Every healthy woman will release one or two precious eggs during ovulation, and having sex with her husband during this period will also increase the chances of pregnancy. So it is still necessary for us to know our ovulation period. It is not difficult to know the ovulation period, and there are many calculation methods that can help everyone. So, how to calculate the accurate time of ovulation period?
1. Basal body temperature measurement method
The body temperature of healthy individuals may undergo subtle changes at different times, while the body temperature of adult women may fluctuate with the menstrual cycle, especially on ovulation days, which can be estimated by measuring basal body temperature. The specific method is to measure one's sublingual temperature with a thermometer as soon as they wake up in the morning for several consecutive days, and then record it. Generally speaking, women's body temperature fluctuates less before ovulation. On ovulation day, their basal body temperature suddenly decreases, and after ovulation day, their body temperature rises again, until the temperature drops again during menstruation.
2. Ovulation pain perception method
Some women may feel a slight pain in one side of their lower abdomen on a certain day between their menstrual periods, but it will pass after a period of time and there are no abnormalities in their physical examination. This is likely to be ovulation pain, mainly caused by the ovulation process, which can accurately calculate the ovulation date.
3. Menstrual cycle calculation method
Calculating ovulation period based on one's own menstrual cycle is the simplest and most feasible approach. The calculation formula is: the first day of ovulation=the shortest menstrual cycle minus 18 days, and the last day of ovulation=the longest menstrual cycle minus 11 days. The calculation method is based on the first day of menstruation and calculates the number of days backwards. For example, if a woman's menstrual cycle in the previous few months was the longest at 30 days and the shortest at 28 days, then the first day of ovulation=28 days minus 18 days=10 days, and the last day of ovulation=30 days minus 11 days=19 days. This means that her ovulation period is on the 10th day of this menstrual cycle, and the last day is on the 19th day of this menstrual cycle.
4. Cervical mucus observation method
The changes in hormones in women's bodies during ovulation can affect many aspects of the body. In order to create a better environment for the combination of sperm and eggs, women's secretions will also change accordingly. The main manifestation is an increase in cervical mucus, which is clear and transparent, and can be felt as a pulling sensation when touched with fingers. Generally speaking, when this characteristic is most prominent, it is the ovulation period.
5. Ovulation test strip detection method
Nowadays, besides early pregnancy test strips, ovulation test strips may be the most commonly used by women. Due to its easy operation, it gives hope to many women. The test strip will gradually show weak positive and strong positive characteristics. However, compared to early pregnancy test strips, ovulation test strips need to be used strictly according to the instructions, and in order to accurately calculate the results, it is best to keep all test strips within one cycle for color contrast and determine the accurate time. Additionally, it should be noted that this test strip is different from early pregnancy test strips and cannot be used for morning urination.
The above is the encyclopedia's introduction on how to calculate the accurate time of ovulation period. Only by clearly knowing the time of one's ovulation period can one conceive more quickly. No matter if your menstrual cycle is accurate or not, you can calculate your ovulation date through the above methods. I hope this article can be helpful to everyone.
