Patient's question:
I got married last year, and recently I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain. It's especially bad during my period, and I'm very worried it might affect fertility. Also, I'm extremely sensitive to cold and cold drafts. How can I accurately track my ovulation period?Doctor's answer:
Generally, the ovulation period is around the 14th day before the next menstrual period, with the possibility of ovulation in the three to four days before and after. This is considered the risky period, as the chances of pregnancy are higher during this time. The rest of the time is relatively safe.The pain may be due to the enlarged uterus during pregnancy pressing on the hip muscles and nerves. Resting in a left lateral position can help alleviate the pain. Additionally, calcium supplements like Caltrate can be taken to improve the condition.
