Ovulation is triggered by a sudden surge in Luteinizing Hormone (LH) secreted by the anterior pituitary gland, which causes the mature Graafian follicle to rupture and release an ovum.<\/p>\n<p>The biological fertile window encompasses exactly <strong>6 days<\/strong>: the five days preceding ovulation plus the day of ovulation itself. This duration is dictated by cellular longevity:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Spermatozoa Survival:<\/strong> Sperm can survive within estrogenized fertile cervical mucus and crypts in the female reproductive tract for up to <strong>5 days (120 hours)<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Oocyte Viability:<\/strong> Once released, the human egg remains viable for fertilization for only <strong>12 to 24 hours<\/strong>. After this window, the pellucida degenerates, preventing fertilization.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"kr-formula-box\">\n<h4>Luteal Phase Mathematical Formula<\/h4>\n<p>  <code>Ovulation Day = Cycle Length - 14 days<\/code><br \/>\n  <code>Fertile Window = Ovulation Day - 5 days through Ovulation Day<\/code><\/p>\n<p>For a 28-day cycle: Ovulation occurs on Day 14 (28 &#8211; 14), making Days 9 through 14 the fertile window.
