Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
During which phase of the menstrual cycle if a woman were to have intercourse during this time, the thick mucus captures the man’s sperm, nourishes it, and helps it to move towards the egg for fertilization?
A
Follicular
B
Ovulatory
C
Luteal
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Progesterone prepares the uterus for a fertilized egg to implant. If intercourse has taken place and a man’s sperm has fertilized the egg (a process called conception), the fertilized egg (embryo) will travel through the fallopian tube to implant in the uterus.

Detailed explanation-2: -The follicular phase is the longest phase of your menstrual cycle. During ovulation, your ovary releases the egg that matured during the follicular phase. It begins its journey to your fallopian tubes. Ovulation marks the end of the follicular phase and the beginning of the luteal phase.

Detailed explanation-3: -While conception happens during the luteal phase, your best chances to get pregnant (the most fertile days of your cycle) occur in the follicular phase. If you wait until AFTER ovulation to try to get pregnant, you only have 12 to 24 hours for conception to occur.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sperm can survive in a woman’s reproductive system for up to 5 days whether the woman is menstruating or not. Thus, even if a woman has sex during her period, sperm from ejaculation may remain inside her reproductive system and may fertilize the egg if ovulation occurs.
