The menstrual cycle of an average woman is a 28-day cycle. It is divided into four major phases.

# Menstruation phase: This is when a woman menstruates or what we usually call bleeding. The first day of menstruation is considered as the first day of the menstrual cycle. It is normally considered as a 7-day phase. In this phase, the endometrium tissue of a woman's uterus breaks down and is removed from the body as menstrual blood.

# Proliferation phase: This phase occurs from day 8 to day 13 of the menstrual cycle. The endometrium prepares itself for implantation and tissue starts building up again. Meanwhile, the egg cell is ready for ovulation by the end of this phase. # Ovulation phase: It occurs on the 14th day of the menstrual cycle. In this phase, the egg is released from the ovary and taken up by the fallopian tube. # Post-ovualation phase: During this phase, if the egg is not fertilised, the ovulation follicle of the ovary gets converted to corpus luteum. During this phase, the hormone levels of oestrogen fall. At the end of the phase, the endometrial tissue starts to break down. So, ovulation occurs roughly 14 days before a period(menstruation).

How many days before or after menstruation can you considered a woman fertile?

A woman is typically considered fertile during the ovulation period, which usually occurs about 14 days before her next menstrual period. This means she can be fertile approximately 5 days before ovulation and 1 day after, resulting in a fertility window of about 6 days. Overall, this places the fertile window around days 10 to 16 of a typical 28-day menstrual cycle, though this can vary based on individual cycle lengths.
