Hippocrates, Aristotle, and Soranus all mention that women are most likely to fall pregnant during menstruation or the days following it. They correctly realised the connection between the menstrual cycle and conception, but they committed a serious mistake concerning the time of conception and they did not rectify this error for seven centuries. The mistake probably comes from the observation of bitches being in heat as these ancient scholars linked the two phenomena - being on heat and menses - in the wrong way
