Ask
Hello doctor! Hello doctor, I'm currently trying to have a baby but I don't know how to calculate my menstrual cycle to watch the day of ovulation. Last month on the 28th and this month I have 26th, my period is regular every month, sometimes the difference is only 2 days. So the doctor asked me how to calculate the ovulation day for the 26-28 day menstrual cycle so that my wife and I can easily have a baby? Ask your doctor for advice. I would like to thank you.
