How long does it take for ovulation to occur?

Many female friends do not know how to calculate the ovulation period, so they want to verify it through their physical condition. In fact, during the ovulation period, women rarely experience obvious physical symptoms. If you want to judge the ovulation period by the transparency of leucorrhea, it is inaccurate. So, how do we determine our ovulation period? The specific calculation method is as follows:

Ovulation day is the day when the egg is released. Under normal menstruation conditions, a woman's ovulation period is counted from the first day of the next menstruation, and the ovulation day is 14-16 days counted down. The 5 days before and 4 days after the ovulation day are added together to form the ovulation period.

Fertilization is more likely during ovulation. The most fertile time is from the day before ovulation to the day of ovulation. It mainly discharges secondary oocytes, i.e. egg cells. After this secondary oocyte enters the fallopian tube, it undergoes the second meiotic division in the fallopian tube. This division occurs after fertilization, after the sperm nucleus enters the secondary oocyte. As a result of the division, a large effective cell, the egg cell, and a polar body that cannot be fertilized are produced. Normal women of childbearing age have menstruation once a month. The period from the beginning of this menstruation to the first day of the next menstruation is called a menstrual cycle. For example, from the perspective of contraception, each menstrual cycle of a woman can be divided into the menstrual period, ovulation period and safe period. A woman's ovulation date is generally about 14 days before the next menstrual period. The 5 days before and 4 days after ovulation, together with the ovulation day, a total of 10 days are called the ovulation period. Ovulation can usually be detected through B-ultrasound or ovulation detector.

Here’s how:

1. Cervical mucus method: In the hospital gynecology department, the cervical mucus is checked to determine whether you are in the ovulation period.

Cervical mucus stretch test (this requires some gynecological experience to identify)

It is common knowledge that secretions increase during ovulation, and I believe every woman knows this. This is because the cervix secretes a large amount of cervical mucus during ovulation.

2.Basal body temperature method:

The so-called basal body temperature refers to the body temperature when you wake up in the morning, your body remains quiet and your mood is calm. This method of measuring ovulation has a lag and requires a measurement process of 3-4 months. During the menstrual cycle, basal body temperature changes cyclically. The basal body temperature is lower after menstruation and during the follicular phase. After ovulation, the corpus luteum is formed in the ovary, and the progesterone produced acts on the hypothalamic temperature regulation center, causing the body temperature to rise by 0.3-0.5℃, which lasts until 1-2 days before menstruation or the first day of menstruation, when the body temperature returns to its original level. Since human body temperature can change due to a number of reasons, when measuring it, you must have a normal life routine, sleep for more than 6 hours a day, and the measurement time should be roughly the same every day. As the pace of life quickens, work and rest times become irregular, with an accuracy rate of around 60%.
