation. You may want to try using apps and resources, like an ovulation calculator, to track your fertile days.
