In short, the answer is “No, you cannot increase the amount of time that you are ovulating.” Having said that, there are certainly things that you should be aware of, in terms of the length of your cycle and how it relates to conception.

The process of ovulating is a relatively quick one. After the ovary releases an egg and it travels to the fallopian tube, there is only about a 24-hour period in which that egg could actually be fertilized, before ovulation is over. The fact of the matter is, however, that most women are not as concerned with specific amount of time that it takes to ovulate, but rather the amount of time that she is fertile.

Here again, you can’t necessarily increase the amount of time that you are fertile. Sperm can live in a woman’s body for around five to six days. This means that there are around seven days each cycle during which you could become pregnant. If you have a longer cycle, you will ovulate fewer times in a given year than you will if you have a shorter cycle. There is not much that you can do, however, to change this.

One important timing factor in regard to ovulation is the timing of the luteal phase. The luteal phase is the portion of a woman’s monthly cycle that occurs between ovulation and menstruation. The luteal phase is an important part of conception. During the luteal phase, the fertilized egg will travel from the fallopian tube to the uterus. There, the fertilized egg will implant and grow. The luteal phase typically will last for around fourteen days. If your luteal phase is shorter than 12 days, however, it can lead to a miscarriage.

There are ways you can increase the amount of tie in your luteal phase. Vitamin B6 and progesterone cream are both sold over-the-counter as remedies for a short luteal phase. The prescription fertility medication Clomid is also thought to help increase the amount of time in the luteal phase. If you believe you have a short luteal phase, you should consider speaking with your health care provider.
