The difference between fertile period and ovulation period

For women, they should learn more about some knowledge related to female physiology, especially those women who are currently preparing to get pregnant. It is very necessary to understand the fertile period and ovulation period. Maybe many people think that the fertile period and ovulation period are the same. In fact, they are different, and the difference is very big. What is the difference between the fertile period and ovulation period? Let me introduce it in detail below.

What is the difference between fertile period and ovulation day?

1. Both refer to a period. Women's menstrual cycle is generally about 21 to 35 days, with an average of 28 days. Everyone has their own rules.

2. Usually the ovulation period is about 14 days before menstruation. It is easier to get pregnant if you have sex before or after the ovulation period. Therefore, you can calculate your approximate ovulation period based on your menstrual cycle. Having sex during the ovulation period can increase the chances of conception.

How to calculate ovulation day

1. The calculation method is to count from the first day of the next menstrual period, and count down 14 days or subtract 14 days to get the ovulation day. The ovulation day and the 5 days before and 4 days after it are called the ovulation period. This is also the theoretical basis of the safe period contraceptive method, because in the menstrual cycle, except for the menstrual period and ovulation period, the rest of the time is the safe period. For example, if the menstrual cycle is 30 days, the first day of this menstruation is September 29, then the next menstruation will be on October 29 (September 29 plus 30 days), and then subtract 14 days from October 29, then October 15 is the ovulation day. The ovulation day and the 5 days before and 4 days after, that is, the ten days from October 10th to 19th are the ovulation period.

2. To calculate the ovulation period using this method, you must first know the length of your menstrual cycle, that is, you must have a very normal or regular menstrual cycle, in order to calculate the start date of the next menstrual period and then the ovulation period. Therefore, this method is only applicable to women with a normal menstrual cycle. If the menstrual cycle is irregular or abnormal, it is impossible to calculate the date of the next menstrual period, so it is impossible to calculate the ovulation day and ovulation period.

Whether a woman is married or not, she should first undergo relevant pre-marital and pre-pregnancy examinations to ensure good birth and upbringing. Then you need to have a clear understanding of your ovulation period, pay more attention to your diet, and eat more foods that are good for your body's nutrition, so as to ensure successful conception to the greatest extent.
