Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a menstrual cycle of 28 days, ovulation usually occurs on days 14 to 16. This is calculated by subtracting 14 from the length of the menstrual cycle (28-14=14), which gives the midpoint of the cycle. Ovulation usually occurs 2 days before or after this midpoint, making the range of ovulation days 12-16.
