How long after you ovulate are you fertile?

This is how the process works. Your oocyte (ovarian egg) has to be in the fallopian tube to even get fertilized by the sperm. When you have a period, that means the unfertilized egg is being flushed out by your body. During your Period, you cannot get pregnant. The next 1.5-2 weeks after your period you 98% cant get pregnant. Reason being, is that your ovary is just barley going to start sending the Oocyte (egg) out down the fallopian tube. The day it starts to send the egg down the tube in your ovulation period, which is the 1.5-2 week after your period process. Now you can get pregnant from then until your body starts to have its period. You are most fertile for 2-3 days when the Oocyte is in the fallopian tube. After those most fertile days, the Oocyte makes it way down to the uterus and waits about one more day to get fertilized, but its not as easy to get pregnant at this point. Then your body again, has a period and flushes the unfertlized egg out again, and the process starts over.
