Usually, at the 14th day of your menstrual cycle, which is about at the end of the second week of pregnancy, ovulation occurs.

After release, the egg remains in the fallopian tube for about 24 to 36 hours. Within this period the egg needs to be fertilized by sperm. This is the reason why you need to know about the time of your ovulation. After ovulation the egg is fertilized by the sperm within 24 hours.
