Postpartum, postmenstruation, ovulation period

What is ovulation?

Ovulation refers to the time when a woman’s egg is released from the ovary, enters the fallopian tube, and combines with sperm. It usually occurs about 14 days before a woman's next period. Therefore, if it is combined with sperm during this period, pregnancy is possible.

How to calculate ovulation period after menstruation after childbirth

1. Measure basal body temperature

Measuring basal body temperature can help new mothers determine when they are ovulating. Basal body temperature refers to the process in which a woman's body temperature rises by 0.3-0.5 degrees Celsius after sleeping. You can measure your basal body temperature once a day and record changes in body temperature about 14 days before your next menstruation.

2. Observe the menstrual cycle

Watching your menstrual cycle can help new mothers determine when they are ovulating. Usually, the first menstrual cycle after giving birth will be more regular, while the second menstrual cycle may show some changes. By observing your menstrual cycle, you can take better control of your fertility.

3. Use a calendar or mobile app

Using a calendar or mobile app can help new mothers better understand their ovulation days. Mark possible dates on your calendar and note temperature changes. These tools can help new mothers better understand their fertility.

Although the calculation method of ovulation period after menstruation after delivery is simple, it can help new mothers better control their fertility situation. If you are not pregnant yet, it is recommended to contact your doctor to learn how to improve your fertility.
