NO
Women do ovulate for about two days a month or 24 days a year.
But the fertility window is more like six to 10 days a month, depending on which expert or study you consult.
The meme making the rounds about this is also inaccurate about men's fertility. They are not fertile every day of their lives.
Age, drinking, smoking, drug use, diabetes all disrupt male fertility.
This fact brief is responsive to conversations such as this one.
