The following is an article about how to calculate the ovulation period in a 38-day menstrual cycle. I hope you can remember its calculation method and calculate your own cycle pattern.

How to calculate ovulation period in a 38-day menstrual cycle

Ovulation is the day in the middle of your menstrual cycle. If your menstrual cycle is 38 days, ovulation occurs around the 19th day of your period. However, it should be noted that the menstrual cycle and the day of menstruation are calculated from the first day of menstruation, that is, the day when menstruation occurs, not from the time when menstruation ends. Ovulation refers to the period when a normal woman of childbearing age releases a mature egg every month. If a woman has a normal menstrual cycle, she will only have one ovulation period each month and the ovulation period has a certain regularity.

Normal women of childbearing age have menstruation once a month. The period from the beginning of this menstruation to the first day of the next menstruation is called a menstrual cycle. For example, from the perspective of contraception, each menstrual cycle of a woman can be divided into the menstrual period, ovulation period and safe period. A woman's ovulation date is generally about 14 days before the next menstrual period.

After the egg is released from the ovary, it can survive in the fallopian tube for 1-2 days, waiting for fertilization. A man's sperm can maintain its fertilizing ability in a woman's reproductive tract for 2-3 days, so it is easy to get pregnant through sexual intercourse a few days before and after the egg is released. To be on the safe side, we call the 5 days before and 4 days after ovulation, together with the ovulation day, a total of 10 days, the ovulation period. Because it is easy to get pregnant through sexual intercourse during the ovulation period, the ovulation period is also called the fertile period or the dangerous period. Generally, arranging sexual intercourse during the ovulation period can increase the pregnancy rate.

Menstrual period date calculation method

Women's physiology changes periodically due to the influence of hormones. Each monthly physiological cycle can be divided into menstrual period, ovulation period and safe period. Generally speaking, for women with normal cycles, the ovulation day is 14 days before the first day of menstruation. The 5 days before ovulation, the 4 days after ovulation, and the ovulation day, a total of 10 days, are the ovulation period. The days other than the ovulation period and the menstrual period are called the safe period. The safety period after ovulation is safer than the safety period before ovulation.

Female physiology is affected by hormones and shows cyclical changes. For example, taking the menstrual cycle of 30 days, the first day of menstruation is September 15, then the next menstruation will be on October 15 (September 15 plus 30 days), and then subtract 14 days from October 15, then October 1 is the ovulation day. The ovulation day and the 5 days before and 4 days after it, that is, the ten days from September 26 to October 5 are the ovulation period.

However, we need to remind everyone that to use this method to calculate the ovulation period, you must first know the length of your menstrual cycle. That is to say, you must have a very normal or regular menstrual cycle to calculate the ovulation period, so it is only applicable to women with normal menstrual cycles.
