How to calculate ovulation period
A woman\’s ovulation period is the key to pregnancy, so it is very important to know your own ovulation period. So, how to calculate your ovulation period?
1. Calendar method
The calendar method is one of the simplest methods. A woman\’s ovulation period is usually the 14th day of her monthly menstrual cycle, so you only need to know the time of your last menstrual period and add 14 days to calculate the ovulation period. For example, if your last period started on January 1st, then ovulation will be around January 14th.
2. Body temperature method
Thermometry requires women to measure their basal body temperature every morning and record the data. Before ovulation, a woman\’s basal body temperature will be slightly lower than usual, but it will suddenly increase by 0.5-1℃ after ovulation. Therefore, when the basal body temperature rises and remains for a period of time, the arrival of ovulation can be determined.
3. Calculation method
The calculation method is to use the length of the menstrual cycle in the past three months and the first day of the last menstrual period to calculate the ovulation period. The calculation formula is: ovulation day = shortest menstrual cycle – 18, ovulation day = longest menstrual cycle – 10, because the ovulation period is in the middle of the shortest and longest menstrual cycle.
4. Ovulation test strip method
The ovulation test paper method uses ovulation test paper to detect the level of luteinizing hormone in urine to predict the ovulation period. When luteinizing hormone levels increase, the symbol on the test strip changes, indicating that ovulation is approaching.
The importance of ovulation
Ovulation is a critical period for planning pregnancy and preventing unwanted pregnancies. For couples who want to get pregnant, determining a woman\’s ovulation period can improve the success rate of pregnancy; while for women who don\’t want to get pregnant, they need to avoid the ovulation period to avoid the risk of unwanted pregnancy. In addition, the ovulation period is also closely related to women\’s physical health. Some studies show that ovulation can promote a woman\’s physical health and reduce the risk of a range of diseases, such as breast and ovarian cancer.
