Patient's question:
I get my period on the 4th of every month, with a cycle of 29-30 days. It's always very regular. Every time during ovulation, I can feel abdominal pain and have the characteristic cervical mucus of ovulation. On the 27th, I had sex with my husband, and the next day I noticed some stringy mucus discharge. The first one was dry and yellow, while the rest were like ovulation mucus. What's the problem? Could it be that ovulation is delayed? ?? (Additional: Last month I had vaginal itching, but it has been resolved after rinsing and medication. This month, during the days of ovulation, there was no mucus, only mild abdominal pain.)Doctor's answer:
First, I need to explain that ovulation is not closely related to your last menstrual period. More accurately, it is around 14 days before your next menstrual period. If you experienced ovulation 18 days after your last period, it depends on your usual menstrual cycle length. If your cycle is 18 + 14, which is around 32 days, then you are currently in your ovulation period. If you want to get pregnant, you can have intercourse on the 6th, and then again the next day or the day after for an additional attempt.
