How many days before menstruation is the ovulation period?

Most people calculate their ovulation period based on menstruation as the main calculation target, because the few days before or after menstruation can effectively calculate the time of ovulation. The ovulation period is an important period for many women who want to get pregnant, because the probability of pregnancy reaches its highest point at this time. Therefore, it is very important to calculate the ovulation period. So, when is the ovulation period a few days before menstruation?

Is the first few days of menstruation a safe period or an ovulation period?

If your menstrual cycle is regular, ovulation occurs about 14 days before your next period. Generally, the 5 days before and 4 days after ovulation, together with the ovulation day, a total of 10 days is called the ovulation period, and the rest of the time except the menstrual period is called the safe period. However, due to individual differences and changes in each person's physical condition, the ovulation period and the safe period are only relative, not absolute. We do not advocate not taking contraceptive measures during the safe period. If you hope to conceive by calculating the ovulation period, we recommend that you go to the hospital for B-ultrasound monitoring of ovulation, which is the most accurate!

Ovulation period calculation method: First of all, the premise for calculating the safe period is that the menstrual cycle must be regular. The specific calculation method is as follows: 14 days before the next menstrual period is the ovulation day, 4-5 days before and after the ovulation day is the ovulation period, and the time outside the ovulation period is the safe period. There is no 100% safe period, but there is a certain chance of pregnancy. The safe period may be affected by environmental factors, physical condition, and emotions.

If your menstrual cycle is regular, the safe period generally refers to the first three days after the menstrual period and the seven days before the next menstrual period. However, the contraceptive method using the safe period also has a certain failure rate and is not 100% safe. It is recommended that you use condoms, which is a safe and practical method.

The safe period after menstruation depends on the menstrual cycle and menstrual period. Generally, the seven days before ovulation are the easiest time to get pregnant, and the ovulation period is 14 days before the next menstrual period.

What are the symptoms of ovulation?

1. Decreased appetite: Studies have shown that women eat the least during their ovulation period. Experts point out that this is the result of human natural instincts that have been preserved to this day - female animals during ovulation will focus more on finding the opposite sex for mating rather than finding food.

2. Energetic: This is also a natural instinct inherited from humans. In order to successfully attract the opposite sex, women during ovulation will become energetic and love to express themselves.

3. Increased sexual desire: Generally speaking, women’s sexual desire is particularly strong during their ovulation period, which is a reflection of the fact that women’s body signals that they want to get pregnant have reached their highest level.

4. Decreased resistance: During ovulation, women’s vaginal mucus becomes thinner, allowing sperm to pass more easily and increasing the chances of successful conception. At the same time, women’s nasal mucus also decreases, which increases the chances of bacteria invading the human circulatory system.

5. Anal swelling or pain in one side of the lower abdomen: The mature egg is discharged from the surface of the ovary and needs to break through the thin membrane that covers the surface of the egg.

The follicles, and a small amount of fluid in the follicles will flow into the lowest part of the pelvic cavity. Women will feel a slight falling sensation in the anus, as well as slight pain in one side of the lower abdomen.

6. Increased vaginal secretions: Before ovulation, women have less vaginal secretions, which are sticky and opaque. As ovulation approaches, vaginal secretions gradually increase and become thin and milky white. During ovulation, the amount of secretions increases significantly and becomes watery, transparent and clear. Women will feel their vulva is wet and slippery, and when they wipe it with toilet paper, there will be egg white-like strips of mucus. This increase in vaginal secretions in women usually lasts for 2-3 days, which is the time when women are most likely to conceive.

7. Ovulation bleeding and temperature rise: The ovaries are responsible for the secretion of female endocrine hormones.

Fluctuations in estrogen secretion may cause a small amount of uterine bleeding, called ovulation bleeding. After ovulation, due to the secretion of progesterone, the body temperature will rise slightly. If you can measure your basal body temperature every morning, you can find out your ovulation date based on the changes in body temperature.
