Calculation of the best fertility period for women

There are many things that women need to pay attention to when preparing for pregnancy. Before becoming pregnant, women should make reasonable arrangements for their diet, emotions, work and rest, and exercise. These are very helpful for physical conditioning. If women do not pay attention, it will not help the body at all and will also affect pregnancy. So when is the best time for women to conceive? There are also some calculation methods, which are introduced in detail below.

Calculation of the best fertile period for women:

1. Calculate ovulation period

If your menstrual cycle is regular, you can roughly calculate the day of ovulation and plan to have sex around the time of ovulation. Calculate when your next menstrual period might occur, and then work backwards 16 days to find your approximate ovulation date.

Here we take a 30-day menstrual cycle as an example: Day 1 (menstruation) Days 15-19 (ovulation) Day 30 (the day before the next menstruation)

This is the most commonly known method, but many people don’t quite understand it.

2. Basal body temperature measurement method

The basal body temperature of normal women changes cyclically during the menstrual cycle. Generally, ovulation occurs before the basal body temperature rises or during the process of rising from low to high. The increase in basal temperature after ovulation indicates that ovulation has occurred. The first three days when the basal temperature is at an elevated level are the "fertile period". The temperature increase is generally 0.3℃～0.C℃.

This method can indicate that ovulation has occurred, but it cannot predict when ovulation will occur.

3. Cervical mucus observation method

Generally, women with a normal menstrual cycle will feel a "dry period" in the genitals after the menstrual period ends, followed by a "wet period", then another "dry period" and the next menstrual period. The "moisture" here refers to the moist feeling of the vulva produced by the cervical mucus originating from the vagina.

Before and after menstruation, mucus is often thick and less in quantity, or even absent. In the middle of the menstrual cycle, the mucus will become thinner and more abundant. The closer to ovulation, the clearer and more transparent it becomes, resembling egg white, and is elastic, with the highest degree of silkiness and the smoothest feeling. The last day of this mucus is called the "peak day," and ovulation occurs 48 hours before and after it. Therefore, it is easy to get pregnant if you have sex during the "wet period" before ovulation until 3 days after the peak day.

After understanding the method of calculating the best fertile period for women, women should pay attention to this when preparing for pregnancy. In addition, if women want to have a comprehensive understanding of their own situation, they should also have a comprehensive physical examination before pregnancy and undergo various examination items so that they can have a good understanding of themselves.
