Women have an ovulation period every month and will release eggs. Women who want to prepare for pregnancy may consider having sex after the eggs have matured and grown up to increase their chances of conception. So, what is the age of the egg to be considered mature and released?
How old is the egg to be considered mature and released
Every month, women only have one mature egg released, and this mature egg is generally considered mature when it is above 20um. However, there are individual differences. Some people release eggs when their follicles grow to 15um, while others release eggs when they grow to 25um. For individual situations, one cycle of ultrasound examination can be done. Generally, mature follicles are discharged within one to two days, and discharged follicles can survive for two days.
Medically, follicular development is divided into 8 levels, with the first five levels being too small and taking too long to grow, lacking practical significance. The diameter of the 6th grade follicle is 5mm; After 5 days, it grew to 10mm and became the 7th grade follicle; After another 5 days of development, it reaches the 8th level follicle with a diameter of 16mm; The 8th level follicle is a mature follicle. So, it takes a total of 10 days for the 6th follicle to grow up to the 8th follicle, which happens to be the follicular phase of a menstrual cycle. Starting from 16mm, after 2-3 days, it will develop into 20mm follicles and the egg will be released.
How long does it take for mature eggs to be released during sexual intercourse
After the follicle matures, it is the ovulation period for women. The ovulation period is the best time for women. The survival time of the egg after ovulation is 48 hours. Generally, sexual intercourse within 24 hours after ovulation is the best, but it is best to do so within 12 hours, as the probability is higher. Moreover, male sperm can survive for 5 to 6 days.
How do you know if the egg has been released
During the ovulation period, body temperature may increase compared to before, but due to the significant influence of external factors on body temperature, it is generally impossible to detect changes in body temperature without relying on a thermometer and long-term measurement.
During ovulation, there is a noticeable feeling of anal prolapse or pain in one side of the lower abdomen. Mature eggs are released from the surface of the ovary through follicles that break through a thin membrane on the surface of the egg. A small amount of fluid inside the follicles flows into the pelvic cavity, causing a mild sensation of anal prolapse and mild pain in one side of the lower abdomen.
The amount of secretion during ovulation will also significantly increase, and it will appear transparent and clear like a water sample. You will feel that the genital area is moist and slippery, and the secretion has a high degree of stringiness. The increase in vaginal discharge usually lasts for 2-3 days, which is the best time for artificial growth!
Each woman has a different ovulation period and egg size. If you want to conceive and have a baby, both parties can try having sex during the woman's ovulation period, which increases the chances of successful pregnancy!
