How to determine ovulation period?

Ovulation is a physiological process that every healthy woman goes through. If a woman's menstruation is normal, she will ovulate in every menstrual cycle. Most ovulations occur about 14 days before the next menstrual period. The chances of a woman getting pregnant during her ovulation period are relatively high, so female friends who want to have a baby are very concerned about their ovulation period. But how to determine the ovulation period? The following is a detailed answer from experts.

Ovulation is the process by which the egg cell and the surrounding cumulus granulosa cells are discharged together. It is a physiological process that all normal women go through. Women with normal menstruation generally ovulate in each menstrual cycle, and ovulation usually occurs around 14 days before the next menstrual period.

Many women, especially those with infertility, pay special attention to whether they ovulate. In fact, ovulation can be felt. Its performance is as follows:

1. Anal distension or pain in one side of the lower abdomen: The mature egg is discharged from the surface of the ovary and has to break through the follicle that wraps the surface of the egg. A small amount of fluid in the follicle will flow into the lowest part of the pelvic cavity. Women will feel a slight feeling of distension in the anus and slight pain in one side of the lower abdomen.

2. Ovulation bleeding and temperature rise: The ovaries are responsible for the secretion of female endocrine hormones. Therefore, due to the fluctuation of estrogen secretion in the body before and after ovulation, a small amount of uterine bleeding may occur, which is called ovulation bleeding. After ovulation, due to the secretion of progesterone, the body temperature will rise slightly. If you can measure your basal body temperature every morning, you can find out your ovulation date based on the changes in body temperature.

3. Increased vaginal secretions: Before ovulation, women have less vaginal secretions, which are sticky and opaque. As ovulation approaches, vaginal secretions gradually increase and become thin and milky white. During ovulation, the amount of secretions increases significantly and becomes watery, transparent and clear. Women will feel their vulva is wet and slippery, and when they wipe it with toilet paper, there will be egg white-like strips of mucus. This increase in vaginal secretions in women usually lasts for 2 to 3 days, which is the time when women are most likely to get pregnant.

The above is all about how to determine the ovulation period. I believe that through the above introduction, everyone should be able to accurately determine the ovulation period. Experts remind that if a woman's ovulation is abnormal, it will directly affect her ability to have a baby. Therefore, if abnormal ovulation occurs, it is best to go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.
