A fertility cycle is essentially the amount of time it takes for a woman to return to her monthly period of heightened fertility.
Average fertility cycles, which is the same as one's menstrual cycle, are 28 days, yet can range between 21 to 35 days. For women who are serious about conceiving the first step is to pay close attention to their fertility cycles.
Of course this may be harder than it sounds. In previous generations many women reported standard cycles. This means that their fertility cycle rarely fluctuated. In today's world research indicates that many women report that their monthly fertility cycle fluctuates, making it harder for them to pin down a constant set of dates for heightened fertility. Despite this, with constant awareness and focus a woman should be able to at least come close to knowing a standard pattern for her fertility cycle enabling her and her husband a chance to conceive.
