How many days does the actual ovulation period last?

For normal female friends of childbearing age, the ovaries of the uterus only release one egg cell every month. After being released, the egg cell can survive for about 1 to 2 days. Male sperm can survive in the female reproductive system for about 2 to 3 days. So, how many days does the actual ovulation period last? As for fertilization ability, it usually exists within 24 hours after ovulation. If it exceeds 2-3 days, sperm will lose the ability to fuse with egg cells. Therefore, if you have sex 2 to 3 days before ovulation and 1 to 2 days after ovulation, you may become pregnant. This stage is called the fertile period or the dangerous period of pregnancy.

How many days does the actual ovulation period last?

Ovulation time: about 14 days before the next menstrual period. Add the 5 days before and 4 days after ovulation to the day of ovulation. A total of 10 days. These 10 days are called the ovulation period. The other time except the menstrual period is called the safe menstrual period.

How to calculate ovulation period:

1. Cervical mucus method: It is mainly based on checking the cervical mucus of women to determine whether they are in the ovulation period.

2. Body temperature method: Women can accurately measure their body temperature after waking up every morning. Under normal circumstances, the body temperature is lower in the first half of the menstrual period, and even lower when it reaches the ovulation period. After the ovulation period, it will show a trend of slowly rising.

However, the ovulation period will be affected by the state of mind and the natural environment, so whether you choose to conceive during the ovulation period or take contraceptive measures, you must pay attention to this.

How to calculate the ovulation period of women most accurately

Method 1: Use ovulation temperature to measure ovulation period

The ovulation body temperature of normal women is as regular as the menstrual cycle and is related to the ovulation period. Under normal circumstances, a woman's basal body temperature is lower before ovulation, rises after ovulation, and continues until the next menarche, when it begins to drop very late. The body temperature during the ovulation period of the next menstrual cycle will repeat the above changes.

Measure the temperature accurately when you wake up in the morning but before you wake up, then fill in the temperature in the record sheet and connect the daily body temperature into a curve graph. The body temperature is lower in the first half of the menstrual period and rises in the second half of the menstrual period. Ovulation occurs before the body temperature rises or during the process of rising from low to high.

The ovulation period found according to the basic curve chart can be used to determine the safe menstrual period using the method mentioned above. The body temperature during ovulation generally needs to be accurately measured for more than three physiological cycles. If you have a cold, fever, diarrhea, insomnia, drink alcohol, use electric blankets, etc. during the temperature measurement process, it will affect the ovulation temperature and should be indicated at the bottom of the record card.

Method 2: Using cervical mucus to measure ovulation

Cervical mucus is produced by special cells in the cervical canal. Its secretion amount and properties change with the change of ovulation and menstrual cycle. During one menstrual cycle, there are three types of cervical mucus: the non-fertile type, the easy-fertile type, and the very easy-fertile type.

This is an introduction to the calculation method of ovulation. Whether you are using ovulation to conceive, or avoiding ovulation for contraception, you must have a regular menstrual cycle to calculate it correctly.
