What is the difference between ovulation day and ovulation period?

Ovulation period and ovulation day are actually two different concepts, but many women always confuse the two. Ovulation refers to the period from the formation to the discharge of the egg, which cannot be completed within one day. As the name suggests, ovulation day is the day when the egg is released from the female body. Therefore, if you want to conceive successfully, you must seize the ovulation period. Now, let’s see how to distinguish between the two.

The difference between ovulation period and ovulation day:

Many women don't know the difference between ovulation period and ovulation day. Simply put, the ovulation period is 10 days, but the ovulation day is only 1 day. For example, if the 15th of each month is the ovulation day, then the 10th to 20th is the ovulation period.

Why does ovulation take so long to conceive?

For a woman to conceive successfully, an egg must be released from the body, and the egg and sperm must meet and combine successfully to finally conceive a baby. On the contrary, if a woman does not ovulate or misses ovulation, then even more sperm and sexual intercourse will not achieve the purpose of conception. Since the survival time of male sperm is generally about 3 days, if intercourse is performed three days before the egg is released, the sperm may reach the female cervix and wait in advance, and then conception can take place after the female egg is released. Since the survival time of the egg is 1 to 3 days, that is to say, after the egg is released, within the next 3 days, the egg waits for the sperm to combine with it, and finally achieves the purpose of conception.

Which is more likely to lead to pregnancy, the ovulation period or the ovulation day?

For now, the probability of successful conception on the ovulation day is much higher than during the ovulation period. 1. In the days other than the ovulation day, the physiological environment of women is highly alkaline, which can easily kill sperm, especially Y chromosome sperm (this type of sperm can combine with the egg to give birth to a girl). Second, on the day of ovulation, the physiological environment of women is weakly alkaline. In such a physiological environment, the activity of sperm is very high, and the swimming speed of Y chromosome sperm at this time is 2 times higher than that of X chromosome sperm (this type of sperm combines with the egg to give birth to a girl). In other words, if you have sex on the day of ovulation, especially a few hours before and after the egg is discharged, the success rate of conception is very high. In addition, since the swimming speed of Y chromosome on the day of ovulation is higher than that of X chromosome sperm, the probability of giving birth to a son on this day will be much higher than before. Foreign scientists have conducted experiments and found that among women who had sex on the day of ovulation, 80% gave birth to male babies.

Which of the two, the ovulation period or the ovulation day, will give birth to a healthier child?

For now, having sex on the day of ovulation will result in healthier babies. Since intercourse occurs on the ovulation day, sperm and egg have just been discharged from the bodies of both sexes and are less exposed to external stimulation and influence, so the probability of a baby being born with deformities is reduced. (Of course, babies born without intercourse on the day of ovulation are generally very healthy, and the impact on the day of ovulation is relatively small).
