Ovulation: Occurs two weeks, or an average of 14 days,
after the beginning of a woman’s last period. A woman has
a rise in her luteinizing hormone (LH) when the egg is
available for fertilization. This is the most probable time
frame to get pregnant.
Conception: When the egg is available for fertilization and
350 million sperm is released inside or near the woman’s
vaginal area, about 200 sperm will reach the egg. Of those
200 sperm, only one will actually penetrate the egg, thus
causing conception.
Gestation: How far along the fetus is, determined by the
beginning of the mother’s last period. Babies are usually
born at 40 weeks, but considered full-term from 37 weeks,
and extends to 42 weeks.
