Why is the fertile period longer than just the day of ovulation in a menstrual cycle?

Mainly because sperm can live for up to a week in the proper environment. Your uterus and fallopian tubes - in the week prior to ovulation, just happens to have the perfect environment for sperm to wait for ovulation! So even tho we only have a narrow window of 12 to 24 hours to conceive, we have the whole week prior where we graciously play hostess to a half a million or so sperm waiting at the gate (so to speak).

What is the difference between fertile egg to an infertile egg?

I think that being very fertile means your eggs are of a good quality, very healthy etc. Ovulation is where your ovary(one of the two) releases an ovum down the fallopian tube.

How come my ex girlfriend cherry popped and she didn't get pregnant when I ejaculated?

Just because you have intercourse with a woman does not mean she will get pregnant. Your sperm would have had to have reached her egg and fertilize it while she is ovulating. # Conception usually occurs about 5-7 days after intercourse # Your most fertile period is about 5 days before ovulation # For most(but not all)women ovulation occurs about 14 days prior to her period.
