Both women and men have hormonal cycles which determine both when a woman can achieve pregnancy and when a man is most fertile. The female cycle is approximately twenty-eight days long, but the male cycle is variable. Women ovulate at about the fourteenth day of their cycle, this obviously being the most fertile time for females. Men can ejaculate and produce sperm at any time of the month, but their libido dips occasionally, which scientists guess is in relation to their internal cycle. During the fourteenth week of fetal growth, a women’s eggs (or ova) form in her ovaries, where they will remain until puberty. At puberty, the eggs will eventually start to mature one-by-one. At ovulation, the egg bursts from the ovary sometimes causing a small, sharp pain called mittelschmerz. If the egg is not fertilized by the male’s sperm, the egg will break down within twenty-four hours into its components (mostly protein) and be reabsorbed by the body.

Most women ovulate (release an egg from the ovary) about two weeks before their period. If your cycle is regular, count back 12-16 days from the day your period normally starts and this will give you a rough idea of when you are fertile.

No, she is probably LEAST fertile when she is having her period. Her most fertile period is when she is ovulating, which occurs between periods. Therefore, if her period usually comes every 28 days, then she is most likely ovualting (and fertile) about 14 days after the first day of her period. If her cycle runs every 32 days, she will ovulate around the 16th days after the first day of her period. Got it?

You are not fertile during your period, you can not get pregnant. Your most fertile day will be 14 days after your period started.

A woman is most fertile 14 days before her period starts. Best time to go for it is right after a period if you don't want a kid(or during it if you're a sicko)

You're at your most fertile the second week after your period ends for a week. You're at your least fertile the week before your period.

You are not fertile when you are on your period because it is the process that your body uses to get rid of the egg and uterus lining. After your period stops you still aren't that fertile. You have to wait a while until a new egg is implanted in your uterus.

Menstruation is the "flushing" of the system, including the (usually) unfertilized egg, so is definitely one of the least likely times when the woman is likely to become pregnant.

From:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menstruation#The_fertile_window

"If a woman wants to conceive, the most fertile time occurs between 19 and 10 days prior to the expected menses."
