I'm trying to get pregnant. What should I know about ovulation?

Ovulation is the release of an egg from a mature ovarian follicle. It typically happens 14 days before your next period and can be identified by changes in cervical mucus. During ovulation, the egg is released from the ovary and travels down the fallopian tube toward the uterus. Once it reaches the uterus, it can then be fertilized by sperm if conception occurs.
