Q&A: Can you ovulate during your period?

by Dr. Gerard M. DiLeo

I'm curious about whether or not I can ovulate during menses. Is it possible for a woman to ovulate during her normal four-day period? How soon in a cycle can I ovulate and still be able to conceive?

The only time that's constant is the two weeks after ovulation, before another period begins. It is possible to ovulate before the famous 14th day, but ovulating as early as during a regular four-day period is a stretch and not very likely.
