How high is the chance of pregnancy during ovulation as compared to other times during the cycle?

I know there's more of a change for pregnancy during ovulation, but how much higher is it?

Exponentially higher.You are fertile for about a ten day window around ovulation and most fertile on the days directly surrounding the day you ovulate.It is extremely difficult to conceive on the days directly before your next period and during menstruation; however, because semen can survive for so long in a woman's body, after menstruation the chances go up again until you reach ovulation where it is at it's peak.

There isn’t more of a chance for pregnancy around ovulation, as it is the only chance to get pregnant when ovulating – think about it, how can you get pregnant without an egg?The idea you can get pregnant any time is a half-truth scare tactic taught in schools, as many people aren't responsible enough to educate themselves they continue to believe this and don't understand menstrual cycles or conception. You ovulate one day per cycle around two weeks before your period, the egg lives a few days but about a week before ovulation you produce fertile cervical mucus that protects sperm allowing it to live for up to seven days. So a couple are fertile for around a week, birth control methods like fertility awareness give a few extra days as buffer so all together there are 8-10 days classed as fertile days. You only actually get pregnant when you ovulate, you are fertile for a few days beforehand, the rest of the time you can’t get pregnant, it’s biologically impossible.
