Ovulation period refers to the time period of about seven to eight days before and after the elimination of eggs by pregnant women. Generally speaking, if you have intercourse during ovulation, the chance of pregnancy is very high, and there is no need to have intercourse on ovulation day. Many women do not know when ovulation occurs and are asking if they can ovulate on the first day of ovulation? How to calculate ovulation period?
Can ovulation occur on the first day of the ovulation period
Ovulation period is a time period of about ten days, during which eggs can mature and ovulate at any time. So egg maturation does not occur on the first day of ovulation.
How to calculate ovulation period
Many female friends are planning to get pregnant. For them, in addition to taking good care of their own bodies, they should also master methods to improve their fertility rate. Generally speaking, having sex during ovulation can greatly increase their fertility rate. So, how to calculate a woman's ovulation period? Below are three methods for calculating a woman's ovulation period.
1. Observing cervical mucus
After menstruation is clean, the cervical mucus is often thick and small in amount, and there is even no mucus, which is called the "dry period", indicating a non ovulation period. In the middle of the menstrual cycle, with changes in the menstrual cycle, mucus increases and becomes thinner, and vaginal secretions increase, known as the "wet period". Approaching the ovulation period, the mucus becomes clear, smooth, and elastic, resembling egg white, with a high degree of stringiness and not easily broken. The last day ± 48 hours after the appearance of this mucus is the ovulation day. Therefore, when there is a feeling of wetness in the genital area, it is the ovulation period, also known as "easy pregnancy". Planned conception should be done during the 'wet period' before ovulation.
2. Menstrual period calculation method
For women with a normal menstrual cycle, the calculation method is to count from the first day of the next menstrual cycle, and subtract 14 days from the last 14 days to determine the ovulation day. The ovulation day, along with the first 5 days and the last 4 days, is called the ovulation period. For women with abnormal menstrual cycles, the first day of ovulation is equal to the shortest menstrual cycle minus 18 days; The last day of ovulation=the longest menstrual cycle minus 11 days.
3. Basal body temperature measurement method
The basal body temperature is measured before the body wakes up after a long period of sleep (usually in the early morning) and engages in any activity or speech. Under normal circumstances, the basal body temperature of women of childbearing age is lower in the first half of their menstrual cycle and during ovulation. It can suddenly or slowly increase by 0.3-0.6 ℃ within 24 hours to a few days after ovulation. Therefore, it is best to start measuring basal body temperature from the first day of menstruation, adhere to daily measurements, and record them with coordinate paper for observation and analysis.
