Thinking about becoming pregnant

On average, how many days of the month is a woman most fertile?
6
12
28
30

The answer is 6. 

When it comes to getting pregnant, timing is important. In order to figure out when you’re most fertile, chart your menstrual cycle for a few months and record how long it lasts. Next, subtract 18 days from the length of your shortest cycle, which will provide for you a date when you’re most fertile. Next, subtract 11 days from the length of your longest cycle, to calculate the last day you’re likely to be fertile. Having sex within that time period will give you the best shot at conception.

38 weeks
40 weeks

The answer is C.
