Patient's question:
According to the method for calculating ovulation provided by the doctor on the website, it is as follows: Count back 14 days from the first day of your next menstrual period. The day itself plus the previous 3 days and the following 3 days constitute the fertile window, while the rest of the time is considered the safe period. If your period starts on the 16th, ovulation should likely occur around the 2nd or 3rd of the month, with the highest probability. The same logic applies. Sperm typically takes about 7 days to mature, so it is advisable not to have too frequent sexual intercourse before conception, as this increases the chances of pregnancy. However, it is also important not to have it for too long, as sperm can become. If this is the case, the fertile window would be from the 30th of last month to the 6th of this month, making it the most likely time to conceive, right? It was mentioned that sperm can survive for 7 days, but I don't understand.Doctor's answer:
Hello; Pregnancy, excessive mental stress, or the use of certain medications that delay menstruation can cause menstrual delay. In addition, the main reasons for menstrual delay include blood deficiency, lack of nourishment, cold stagnation in meridians, and blockages such as qi stagnation, blood stasis, phlegm-dampness in the body. Generally, a menstrual cycle delay of about one week is still within the normal range.
