How many days after menstruation does ovulation begin?

Recently, many female friends have been asking how many days after menstruation it takes for ovulation to occur. They are very confused and don’t know what to do. So today I will talk to you about the issue of ovulation after menstruation. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. Let’s take a look!

This specific calculation should be based on your own menstrual cycle, because women's ovulation is affected by the endocrine hormones of the pituitary gland and ovaries and shows cyclical changes. The length of the cycles of the two is the same, both are one cycle per month, and ovulation occurs between two menstrual periods. Women's menstrual cycles vary in length, but the interval between ovulation and the start of the next menstruation is relatively fixed, usually around 14 days. Based on this relationship between ovulation and menstruation, the ovulation period can be calculated according to the menstrual cycle. The calculation method is to count from the first day of the next menstrual period, and count down 14 days or subtract 14 days to get the ovulation day. The ovulation day and the 5 days before and 4 days after the ovulation day are called the ovulation period.

Now let's assume that your menstrual cycle is 30 days. The first day of this menstruation is June 12, so the next menstruation will be on July 12 (June 12 plus 30 days). Then subtract 14 days from July 12, and June 28 is the ovulation day. The ovulation day and the 5 days before and 4 days after it, that is, the ten days from June 23 to July 2, are the ovulation period.

However, if the menstruation itself is abnormal or irregular, there is no way to know the next menstrual period, that is, the specific ovulation time is unknown. In this way, even if the ovulation period is calculated based on the relationship between menstruation and ovulation, it will be inaccurate. Other methods should be combined to determine the ovulation period, such as using ovulation test strips to self-test the ovulation period, or testing basal body temperature, etc.

Through the editor’s sharing above, you have a certain understanding of how many days after menstruation ovulation occurs. Then in your future life, you might as well pay more attention and observe your symptoms carefully! This is the only way to be safe!
