On which day of menstruation should I monitor the ovarian follicles?

During menstruation, women need to pay attention to their daily routine and diet. If they do not get enough rest at this time, it will cause various physical discomforts, which will have a great impact on their physical health and make the menstrual flow more or less. So, on which day of the menstrual period should they monitor the follicles? This is something many women are not clear about. They can consult on such issues to gain some understanding.

On which day of menstruation do you monitor follicles?

If B-ultrasound is used to detect follicles, generally speaking, the diameter of the follicles on the 5th to 6th day of the menstrual cycle is about 5-7mm, and the diameter of the follicles on the 10th day can reach 10mm, which can be clearly displayed by ultrasound. Therefore, B-ultrasound detection of ovulation can be performed 10 days after menstruation.

If you use ovulation test strips to detect follicles, you should use the ovulation test strips once a day about a week after the end of your period. If you find that the ovulation test strips are getting stronger and stronger, you should increase the frequency of testing, and it is best to test once every 4 hours. If you compare the test strips and find that the ovulation test strip begins to weaken and quickly becomes weaker, it means that ovulation is about to occur and you can plan to have sex. The 24-48 hours after the ovulation test paper turns weak is generally the time range for ovulation.

What are the methods for testing ovulation?

In some cases, you may need to determine your ovulation day, such as contraception, pregnancy, etc. In fact, it is not difficult to determine the ovulation date. There are nine methods to determine the ovulation date, namely: estimation method, menstrual date estimation method, ultrasonic examination method, ovulation "lipstick" test, Aquino method, cervical mucus method, intermediate pain method, basal body temperature method, and urine measurement method. You can guide contraception and pregnancy based on your actual situation.

1. Inference method:

Usually, women ovulate about 2 weeks (12-16 days) before their next menstrual period. Therefore, you can calculate it yourself based on the rules of your previous menstrual cycles. However, the ovulation period may change due to the influence of environment, disease, mood and medication, so the calculation of ovulation date should be based on actual conditions.

2. Method for calculating the menstrual date:

It is believed that each ovulation should occur about 14 days before menstruation, so the 5 days before ovulation to 5 days after ovulation are called "ovulation day". However, this method is less reliable because most women have irregular periods. In comparison, the first two methods are more reliable, but somewhat troublesome. Here we introduce you to a simple and more reliable calculation method, hoping it will be helpful to you. The calculation formula is:

The first day of ovulation = the number of days in the shortest menstrual cycle minus 18 days

The last day of ovulation = the longest menstrual cycle minus 11 days

When monitoring follicles during menstruation, women should pay attention to food choices when examining their own bodies. They should choose foods that are suitable for them. They should not eat foods that are not suitable for them, otherwise it will have a great impact on the body. This is also something that should be paid attention to.
