Patient's question:
Hello, doctors! I am a married woman with one year of marriage, and I currently want to have a baby. My menstrual period always comes on the 11th of every month. Could you please tell me which days of the month are the best for me to get pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the ovulation period is calculated starting from the first day of the next menstrual period. Counting backwards 14 days or subtracting 14 days gives the ovulation day. The period from 5 days before the ovulation day to 4 days after it is called the ovulation period. If the menstrual cycle is irregular, the formula for calculating the ovulation period is: Ovulation period first day = shortest menstrual cycle days minus 18 days; Ovulation period last day = longest menstrual cycle days minus 11 days.It is recommended that both partners abstain from sex for three to five days during the ovulation period and try coitus during this time. The male-on-female position is advisable, and after each sexual encounter, avoid withdrawing the penis immediately. Placing a pillow under the woman's hips can also increase the chances of conception. Excessive frequency of sexual activity may also affect fertility.
