As is well known, having sex during ovulation is the easiest time to conceive. So, couples who are preparing for pregnancy are constantly monitoring their ovulation period, seizing the opportunity to have sex, afraid of missing the ovulation period. So how many days is the ovulation period? Many young couples may not be particularly clear about this issue, so let's learn about it together with Baike today.
The survival time of eggs
Experts say that for women of normal childbearing age, their ovaries only release one egg per month. After being released, eggs can survive for about 1-2 days. Sperm can survive in the female reproductive tract for about 2-3 days. For fertilization ability, it generally exists within 24 hours after ovulation. If it exceeds 2-3 days, the sperm will lose the ability to bind with the egg. Therefore, engaging in sexual activity 2-3 days before ovulation and 1-2 days after ovulation can lead to conception. This period is called the easy pregnancy or high-risk period.
How many days is the ovulation period for women?
Ovulation date: About 14 days before the next menstrual period. Add the first 5 days and last 4 days of ovulation day to the ovulation day. A total of 10 days. These 10 days are called ovulation period. The rest of the time except for the menstrual period is called the safe period.
Calculation method for ovulation period
1. Cervical mucus method: It mainly checks the cervical mucus of women to determine whether they are in ovulation period.
2. Body temperature method: Women can measure their body temperature every morning after waking up. In general, their body temperature is lower during the first half of their menstrual cycle, and lower during ovulation. After ovulation, their body temperature gradually increases.
However, ovulation is influenced by emotions and environment, so whether using ovulation to conceive or contraception, it is important to pay attention to this.
