Therefore, every woman must correctly grasp her ovulation period. Let’s take a look at how to calculate the ovulation period and how to test the ovulation period.

How to calculate ovulation period

If women want to know when their ovulation period begins, the most basic prerequisite is that the menstrual cycle must be normal. The normal ovulation period is within a month between the two menstrual periods. If the menstrual period is not fixed, then the ovulation period is also not fixed. The start time of the ovulation period is generally calculated from the 14th day after the menstrual period. The first day of ovulation = the shortest menstrual cycle minus 18 days, and the last day of ovulation = the longest menstrual cycle minus 11 days.

Ovulation test method

1. Body temperature measurement method. During the ovulation period, women's body temperature will change. You can test your body temperature every morning. The temperature difference is generally around 0.5 degrees.

2. Cervical mucus measurement method. During the ovulation period, the cervix of a woman will discharge some mucus, and the vulva will become moist at this time. The mucus is generally transparent, can be pulled into threads, and is relatively viscous.

3. Test strip test method. Ovulation test strips are mainly for women with relatively regular menstrual cycles. Generally, the test can be started three days before ovulation. The method is very simple. Just follow the instructions for the test. If the result is two red bars, it means that the ovulation period has begun on this day and a half.
