How many days before and after ovulation is it easy to get pregnant?

The ovulation period is fourteen days after a woman's menstrual period each month. If sexual intercourse occurs during the ovulation period, the chances of pregnancy will be higher. Couples who plan to get pregnant can choose to have sex after the woman ovulates. However, the ovulation period of some people is not very accurate. So how can we know whether we are in the ovulation period and how many days before and after the ovulation period is it easy to get pregnant?

It is easy to get pregnant a few days before and after ovulation

For a woman to successfully become pregnant, an egg must be released into the body, and the egg and sperm must meet and fuse successfully to finally conceive a baby. On the contrary, if a woman does not ovulate or misses the ovulation period, then no matter how many sperms and sexual intercourse there are, pregnancy cannot be achieved. Since the survival time of male sperm is generally about 3 days, if you have sex three days before the egg is released, the male sperm may reach the female cervix and wait in advance. At this time, the female egg can be pregnant after it is released.

Because the survival time of the egg cell is 1 to 3 days, in other words, after the egg cell is discharged, within the next 3 days, the egg cell waits for the sperm to fuse with it, and finally achieves the purpose of pregnancy.

The calculation method of ovulation period is as follows

1. Cervical mucus method: In the hospital's gynecology department, the cervical mucus is checked to determine whether the woman is in the ovulation period.

2. Ovulation temperature method: Measure your body temperature every morning after waking up. Under normal circumstances, your body temperature is lower in the first half of your period, and even lower during the ovulation period, and will slowly rise after the ovulation period.

3. Menstrual period calculation method: Many women do not know when their ovulation period is. Use the following formula to calculate it after a period of testing, and it is very easy to calculate. The calculation method is: the first day of ovulation: the number of days in the menstrual cycle minus 18 days; the last day of ovulation: the number of days in the menstrual cycle minus 11 days.

Accurately calculating a woman's ovulation period will make it easier to get pregnant, but it does not mean that you will get pregnant if you have sex after ovulation. Pregnancy also requires a lot of preparation. The couple should eat more pregnancy-promoting foods, maintain a good quality of sleep and a regular schedule, and avoid an environment exposed to alcohol and tobacco. In the near future, a healthy baby will be born.
