Does ovulation bleeding mean ovulation?

Many mothers-in-law are eager to have grandchildren, and their repeated urging will inevitably increase the psychological pressure on young couples who are preparing for pregnancy. Recently, a netizen named "Angel" sent a letter for help. Although she has only been married for 4 months, she is still struggling with not getting pregnant. In addition, she has some doubts about ovulation and ovulation bleeding, and wants to know if there is any way to make it easier for her to conceive.

Letter from netizen "Angel":

Hello! I am 25 years old and have been married for four months, but I have not gotten pregnant yet. I am very anxious. I have ovulation bleeding every month, usually for six or seven days, so I am very afraid that I will not be able to get pregnant because of this. I would like to ask:

1. Does bleeding during ovulation mean that ovulation has occurred?

2. How to make it easier to conceive?

reply:

Dear Angie,

First of all, I want to tell you that you don't need to rush to get pregnant. First, you are not too old, only 25 years old. Think about Andy Lau's wife Zhu Liqian, she can still have children at that age! Second, you have only been married for 4 months, many couples have been preparing for pregnancy for years! Haha, so the first thing you should do is to calm down and don't be too anxious.

Now let me discuss with you in detail about ovulation bleeding and how to get pregnant more easily!

1. Does bleeding during ovulation mean ovulation?

(1) What are the normal physiological phenomena during ovulation?

The ovulation period is the most fertile period for women, which corresponds to the so-called "safe period". During the ovulation period, people may have a significant decrease in appetite, high energy, a love of self-expression, a high libido, and an increase in vaginal discharge. However, ovulation bleeding does not happen to everyone. It should be said that only a few people will experience ovulation bleeding.

(2) What is ovulation bleeding?

Ovulation bleeding is caused by a temporary drop in estrogen levels, which causes the endometrium to lose hormonal support and partially shed, which then triggers regular vaginal bleeding. Of course, this is normal. Another reason is that if there is chronic inflammation of the endometrium, the endometrium will be significantly congested during ovulation, or when ovulation occurs, the blood vessels on the surface of the ovary happen to rupture, which will cause ovulation bleeding.

Ovulation bleeding is similar to menstruation, and is sometimes accompanied by abdominal pain and other symptoms. However, the amount of bleeding during ovulation is relatively small, and sometimes it is only brown discharge. Generally speaking, ovulation bleeding can stop on its own after 2-3 days, and can last up to 7 days.

If you bleed every time and each time it lasts for six or seven days, does this mean you have "two periods in a month"? It is recommended that you have your uterus checked to see if there is any inflammation in the endometrium. If the test results are normal, you don't need to worry too much.

(3) How do you know if you have ovulated?

Ovulation bleeding is divided into two types: ovulation bleeding and anovulation bleeding. Therefore, ovulation bleeding does not necessarily mean ovulation, and ovulation does not necessarily mean bleeding. Similarly, ovulation bleeding does not necessarily mean ovulation day.

If you have ovulation bleeding, as long as the amount of bleeding is not too heavy, you can still have sex and it is easy to get pregnant.

So how do you know whether you have ovulated? Xingyuncao suggests that you can use ovulation test strips and measure the basal body temperature. If there are obvious low temperature areas and high temperature areas, it means that you have ovulated and there should be no big problem. If the body temperature is always one-way, it means that you have not ovulated, and it is recommended to see a doctor.

However, the test strips and basal body temperature are sometimes affected by other factors. You can also go to the hospital to use B-ultrasound to monitor the follicles to see when they mature and when they ovulate.
