How to Calculate a Womans Menstrual Cycle?
It is well known that the chances of pregnancy are very high when a woman is in her ovulation period. For couples preparing for pregnancy, having intercourse during this period can increase the chance of conception. Therefore, accurately knowing the ovulation period of women is relatively important. Currently, there are several methods to calculate the ovulation period of women, including the basal body temperature measurement method, ovulation test paper method, and secretion examination.
1. The Aquino Method (also known as the mathematical formula method) involves calculating approximately 14 days backwards from the first day of the menstrual cycle to determine the ovulation day. Assuming that the day of the next menstrual period is the Nth day, the ovulation day this time is N-14 days.
2. The ovulation test paper method involves detecting the level of luteinizing hormone in the urine of women. Luteinizing hormone reaches a peak within 24 to 48 hours before ovulation. Female friends can regularly test using ovulation test paper near the ovulation period. When the color is approaching the peak, they should test every 12 hours until the peak of luteinizing hormone is detected.
3. The basal body temperature measurement method involves measuring and recording the body temperature of women every morning after waking up. The body temperature rises by 0.3 to 0.5℃ after ovulation, so female friends can calculate the ovulation period by measuring their body temperature.
4. The leucorrhea observation method involves observing changes in the state of leucorrhea during the menstrual cycle. During the non-ovulation period, leucorrhea is relatively dry and sticky with less secretion. However, during the ovulation period, the secretion of leucorrhea increases, becomes clearer and transparent, and shows a stretchy texture. This is due to the increased secretion of estrogen during ovulation.
1. Decreased appetite: Women's appetite may decrease during the ovulation period. Studies have shown that the ovulation period is the time when women have the lowest food intake during a menstrual cycle. This is due to the influence of hormones, which makes female animals during ovulation focus more on finding a mate and less on searching for food.
2. Increased energy: Increased energy is another symptom of ovulation in women. This is a natural instinct inherited from humans, as women tend to appear more energetic and eager to show themselves to attract the opposite sex during ovulation, in order to successfully attract a mate.
3. Increased sexual desire: During ovulation, women's sexual desire tends to be more intense. The chance of pregnancy during ovulation is relatively high compared to other times. Therefore, women who wish to conceive may experience particularly pronounced symptoms of increased sexual desire during ovulation.
4. Increased leucorrhea: Leucorrhea is the vaginal discharge of women during ovulation. During ovulation, women may experience increased leucorrhea. Normally, leucorrhea during ovulation is odorless, slightly acidic, and sticky, which helps to moisturize the vagina, excrete waste, and inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria. This is a normal physiological phenomenon.
5. Elevated body temperature: The body temperature of women during ovulation may be slightly higher than usual. However, without measuring the basal body temperature, the change in body temperature during ovulation may not be significant, generally fluctuating around 0.5℃.
