A women can only get pregnant a few days a month, but if you aren't keeping track, you may not know when those few days are because they vary with every woman! Pregnancy can occur if a woman has unprotected sex within five-six days before and possibly one day after ovulation. That is only in ideal conditions, because sperm may not last five-six days and your egg may not last a day after ovulation.
If you have regular periods, you will ovulate approximately 10-16 days before you expect your next period. If you don't have regular periods, it is much harder to tell.
You can track your cervical fluid (discharge). It may be drier right after your period, then sticky, then creamy. When you are about to ovulate, it becomes very stretchy and looks like egg whites. The egg white fluid is what is important for fertility. When you have it, you can consider yourself very fertile.
If you want to be very sure when you ovulate, don't depend on rules such as "day 14" etc. because those are myths based on the idea that every women is exactly the same. In reality, it can vary from day 10 to day 60 or later. I ovulated around day 23-25! The best way to know your body is to keep track of your fluids and take your base temperature every morning to determine exactly when you ovulate. This works as an aid to achieving or avoiding pregnancy, and is also good for diagnosing menstrual cycle problems.

women is most fertile in middle of her cycle flowless days...ovulation occurs then...when u feel slight lower abdominal pain/irritable/vaginal fluid alters somewhat to more fluidy...about 14 days in(*counted from 1st day of period )28 day cycle
theres 14 days from ovulation to next period but we cant say from end of period when will it occur....
sperms live for 2 days inside womb and ovum will live for 3 days so 5 days around middle of period a women is most fertile
so we can safely have sex in days before and immediatly after periods ....not very reliable still its a practice by orthodox religious persons .........as a birth control measure
