Patient's question:
My menstrual cycle is irregular, usually coming 3 to 6 days earlier than expected. My period started on the 15th of this month. When should my ovulation period be? I had sex this morning. Could I be pregnant?Doctor's answer:
The day of ovulation is generally 14 days before the next menstrual period, and the week surrounding the day of ovulation is considered the fertile window. Based on your description, the day of ovulation should be around the 25th to 29th of this month. If you had intercourse today without using contraception, there is a possibility of pregnancy. It is recommended that if your next menstrual period is delayed by more than one week, you should have your blood hCG checked at the hospital. If it shows a significant decline, the likelihood of pregnancy is very high. The recurrence of gynecological diseases poses a serious threat to women's health. Patients need to pay attention to follow-up examinations after menstruation in their daily lives, maintain a light diet, and avoid spicy foods to prevent irritation.
