How do you calculate the ovulation date? Is it counted from the days when menstruation is almost over?
Women can calculate their ovulation date based on their menstrual cycle. This is not counted from the end of menstruation, but rather 14 days before the first day of the next menstrual period, or by subtracting 14 days from that date.
Ovulation refers to the process in which a mature follicle ruptures and releases a secondary oocyte, along with the zona pellucida, corona radiata, and follicular fluid, from the ovary. The ovary has reproductive, endocrine, and cyclical functions, and ovulation is an important phase within the ovarian cycle. Generally, in women with regular menstrual cycles, ovulation occurs 14 days before the first day of the next menstrual period. The ovulation period includes the two days before and after ovulation, as well as the day of ovulation itself, totaling five days. Women who are trying to conceive may increase their chances of pregnancy by having intercourse during this fertile window.
Women should maintain a light diet in daily life and avoid consuming raw, cold, greasy, or spicy foods such as ice cream, fatty meats, and hot pot. Regular physical activity, such as yoga or jogging, is also beneficial for overall health.
