It is important to know the woman’s fertile period for a healthy conception.Several couples struggle with conception while planning for a baby. Dr. Nupur Gupta (Obstetrician & Gynaecologist, Paras Hospital, Gurugram) sheds some light on the right period for a healthy conception.

Here are some things to think about:

• She explains that with regard to ovulation, for a woman who has a regular menstrual cycle, the days between 9-16 is her fertile period which is ideal for conception.
• You can count the first day as the day a woman gets her period and calculate the 9^th day from that day onwards.
• She explains that regardless of whether a couple is staying together or not, whether they meet regularly or not, even meeting once in two days is more than enough for a healthy conception.
