When do women usually ovulate?

For a woman with a normal menstrual cycle, she will have her period every month. That is to say, from the first day of this menstruation to the first day of the next menstruation, this is a cycle. This cycle is called the menstrual cycle. So when do women generally ovulate? When is a woman's ovulation period? How many days does this ovulation period include? Let's learn about it together today.

Generally speaking, the ovaries of women of normal childbearing age release only one egg per month. The egg can survive 1 to 2 days after being released, and the sperm can survive 2 to 3 days in the female reproductive tract. The fertilization ability is mostly within 24 hours after ovulation. After 2 to 3 days, the sperm loses the ability to combine with the egg. Therefore, if you have sexual intercourse 2 to 3 days before ovulation and 1 to 2 days after ovulation, you may get pregnant. This period is called the fertile period or the dangerous period.

A woman's ovulation date is generally 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, together with the ovulation day, a total of 10 days, the ovulation period. The rest of the time except the menstrual period is called the safe 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.

The key to using safe period contraception is to determine the woman's ovulation date. 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, but 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.

During the ovulation period, women will experience a decrease in appetite and more energy. You will find that you become more energetic during the ovulation period. The body temperature will rise significantly, and women's vaginal discharge will also increase at this time, but the vaginal discharge is now a very viscous substance. The above are all answers to when women generally ovulate. Do you understand?
