Ovulation Basics for Twins
Conceiving twins requires two separate fertilizations within a short timeframe. The key to successful twin pregnancy is:
- Identifying your ovulation window
- Timing intercourse during the fertile period
- Allowing sufficient time between fertilizations (typically 7-10 days)
Ovulation Window Formula:
Peak ovulation occurs approximately 14 days before your next expected period (average cycle length 28 days). The fertile window extends 5-6 days before and after peak ovulation.
