During the menstrual cycle the most fertile time is around ovulation, which is ,depending on the length of the luteal phase, 14 days before the menstrual period. A woman can ovulate anytime between day 8 and day 22 depending on the length of her cycle. The least probable time to get pregnant is after ovulation. This can be determined by the fact the the cervix position changes becoming higher, harder and closed. The cervical mucus changes to infertile mucus which is creamy, white sticky in consistency. The basal body temperature also changes. After ovulation, during the second phase of the menstrual cycle, there is what is referred to as the thermal shift when the basal body temperature increases of a few degrees. If a woman detects thee consecutive high temperature values, she has already ovulated and she is in her infertile time of the month.
