How long after menstruation is the ovulation period?

Patient's question:

Today is the first day. My period usually lasts for 5 days, with a cycle of 25, 26 days. Treatment history and effectiveness: 4 months ago, I had a natural miscarriage. There were no problems with an ultrasound. What kind of help do you want: Could you please tell me which days this month are the days of ovulation?

Doctor's answer:

Female ovulation is influenced by the endocrine hormones of the pituitary gland and the ovaries, exhibiting cyclical changes. The lengths of both cycles are consistent, occurring once per month, with ovulation taking place between two menstrual periods. While women's menstrual cycles can vary in length, the interval between the day of ovulation and the start of the next menstrual period is relatively fixed, generally around 14 days. Based on this relationship between ovulation and menstruation, it is possible to calculate the ovulation period based on the menstrual cycle. The calculation method involves starting from the first day of the next menstrual period and counting backward 14 days or subtracting 14 days to determine the ovulation day. The days before and after the ovulation day, totaling 9 days (5 days before and 4 days after), are collectively referred to as the fertile window. This is also the theoretical basis for the safe period method of contraception, as the time outside of the menstrual period and the fertile window is considered the safe period.
