Introduction
Under normal circumstances, "dà yī ma" refers to menstruation. A few days after the menstrual period, a woman is more likely to become pregnant, mainly depending on her menstrual cycle. If a woman has a regular menstrual cycle of about 28 days, she is typically more fertile 7 to 14 days after her period starts. If her menstrual cycle is irregular, it is usually difficult to predict exactly how many days after menstruation she is more likely to become pregnant. During the preconception period, both partners should maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Generally speaking, "daima" refers to menstruation, and pregnancy means conception. A few days after the menstrual period are more likely to result in pregnancy, which mainly depends on the woman's menstrual cycle. If a woman has a regular menstrual cycle of about 28 days, she is more likely to get pregnant 7 to 14 days after her menstrual period ends. If the menstrual cycle is irregular, it is usually difficult to predict exactly how many days after the period it is easier to become pregnant. The detailed explanation is as follows:
If a woman's menstrual cycle lasts about 28 days, ovulation usually occurs approximately 14 days before the next menstrual period begins. This day is called the ovulation day, and the five days before ovulation day and the four days after are referred to as the ovulation period. During the ovulation period, the egg may have matured and been released, waiting to combine with sperm. Therefore, around 7 to 14 days after the menstrual period—in other words, during the ovulation period—it is easier to become pregnant.
If a woman has an irregular menstrual cycle, the timing of ovulation may also be inconsistent. Therefore, it becomes difficult to accurately determine how many days after the menstrual period it is easier to become pregnant. In such cases, methods such as observing cervical mucus characteristics, monitoring basal body temperature, or using ovulation test strips can help predict the timing of ovulation and thus increase the chances of conception.
During the preconception period, both partners should maintain a healthy lifestyle, including balanced nutrition, appropriate exercise, and a positive mental state.
