Can you only get pregnant during 5 days of your menstrual cycle?

Whether you're trying to get pregnant or doing everything in your power to avoid it, knowing which days you're most fertile is some seriously valuable information.
For many people, their fertile window is around 5-7 days long. The egg is viable for 1 to 2 days, and sperm can live in the genital tract for 4 to 5 days, the fertile window is generally considered to be 5 to 7 days each cycle.
While your fertile window is the time you’re most likely to get pregnant, there’s still a chance that you can conceive throughout your cycle if you aren’t using birth control.
