Recognizing the Fertile Window

What it is

As you put it together, you can recognize your fertile window, the stretch of your cycle when your body is able to conceive.

Where it opens and closes

In the method, it opens at the first change from your Basic Infertile Pattern, and closes on the third day after Peak.

Before it, and after it, are your non-fertile days.

Fifteen days of a cycle with the stretch from the first change through the third day after Peak shaded
The shaded stretch: first change through the third day after Peak.
You're not calculating or predicting. You're recognizing, from what you observe. The window becomes something you can see in your own chart.
