The innate task of women is to have children. After reaching a certain age, women have the ability to conceive, and if they engage in sexual activity during ovulation, they may become pregnant. So calculating the ovulation period is very important for women. If they want to have children, they should have sex during ovulation. If they don't want to get pregnant, they need to use contraception during ovulation. So how to calculate ovulation period most accurately?
How to calculate ovulation period based on menstrual cycle
The length of each person's menstrual cycle varies, and the period from the end of menstruation to ovulation is called the "follicular phase". That is, the follicle grows and matures, and the mature egg (some people even sometimes release two or more) will be released. The period from ovulation to the next menstrual cycle is called the "luteal phase". The length of the follicular phase varies, which means that the maturation time required for each person's egg is different. The luteal phase is generally 14 days, and progesterone promotes thickening of the endometrium before the fertilized egg can implant. Therefore, a luteal phase that is too short or too long is not easy to conceive.
Therefore, generally speaking, menstruation will begin after the luteal phase ends 14 days after ovulation. Otherwise, it may be due to hormonal issues or other factors, and it is best to see a doctor.
So a formula can be derived to calculate the ovulation period based on the menstrual cycle: ovulation day=current menstrual day+(menstrual cycle days -14 days)
If your menstrual cycle is 28 days, then around the 14th day after the end of this cycle is roughly your ovulation day, and the 14th day after ovulation is the next menstrual cycle. If the menstrual cycle is 40 days, the ovulation day will be around the 26th day after the end of this menstrual cycle.
So the calculation of ovulation day is not from the 14th day of this menstrual cycle, unless your menstrual cycle happens to be 28 days! But it is necessary to calculate the next menstrual cycle based on the number of days in the menstrual cycle, and then push back 14 days from the next menstrual cycle to determine ovulation day. However, the above are the most common situations, and there are also people who are quite different but can still conceive. Anyway, it is important to understand one's own physical condition, know oneself and know the enemy, and win a hundred battles!
In addition, eggs can survive for 1-2 days, and sperm can survive for 3 days. Therefore, the possibility of successful conception is relatively high in the three days before and after ovulation. Friends who are preparing for pregnancy should work hard in these days!
Another algorithm for ovulation period is ovulation day -5 days or ovulation day+3 days (or+4 days), which expands the range a bit. After all, the body is not always on time. Friends who want to get pregnant as soon as possible can work harder if they have time and energy!
