What day of ovulation is best to conceive?

I am a 26 year old female. I want to know what day of ovulation is best to conceive?

Once ovulation occurs, you have a 24 hour window for conception.
So, assuming you know when you ovulate, you should have intercourse 2 days before you ovulate, the day you ovulate and 2 days after you ovulate. Also, I would recommend not having intercourse (your husband not ejaculating) for 4 days before the 2-days-before you ovulate time that you have intercourse.
I hope that 2nd paragraph makes sense.

Good luck,

Dear patient,

This depends on how regulate her menstrual cycles are and you menstrual intervals. If you're sure you can always get an ovulation detection kit from any pharmacy store.
You typically release one egg each month from one ovary and then the other ovary the next month. The release of that egg is referred to as ovulation. It only takes moments for that to happen. Typically you can have sex one or two days before or after ovulation and still conceive. You generally ovulate 14 days before your period.
