How many days does a woman ovulate?

Answer 1

Answer "how long do women ovulate"Women typically ovulate from the beginning of puberty (all eggs are fully formed at birth, and the change in hormone levels during puberty is what sets off the cycle of releasing them) approximately once every 28 days right up until menopause, which can occur as early as 30 years old, or as late as 60 (the average age for the onset of menopause is 51). It is important to note, however, that although women may be phsyically able to conceive well past middle age, it is very dangerous for both the mother and the fetus, and a condition called aneuploidy (incorrect number of chromosomes) occurs in 33% of pregnancies for women aged 35, and 50% for women aged 40. Also, when women are 25 the odds of having a child with Down syndrome is 1 in 1,500; but at the age of 45 the odds are 1 in 30.

If I completely misread the question, and you just wanted to know how long the process of releasign one egg takes, there is a much simpler answer: it only takes a couple hours for the ovum to travel through the fallopian tubes, and the "fertile phase" consists of the few days (let's say, 4) BEFORE ovulation. The oocyte (egg) degenerates after 24 hours in the uterus if it has not been fertilized. Although the womb is a harsh place for anything but a fetus, sperm can survive for several days in there, thus, women are most fertile just before ovulation.
