How many days does ovulation usually last?

Women's ovulation period is a very important issue. Many people cannot get pregnant because of inaccurate ovulation period. This is a very important issue and is caused by various reasons. So how many days does the ovulation period last? Many people are not clear about it. Let me give you a detailed introduction below.

1. Two commonly used algorithms for ovulation

1. The 14 days before a woman's next menstrual period is also called the ovulation day. The 4 days before ovulation and the 5 days after ovulation add up to a total of ten days. In other words, a woman's ovulation period is generally about 10 days. This is a more commonly used algorithm.

2. This algorithm is suitable for women with irregular menstruation. The menstrual cycle is unstable, and the formula for calculating the ovulation period is: the first day of ovulation = the number of days in the shortest menstrual cycle minus 18 days; the last day of ovulation = the number of days in the longest menstrual cycle minus 11 days. For example, the shortest menstrual period is 28 days and the longest is 37 days. The shortest regular period is subtracted by 18 (28-18=10) and the longest regular period is subtracted by 11 (37-11=26). Therefore, the ovulation period is from the 10th day to the 26th day after the menstrual period. Then the ovulation period of this algorithm is as long as 16 days, and the error is relatively large.

How many days does the ovulation period last? Here, we introduce 2 methods to calculate the ovulation period for everyone to understand first. So, how many days is the ovulation period? In fact, the ovulation period of each woman is different, some are longer, and some are slightly shorter. What we really want to tell you here is what is the more effective ovulation period, that is, how long is the time that can lead to conception.

2. First of all, we need to know how long the egg can survive?

1. If a woman's egg is not released, pregnancy is impossible even if there are many sperms. Therefore, it is more meaningful to start counting from the moment the egg is released. Generally, the survival time of female eggs can reach up to 72 hours, or 3 days, which is a very long survival time. The shortest survival time of an egg is generally 12 hours, or 0.5 days. The normal survival time of an egg is about 24 to 28 hours. Then, the survival time range of the egg is: 0.5-3 days.

2. Secondly, we need to know how long the male sperm can survive in the female body.

After a man's sperm is discharged from the body, it can generally survive in the body for about 3 days. The longest record is 5 days, and the shortest is generally about 1 day. Because the number of sperm is relatively large, there is no need to be very strict about pursuing the longest and shortest sperm ejaculation time. Then the survival time of sperm is: 1-5 days. Well, since sperm can survive for 5 days, that means sperm can enter the female body and wait 5 days before the egg is released. If a woman has sex again within 3 days after the egg is released, then these 3 days can also be considered the effective conception time. The longest conception time interval is: 5+3=8 days. Since the shortest survival time of an egg is 0.5 days, the shortest conception interval is also 0.5 days.

In other words, the effective pregnancy time range for women is: (0.5 days < effective ovulation period < 8 days).

How many days does ovulation last? The above introduces the time of ovulation. Generally, conception is most guaranteed during the ovulation period. Of course, it varies from person to person. Accidents are also common because everyone's situation is different. If there is any abnormal ovulation, you must go to the hospital for treatment in time.
