Detailed explanation-1: -Your menstrual cycle begins on the first day of your period and continues up to the first day of your next period. You’re most fertile at the time of ovulation (when an egg is released from your ovaries), which usually occurs 12 to 14 days before your next period starts.

Detailed explanation-2: -In an average 28-day menstrual cycle, ovulation typically occurs about 14 days before the start of the next menstrual period.

Detailed explanation-3: -Firstly, only a small percentage of women ovulate exactly 14 days before the onset of menses. This is true even for women whose cycles are usually 28 days long. Among the 69 cycles for 28 days in our study, ovulation occurred 14 days before the next menses in only 10%.

Detailed explanation-4: -The follicular phase The follicular phase starts on the first day of your period and lasts for 13 to 14 days, ending in ovulation. The pituitary gland in the brain releases a hormone to stimulate the production of follicles on the surface of an ovary. Usually, only one follicle will mature into an egg.
