When does a woman usually ovulate?

Many women who are preparing for pregnancy will habitually calculate their ovulation period, or use test strips to check whether they are in the ovulation period, but they are not able to calculate it very well. Some women who do not want to get pregnant will also often calculate their ovulation period. So when is the ovulation period for women? What are the processes?

A woman will start ovulating after her first menstruation, which means she has the ability to get pregnant. However, the egg does not lose its vitality immediately after being released, but enters the fallopian tubes and can survive for 1-2 days. Then the possibility of egg cell and sperm fusion is relatively higher than usual, so this period is called ovulation period.

The time of a woman's ovulation period is closely related to her menstrual pattern. Generally speaking, a normal menstrual cycle is 28 days. If the menstrual period is very regular, once every 28 days, then the longest and shortest days of the menstrual cycle can be included in 28 days, and the ovulation period can be calculated as the 10th to 17th day of the menarche.

There are five main steps to calculate the ovulation period of women: First, determine which day to start calculating the ovulation period. The specific method can be to take a pen and record the situation of this menstruation on paper, or to use a mobile phone app to record, mainly recording the time of the first day of menstruation. Second, calculate the time of the next menarche. The date of the next menarche is the first day of this menarche plus 28 days of the normal menstrual cycle. Third, calculate the ovulation period. The ovulation period is 14 days after the next menarche. 14 days is calculated based on medical laws and is a fixed number that can be used directly.
