Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
Fertile period is the period of the cycle in which the chances of conception are high.
It is generally from day 8 to day 22 of the periods, which is around ovulation.
It is counted from day of the periods, which is counted as day 1.
Ovulation is predicted by increase in clear vaginal discharge, and slight pain in abdomen, which is not always present.
It is difficult to detect exact time of ovulation by signs and symptoms alone.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
