Does Ovulation Mean Pregnancy?
Ovulation is the process of releasing a mature egg from the ovary, the egg travels down the fallopian tube and is released out of the body. There is many misconceptions out there that ovulation equals pregnancy. Ovulation is, however, the time when pregnancy is possible.
What is Ovulation?
Ovulation is a process that occurs in the female menstrual cycle. Every month, an egg is released from a woman’s ovary and travels to the fallopian tube. Depending on the length of her cycle, this process can take anywhere from 12-16 days. Once the egg is released, it can survive up to 24 hours in the fallopian tube before it disintegrates.
Can You Become Pregnant from Ovulation?
The simple answer is yes, you can get pregnant from ovulation. The egg released during the ovarian process is fertile and ready for fertilization. If sperm is available in the reproductive tract, it can fertilize the egg and create a pregnancy.

What is the difference between ovulation and implantation?
Ovulation is the release of an egg from one of the ovaries, which then travels to the fallopian tube. During ovulation, the egg can become fertilized by sperm and begins to move towards the uterus.
Implantation is the process by which the fertilized egg attaches itself to the lining of the uterus and begins to grow. Once the egg is implanted it will continue to send signals to the body to trigger the start of pregnancy.
