Will ovulation occur during menstruation?

Many women know that it is not easy to get pregnant during menstruation because it is not the ovulation period. However, there are still various voices on the Internet. Some women think that they became pregnant during their menstrual period. I still want to tell everyone here that you should avoid having sex during your menstrual period as much as possible to prevent infection. In addition, let’s take a look at whether ovulation occurs during menstruation?

Does menstruation mean ovulation?

In most cases, the menstrual period is not a period of ovulation. Ovulation usually occurs about 14 days before the next menstrual period. To be on the safe side, we call the 5 days before and 4 days after ovulation, plus the 10 days outside the ovulation period, the ovulation period. However, if a woman takes weight loss products, emergency contraceptives and other drugs, it may cause menstrual disorders and affect the normal ovulation period. Ovulation during the menstrual period may occur, but this possibility is small.

During the menstrual period, the female hormone level in women is very low, so it is impossible to ovulate during the menstrual period because women's eggs do not grow and develop during the menstrual period. With the end of the menstrual period, the body's female hormones gradually recover, and the egg slowly grows to maturity and then the follicle ruptures and ovulates. The development of a woman's uterus is a process, and the day when the egg ruptures is not fixed, so the ovulation period is not fixed. Generally, the ovulation period is one day before the first day of the next menstrual period, but this calculation method is not necessarily accurate. You can use basic body temperature measurement or go to the hospital to accurately measure when ovulation occurs.

How to calculate ovulation period?

For normal menstrual cycles: Women's ovulation is affected by the endocrine hormones of the hypothalamus-pituitary gland and the uterus and ovaries and shows regular changes. The length of the cycles of the two is the same, both of which are one cycle per month, and the ovulation period occurs between two menstrual periods. Women's menstrual cycles vary in length, but the time interval between ovulation and the start of the next menstrual period is relatively fixed, usually about 14 days. Then, based on the relationship between ovulation and menstruation, the ovulation period can be calculated according to the physiological cycle.
