Ovulation is happening or about to happen. If an egg meets a sperm this week, the magic begins. The fertilized egg will start dividing immediately.

💕 What She's Going Through

She may notice ovulation signs — slight cramping, changes in cervical mucus, increased energy. Or nothing at all.

💪 What You Should Do This Week

  • This is go-time if you're trying. Every other day this week is the recommended frequency
  • Keep stress low for both of you — cortisol can affect conception
  • Stock the fridge with healthy food

🚫 Don't Say This

Did it work?

You won't know for another 2 weeks minimum. Just be present.

🧠 Dad Hack
