The duration of a woman's fertile period is typically around six days, ending 24 hours following ovulation.

What is ovulation?

CycleBeads - Frequently Asked Questions
Ovulation is the release of an egg by the woman's ovary. In almost every menstrual cycle, the woman's ovary releases an egg. There are thousands of eggs inside the woman's ovaries. The natural chemicals in her body trigger the development of one of these eggs every cycle. When the egg is ready to be fertilized, it comes out of the ovary and travels down the woman's tubes to her uterus. If the man's sperm has fertilized it, the egg can attach itself to the uterus and the woman is pregnant.

Ovulation Kits - WikiFAQ - Answers to Frequently Asked Quest...
Ovulation is the process of an ovary releasing an egg from the follicle, permitting the egg to float down the fallopian tubes. Conception, or fertilization, occurs when the male's sperm meets with the woman's ovum (egg) and successfully penetrates it, typically in a fallopian tube. Then the fertilized egg travels to the uterus and implants in the uterine lining. For pregnancy to take place, fertilization of the egg must be followed by a successful implantation.

If my timing was perfect according to an Ovulation Prediction Test, why didn't I get pregnant?

Fertility Check Home Test Kit - Menopause and Ovulation Preg...
It can take several perfectly timed cycles in order to get pregnant. As you get older, the chances of pregnancy begins to drop. From the age of 20 to 25, the chances are approximately 25%, and this probability begins to lower as you age. 25 to 30 is a 20% chance and 30 to 35 is around 15%, with a 10% chance after age 35. In other words, the average chance of pregnancy for a woman under 30 is within 6 cycles. If pregnancy is not achieved within a year, a fertility specialist should be consulted.

Can I use a microscope to see the DNA that I extract?

Frequently Asked Questions
Unfortunately, a microscope will not allow you to see the double helical structure of the DNA molecule. You'll only see a massive mess of many, many DNA molecules clumped together. In fact, the width of the DNA double helix is approximately one billionth of a meter! This is much too small to see, even with the most powerful microscope. Instead, a technique called X-ray crystallography can be used to produce a picture of the DNA molecule.
