Women who are actively preparing for pregnancy are most concerned about when they reach ovulation. Only by understanding their ovulation period can they grasp the best timing for pregnancy. So, how do you calculate your ovulation period? To help you, let's introduce how to calculate your ovulation period.
How to calculate your ovulation period?
1、 Urimetry
Pregnant women can use a urine test to test their ovulation period. Combined with the menstrual cycle of the previous month, urine H should be measured two days before you are about to ovulate. The time interval between the start of the test may be very large. When there is an upward trend in urine L, you will frequently increase the number of tests, monitoring every 2 to 4 hours, the results will be more accurate, and it is also the fastest method for self inspection.
2、 Aquino method
The Aquino method is a mathematical formula that starts from the last day of the menstrual cycle, pushing the time to 14-15 days is your ovulation date.
3、 Cervical mucus method
Cervical mucus will appear during a woman's menstrual cycle and undergo different changes at different stages. At the end of the menstrual cycle, there will be an increase in secretion, with a thinner and more transparent color, resembling egg white. At the peak of ovulation, mucus secretion will be the highest. This time, you can determine that the possibility of ovulation is the highest. After ovulation, mucus secretion will gradually decrease and become very cloudy.
4、 Basal body temperature method
Basic body temperature refers to testing one's body temperature in the most calm state of mind and body every morning after waking up. When you are in the physiological period, your basic body temperature will undergo periodic changes. After the physiological period, your body temperature will increase by 0.3-0.5 ℃. This state will continue until 1-2 days before menstruation or the first day of menstruation. Normal ovulating women should continue to have a temperature increase for 12-14 days. When your basic body temperature rises 2-3 days before and after, it indicates that you are more likely to conceive during the ovulation period.
How to calculate the ovulation period most accurately?
1. Inferring ovulation period through menstrual cycle records
The menstrual cycle of women worldwide is 21-35 days, with an average of 28 days. Generally speaking, as long as the menstrual cycle is normal, the luteal phase after ovulation is relatively fixed, with a duration of 12-16 days, with an average of 14 days; Before ovulation, we call it the follicular phase. Due to the highly inconsistent length of the cycle, the luteal phase after ovulation is basically the same, lasting 14 days. Therefore, in a normal menstrual cycle, your cycle is 21 days, and ovulation may occur on the 6th and 7th days of the cycle. If your menstrual cycle is 35 days, ovulation may occur on the 20th or 21st day.
