Therefore, she cannot get pregnant more than once during a cycle. Remember, if you are not using a tracking method such as OPKs, basal body temperature, or cervical mucus, there is no guaranteed way to pin down the day you are ovulating.
Multiple ovulation is another phenomenon that can occur and is when two or more eggs are released in a single cycle. The eggs are released during one 24 hour period and are responsible for the birth of fraternal twins.
Most women ovulate anywhere between Day 11 — Day 21 of their cycle, counting from the first day of their last period. Ovulation can occur at any point during this window and may occur on a different day each month. A combination of methods such as observing your cervical fluid, taking your basal body temperature daily, and tracking your periods can help you identify your time of ovulation.

During ovulation, an egg is only available to be fertilized for about hours. But sperm can live in the body for days after sex and the egg is available for one day, so your most fertile time is about days.
This is a myth that many, including healthcare professionals, still believe. This is not an accurate way to calculate ovulation because many women do NOT ovulate on the 14th day of their cycle. The day of ovulation differs from woman to woman and can even be different from month to month for an individual woman. For a woman with a day cycle, the window of ovulation is day 11 through day 21 of your cycle.
Ovulation could occur on any one day during this window. Menstruation or a period is the bleeding that occurs when the endometrium is shed 12 to 16 days after ovulation. With this definition of a period, you cannot ovulate while on your period. However, some women experience mid-cycle or ovulatory bleeding bleeding that occurs around ovulation and may mistake it for a period. This can happen to women with very irregular cycles coming once every 3 months or times in one month.
Mid-cycle bleeding can occur in women with regular cycles as well. They may experience what appears to be a period, but, in reality, this is most likely ovulatory bleeding. Ovulation can occur when you experience mid-cycle or ovulatory bleeding. Keep in mind that while you cannot technically ovulate while on a period because sperm can live in the body for days after sex, pregnancy could occur from intercourse that takes place during a period. That is determined by how many days are in your cycle.
The number of days in your cycle is calculated by counting the number of days from the beginning of one period to the beginning of the next period. If you have a short cycle, for example, 21 days, and you bleed for 7 days, then you could ovulate right after your period. This is because ovulation generally occurs days before your next period begins, and this would estimate you ovulating at days of your cycle. While conception cannot occur while you are on your period, pregnancy can occur from the intercourse you have during a period.

Right-sided ovulation favours pregnancy more than left-sided ovulation. Some of the most common changes include fertile vaginal discharge, cervical changes, and also your mood changes. The time period could depend from one female to the other because as mentioned earlier some females could experience EWCM for about five days and some only a day or two.
The desire for sex increases whenever the female is in her most fertile period. The hormone that is responsible for the egg white discharge is Estrogen. This means that when your Estrogen levels are low you will not be getting quality cervical mucus. This type of situation or condition may occur due to some side effects of certain medications or due to age or some hormonal imbalance. To know more about when you can have sex you should consult with a doctor about it.
In case, you do not have an idea you should do some research on your own because later you do not want any problem happening to become pregnant. There are some signs or you can say some kind of symptoms that will help you understand when ovulation will likely occur.
