How to calculate the ovulation date—does it start from the day when menstruation is almost over?
Generally, the ovulation period refers to the 14th day after the end of menstruation, which is considered the ovulation day.
Ovulation day specifically refers to the time when the egg is released. To determine a woman's ovulation day, count backwards 14 days from the first day of her next menstrual cycle. The 10-day fertile window includes the 5 days before ovulation and the 4 days after.
Signs of ovulation may include a drop in body temperature, abnormal vaginal discharge, spotting, and abdominal pain. For those trying to conceive, it is recommended to have intercourse the day before or on the day of ovulation to increase the chances of pregnancy. However, since menstrual cycles vary among women, the exact timing of the ovulation period should be confirmed at a reputable medical facility using ultrasound examinations to avoid inaccuracies.
During this period, it is important to stay relaxed and avoid excessive mental stress, prolonged sleep deprivation, and exposure to electronic devices that emit radiation, such as mobile phones, computers, and televisions. Additionally, heavy drinking and smoking should be avoided.
