Until now, many women still do not know "what is ovulation?" Or “when do you ovulate?”. In fact, when entering the ovulation days, the cervical mucus will be more secreted, in some cases there may be light bleeding, pain in the lower abdomen, and firm breasts.

Normally, a woman's menstrual cycle will be counted from the first day of the previous period to the first day of the next period. To help women easily know what day they ovulate, Master, Doctor Huynh Vu Khanh Linh - Vinmec Phu Quoc instructs on how to identify ovulation according to the menstrual cycle as follows:
Mark the start of your cycle menstruation; Count the number of days to the next menstrual period; Monitor the menstrual cycle for about 6 months; Record the number of days of your menstrual cycle; Ovulation cycle will be calculated as the number of days of the menstrual cycle minus 14. For women with irregular menstrual cycles, you can determine the time of ovulation by recording the first day of this menstrual cycle and the day At the beginning of the next menstrual cycle, calculate the number of days and subtract 14.
Determining the time of ovulation will help a lot in planning a pregnancy for couples. The "fertilization window" period is considered the most fertile time, this period lasts 6 days (5 days before ovulation and ends on the day of ovulation). The peak time of conception is 3 days before ovulation and the day of ovulation. Couples can base on this to choose the date of intercourse, making it easier to conceive.
