What help is needed: How to determine ovulation
Doctor's answer:
Hello, the ovulation period is approximately 14 days before the next menstrual period. On this day, an egg is released. The egg can survive for 1 to 2 days, while sperm can survive in the uterus for 2 to 3 days, losing the ability to fertilize the egg after this period. Therefore, we refer to the 5 days before and 4 days after the ovulation day as the fertile window, during which sexual intercourse increases the chances of pregnancy. Many people have issues with ovulation test strips not detecting a peak, which is mainly related to the usage method and measurement time. Currently, effective methods include ultrasound monitoring, or for women with regular menstrual cycles, it is recommended to have 2 to 3 sexual encounters per week. As long as there is ovulation, there is generally an opportunity, and it is not necessary to monitor ovulation.
