How to calculate ovulation period?

Women are prone to many problems. When solving women's physical problems, we cannot choose methods blindly. Many women choose some treatments when they don't understand their own problems, which will cause other problems in the body. This is very harmful to physical health. So how do you calculate the ovulation period? It is relatively simple for women to calculate the ovulation period. The following is a detailed introduction.

How to calculate ovulation period:

1. Cervical mucus observation method (must be done in the hospital).

2. Basal body temperature measurement method. That is: the basal body temperature is the temperature measured when the body wakes up after a long period of sleep (usually in the early morning) and before any activity or speaking. Under normal circumstances, the basal body temperature of women of childbearing age is lower in the first half of menstruation and even lower during ovulation. It may suddenly or slowly rise by 0.3-0.6℃ within 24 hours to a few days after ovulation.

Therefore, it is best to measure basal body temperature from the first day of menstruation, measure it every day, and record it on coordinate paper for observation and analysis.

3. Method for calculating menstrual date. That is: It is believed that each ovulation should occur about 14 days before menstruation, so the 5 days before ovulation to 5 days after ovulation is called the "ovulation period". 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:

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

Before using this formula for calculation, the individual is required to observe and record his or her menstrual cycle for 8 consecutive times to obtain the longest and shortest number of days in his or her menstrual cycle. The numbers obtained by substituting them into the above formula represent the beginning and end time of the woman's "ovulation period" respectively. (The menstrual cycle is calculated from the first day of the current menstrual period to the first day of the next menstrual period) For example, the longest menstrual cycle of a woman of childbearing age in the first 8 months is 30 days and the shortest is 28 days. Substituting the formula into the formula is:

The first day of ovulation = 28 days - 18 days = 10 days The last day of ovulation = 30 days - 11 days = 19 days That is: this woman’s "ovulation period" starts on the 10th day of this menstruation and ends on the 19th day of this menstruation.

After understanding how to calculate the ovulation period, women can use the above method to calculate the ovulation period. However, it should be noted that when calculating the ovulation period, women must have a good grasp of their own menstrual period so that the calculation will not be wrong, allowing women to proceed smoothly in contraception and preparation for pregnancy.
