Bayer, MD, a reproductive endocrinologist at Boston IVF fertility clinic in Boston. These kits detect a surge in luteinizing hormone (LH) that happens about 36 hours before you ovulate. </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_15-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <p id="mntl-sc-block_16-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html"> After the test kit shows a surge, Dr. Bayer recommends having sex in the next 24 to 36 hours.

"You'll see vaginal discharge that increases in amount and has the consistency of egg whites, signaling it's the perfect time to have intercourse," explains Dr. Bayer. You can test your cervical mucus by sticking your index finger and thumb in your vagina to get a sample, then tapping your finger and thumb together. If the consistency is thin and stretches easily between two fingers, you're good to go.<span class="ql-inline-citation" data-cite="4"></span> </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_19-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <p id="mntl-sc-block_20-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html"> You can also track fertile days using an ovulation calculator, like the one below. </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_21-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <div id="mntl-sc-block_22-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-tool mntl-block mntl-sc-block--ovulation-calculator"><div id="deferredToolGroup_1-0" class="comp deferredToolGroup ovulation-calculator mntl-block" data-defer="load"></div></div> <div id="mntl-sc-block_23-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <span class="heading-toc" id="toc-your-chances-of-getting-pregnant-after-ovulation"></span><h2 id="mntl-sc-block_24-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block parents-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading"> <span class="mntl-sc-block-heading__text"> Your Chances of Getting Pregnant After Ovulation </span> </h2> <p id="mntl-sc-block_25-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html"> Also known as the luteal phase, this portion of your cycle begins after ovulation and ends at the start of your next period.
