Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I haven't had my period regularly for the past few months. It has been two times a month for three months. The last two were on September 1st, which lasted for seven days, and the second was on September 15th, which lasted for nine days. After that, I got pregnant. I would like to ask, what are the days of my ovulation period? My period used to be every 30 days. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the determination of ovulation is generally calculated based on women with a normal menstrual cycle. A woman's ovulation date is usually around 14 days before the next menstrual period. After the egg is released from the ovary, it can survive in the fallopian tube for 1-2 days, waiting for fertilization. Male sperm can maintain fertilizing ability in a woman's reproductive tract for 2-3 days, so sexual intercourse during the days before and after ovulation increases the likelihood of conception. For safety, we consider the 5 days before ovulation, the ovulation day itself, and the 4 days after ovulation as a total of 10 days, which is called the fertile window. Because sexual intercourse during the fertile window increases the likelihood of conception, it is also referred to as the "dangerous period" or "high-risk period." Based on your description, it is generally difficult to determine it specifically.
