Patient's question:
I have always had a regular menstrual cycle. My last period started on November 17th and ended by November 21st. From November 28th to 30th, my basal body temperature was 0.2 degrees higher than usual. It had been around 36.2-36.4 degrees in the recent days, but on November 28th to 30th, it was 36.5 degrees and remained stable for two consecutive days. Additionally, on November 29th and 30th, my cervical mucus was stringy. My husband and I have been abstaining from sexual intercourse for six days to try to conceive, and on the evening of November 30th, we had sexual intercourse for the first time, which was also the first time we experienced a significant amount of semen. About two to three hours later, we had sexual intercourse again, but the second time...Doctor's answer:
The ovulation period is approximately 14 days before the next menstrual period, when 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. After this period, the ability to fertilize the egg diminishes. In the case of a regular menstrual cycle, the ovulation period is the 5 days before and 4 days after the 14th day before the next menstrual period. You can calculate your own ovulation period based on your menstrual cycle. During the ovulation period, have intercourse every other day to increase the chances of pregnancy. You can have intercourse tonight and then every other day until the ovulation period ends.
