Does your body release an egg before or after your period?

Answer 1

For most women, between each period is a time spam of 28 days roughly. Yours could be shorter or longer.

14 days before your expected period you ovulate (release and egg)

This is known to be the best time for trying for a baby because the egg is ready to be fertilized.

If the egg isn't fertilized you will have your period 14 days later.

So the answer to your question is before.
