How many days after menstruation is considered the ovulation period?

Patient's question:

I am 27 years old, and now I and my husband are trying to conceive. The doctor suggested that we have intercourse during the ovulation period to increase the chances of pregnancy. Could you please tell me how many days after menstruation is the ovulation period?

Doctor's answer:

The ovulation period is approximately fourteen days before the next menstrual period. This method is only applicable to women with relatively stable menstrual cycles, as women in the ovulation period may experience a rise in body temperature of about 0.3℃ to 0.5℃. If your menstrual cycle is irregular or you have menstrual disorders, it is recommended that you first address the issue of menstrual disorders before trying to conceive. Patients should develop good daily habits, maintain a regular sleep schedule, avoid smoking and alcohol, and increase physical exercise to enhance their immunity and prevent recurrence of the condition.
