How long is the best time to have sex during the peak period of ovulation?

Women only ovulate for a few days each month and only release one egg each month, so having sex during the peak ovulation period can greatly increase the chances of conception. Although ovulation is only a matter of a moment, the egg will stay in the woman's fallopian tube for a period of time, and the sperm can also stay in the woman's body for a period of time, so having sex during this period will increase the possibility of pregnancy.

Ovulation is just a matter of a moment. The egg cell will stay in the fallopian tube for a period of time, usually within 24 hours. If the menstrual cycle is regular for 28 days, then the 14 days before the next menstrual period is generally considered to be the ovulation period. However, there are many factors that affect ovulation, and it is common for ovulation to be early or late. If you want to get pregnant, it is recommended not to calculate the ovulation period, and maintain a certain frequency of sexual intercourse after the menstruation is over, because sperm can stay in the fallopian tube for 3-5 days or even longer, so having sex before the ovulation period can increase the chance of conception.

The menstrual cycle of women all over the world ranges from 21 to 35 days, with an average of 28 days. Generally speaking, as long as it is a regular, normal menstrual cycle with ovulation, the luteal phase of menstruation after ovulation is relatively fixed, which is 12 to 16 days, with an average of 14 days. The period before ovulation is called the follicular phase, and its duration varies depending on the length of the cycle, but the luteal phase after ovulation is basically the same, which is 14 days. Therefore, if you have a regular and normal menstrual cycle and your cycle is 21 days, you may ovulate on the 6th or 7th day of your cycle. If your menstrual cycle is 35 days, you may ovulate on the 20th or 21st day.

If your menstrual cycle is 35 days and you had your period on October 1, 2011, then your next period should be on November 5, 2011. The 35 days in between are the menstrual cycle, and the ovulation day should be the 15th day from November 4, which is October 21.

Therefore, whether for pregnancy or contraception, it is important to develop a good habit of recording your menstrual cycle. In addition, the ovulation date cannot be determined simply by calculating based on the menstrual cycle. Especially women with irregular menstrual cycles and difficult to predict the date of their next menstrual period must resort to other methods.
