When is a woman's ovulation period?

A woman's ovulation period typically occurs around 14 days before the start of her next menstrual period. This phase represents the time when a woman's fertility is highest, as the ovaries release mature eggs ready for fertilization by sperm. The period spanning five days before ovulation, the day of ovulation itself, and four days afterward—a total of ten days—is referred to as the ovulation period. However, because a woman's menstrual cycle can vary due to various factors (such as stress, lifestyle, etc.), the ovulation period may also shift accordingly. To accurately determine their ovulation period, women can use methods such as ovulation test strips, monitoring basal body temperature, or undergoing ultrasound examinations.
