How many days after the menstrual period is the ovulation period?

Everyone knows that although women's menstrual periods change irregularly every month, and each woman's menstrual changes are different, women's ovulation period does not change. Under normal circumstances, starting from the first day of a woman's menstruation, the 14th to 16th day is the woman's ovulation period. Knowing women's ovulation period has great benefits for pregnancy preparation and contraception.

1. The safe period is the seven days before and eight days after menstruation. However, this is just a general rule. Generally speaking, the safe period before ovulation is 7 days and the safe period after ovulation is 8 days. If your menstrual cycle has been 28 days for a long time, you can treat it according to the first seven and the last eight, because this will avoid the 10-day dangerous period.

2. For a woman who often has short cycles, such as a 21-day cycle, the ovulation day is probably on the 7th day. At this time, there is no safe period before ovulation, because the minimum reserved period before ovulation may occur at any time just after the menstruation ends. For such women, there may be a risk of pregnancy even if their menstruation has just ended.

3. For a woman who often has a long cycle, such as a cycle of 35 days, the ovulation day is probably on the 21st day. The delayed ovulation at this time makes it impossible to determine the safe period after ovulation.

4. The method of calculating the ovulation period is: start counting from the first day of the next menstruation, and count down 14 days or subtract 14 days, which is the normal ovulation day of women. Then add the ovulation day and the 5 days before and 4 days after it together, which is called the female ovulation period. If female friends want to get pregnant as soon as possible, they must clearly calculate their ovulation period. Only in this way can they conceive and have a baby normally.

What are the symptoms of ovulation?

1. Anal swelling or lower abdominal pain on one side

When a mature egg is discharged from the surface of the ovary, it will break through a thin membrane follicle on the surface of the egg. A small amount of fluid in the follicle will flow into the pelvic cavity. Women will feel a slight feeling of falling in the anus and slight pain in one side of the lower abdomen.

2. Ovulation bleeding and temperature rise

Due to the fluctuation of estrogen secretion in the body before and after ovulation, a small amount of uterine bleeding may occur. At the same time, the body temperature rises slightly after ovulation. If you can measure the basal body temperature every morning, you can find the ovulation date based on the changes in body temperature.

3. Increased vaginal discharge

During ovulation, the amount of secretions increases significantly and becomes watery, transparent and clear. Women will feel their vulva is moist and slippery, and the secretions are very stringy. This increase in vaginal discharge usually lasts for 2-3 days, which is the time when women are most likely to conceive.
