When is the most likely time for a female to become pregnant during her menstrual cycle?

Pregnancy is most likely around ovulation, when an ovary releases an egg. In a typical 28-day cycle, ovulation occurs about 14 days before the next period; for many people, this is roughly a week after a period ends. The timing varies with cycle length, so this is an estimate rather than a guaranteed rule.
