Patient's question:
I've been married for two or three years, and I haven't taken any specific contraceptive measures, but I haven't been able to get pregnant. This year, my family is looking forward to us having a child sooner. My colleague said that if you calculate the ovulation period well, the chances of getting pregnant will be much higher. However, I don't know the best time to test for ovulation. I'd like to ask for some advice.What kind of help do you want: What is the best time to test for ovulation?
Doctor's answer:
Pregnancy is an extremely complex physiological process. For a woman to conceive, having normal ovulation and intercourse during the ovulation period is just one of the necessary conditions. For this, you can measure your body temperature every morning after waking up. Generally, the temperature is lower in the first half of the day and even lower during the ovulation period, then gradually rises after ovulation. The ovulation date is usually about 14 days before the next menstrual period, starting from the first day of the next period. Counting backward 14 days or subtracting 14 days gives the ovulation day. The ovulation period includes the ovulation day itself and the 5 days before and 4 days after it. The specific calculation depends on your menstrual cycle, and the period must be very accurate for the calculated ovulation period to be correct. If you want to get pregnant, start having intercourse every other day from the first day of the ovulation period. Without any special circumstances, you will generally conceive.
