After the end of menstruation, a woman's body enters another cycle of fertility. After menstruation, a woman's uterus begins to actively prepare for the next pregnancy. Many women do not know how to calculate the optimal time for conception, and there are also many women who want to know the optimal time for conception. So how is the best time to conceive after menstruation calculated?
1、 Calculate ovulation period
If your menstrual cycle is very regular, you can roughly calculate the ovulation day and plan to have sex before and after ovulation. Calculate the possible date of your next menstrual cycle and then reverse it to 16 days, which is your approximate ovulation date.
Taking the 30 day menstrual cycle as an example: the first day of menstruation, the 15th to 19th day of ovulation, and the day before the next menstrual cycle on the 30th day;
This is the most commonly known method, but many people are not very clear about it.
2、 Basal body temperature measurement method
The basal body temperature of normal women shows periodic changes during the menstrual cycle, and ovulation generally occurs before or during the process of rising from low to high basal body temperature. The increase in basal body temperature after ovulation indicates that ovulation has occurred. The first 3 days when the basal temperature is at an elevated level are referred to as' easy pregnancy '. The increase in body temperature is generally between 0.3 ℃ and 0 ℃.
This method can indicate that ovulation has occurred, but cannot predict when ovulation will occur.
3、 Cervical mucus observation method
Generally, women with normal menstrual cycles will feel a "dry period" in the genital area after menstruation, followed by a "wet period", followed by a "dry period" and the next menstrual cycle. The so-called "wetness" here refers to the sensation of wetness in the genital area produced by cervical mucus originating from the vagina.
Before and after the menstrual period, mucus is often thick and the amount is small, even without any mucus at all. In the middle of the menstrual cycle, mucus becomes thinner and more abundant, approaching ovulation and becoming clearer and more transparent, resembling egg white in shape, and rich in elasticity. It has the highest degree of elasticity and smoothness. The last day when this mucus appears is called the "peak day", and ovulation occurs between 48 hours before and after it. Therefore, engaging in sexual activity during the "wet period" before ovulation and within 3 days after the peak day is prone to pregnancy.
These three methods all have some inaccuracies, so combining them, it is estimated that on that day, you will definitely be able to conceive your own baby. Before ovulation, there should be a plan to reduce the frequency of sexual intercourse to ensure the quantity and quality of sperm. During the ovulation period, various conditions should be considered comprehensively, because after the egg is released, it can generally only survive for 12-24 hours, and sperm in the female reproductive tract can usually only survive for 1-3 days. Therefore, generally speaking, it is easiest to conceive from 3 days before ovulation to 1 day after ovulation, and having sex too early or too late is not easy to conceive.
Through the introduction in this article, it can be known that there are many methods for calculating the optimal time for conception after menstruation. If you want to calculate your own optimal time for conception, it is best to combine these methods to accurately calculate the optimal time for conception.
