How long does it take for ovulation to occur after the follicle ruptures?

Female friends should have a certain understanding of their own body structure and various health knowledge, including that ovulation occurs at the moment the follicle ruptures. This is a short-term action. After understanding this, women can better choose the ovulation date according to their own needs and better protect their own health.

1 How long will it take for ovulation to occur after the follicle ruptures? Ovulation occurs immediately after the follicle ruptures.

During the normal ovulation process, a dominant follicle in the ovary matures and ruptures in the middle of the menstrual cycle. Under the premise of regular menstruation, ovulation often occurs 14 days before the next menstrual period, and a corpus luteum is formed at the same time. The egg is released when the follicle ruptures. Pregnancy on the day of ovulation has nothing to do with whether the baby is a boy or a girl. The concept of ovulation should be the ovulation period. Ovulation itself is an instantaneous action, which is the rupture of the follicle. The ovulation period is when your follicles are generated, mature, rupture and release the egg. This is a process that usually lasts 5-7 days. During this period, the follicles may mature and ovulate at any time, so it is possible to get pregnant even if you have sex during this period. Therefore, ovulation occurs immediately after the follicle ruptures.

2 How long can an egg survive after it is released?

Women ovulate regularly once a month. The ovulation time (ovulation period) is generally 12 to 16 days before the next menstruation. The egg can only survive for 12-30 hours after being released. The average survival time of an egg after being released is 12 to 30 hours, so if you want to have a baby, the egg must quickly merge with the sperm. If the egg does meet a healthy sperm on the way to the uterus, they combine and begin to create new life. But if the egg does not meet the sperm, it will break down in the uterus, ending its journey. Because there is no pregnancy, the ovaries stop producing estrogen and progesterone (also known as progesterone), which help maintain the pregnancy. As levels of these two hormones drop, the thickened endometrium is shed during menstruation and expelled from the body along with the dissolved egg.

3 How to detect ovulation time?

For normal women of childbearing age, they have one menstruation every month. The period from the beginning of this menstruation to the first day of the next menstruation is called a menstrual cycle. Therefore, 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; the male's sperm can maintain fertilization potential in the female'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, the 5 days before and 4 days after ovulation, together with the ovulation day, a total of 10 days are called 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.

The safe period is divided into the safe period before ovulation and the safe period after ovulation. The period from the end of menstruation to the day before ovulation is the safe period before ovulation. From the first day after the end of ovulation to the day before the next menstrual cramps is the safe period after ovulation. The safe period after ovulation is safer than the safe period before ovulation. This is because some women sometimes affected by environmental changes and mood swings affect the advance of the ovulation, so before the safe period ovulation will be shortened, but did not know their own, so before the safety period ovulation is not safe. The opportunity that the ovary has row two eggs in a menstrual cycle is very rare, that is, after ovulation to the next menstrual cramps before this period of time usually won't happen again the second time of ovulation, so the safety period after ovulation is relatively safe.

When the ovaries ovulate, there is generally no special feeling. Even though some women may have symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, back pain, breast swelling and mood changes, these phenomena are not specific symptoms of ovulation and therefore cannot be used as a basis for ovulation. Menstruation and ovulation change cyclically, and there is a close relationship between the two. If you understand the changing patterns of the two, you can determine the ovulation date through indirect methods. There are many ways to determine the ovulation date, and the methods that women can master themselves include: calculating based on the menstrual cycle, measuring basal body temperature, and observing cervical mucus secretion.

4 What to do if the follicle ruptures and ovulation does not occur

1. Clomiphene: The drug of choice for inducing ovulation, used for various types of anovulation other than high prolactin infertility.

2. Human menopausal gonadotropin (HMG): It can be used for infertile patients who do not respond well to clomiphene. The application of this drug has large intra- and inter-individual variability, and ultrasound monitoring is required to understand the development of follicles and prevent the occurrence of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.

3. Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG): It has LH-like effects and is often used in combination with the above-mentioned ovulation-inducing drugs to promote the final maturation of follicles and ovulation.

5 Health Tips:

Follicle rupture mainly causes lower abdominal pain, which is a signal that the egg is being discharged from the ovary. Pre-ovulation pain mostly occurs on one side of the abdomen, often when the pressure in the follicle increases; post-ovulation pain is mostly due to the contraction of the uterus and fallopian tubes during ovulation or bleeding during ovulation that stimulates the pelvic organs; abdominal pain occurs before and after the basal body temperature rises.
