Women's menstrual cycle and ovulation are important factors in maintaining good health. If women can accurately predict their menstrual cycles and ovulation periods, they can better organize their lives, such as arranging appointments, planning travel, or arranging family planning. This article will introduce the basic knowledge of women’s menstrual cycle and ovulation period, as well as how to predict your own ovulation period.

A woman's menstrual cycle is usually determined by the time between the first days of her period, usually called a month. A woman's menstrual cycle can be divided into parts or all of the cycle, depending on factors such as her age, health, and lifestyle habits. Typically, a woman's menstrual cycle lasts between 28 and 35 days, but some may have it longer or shorter.

A woman's menstrual cycle is also affected by hormones. Women's hormone levels change during different phases of the menstrual cycle, including between the first 7 days and the last 8 days of the cycle. These hormones include estrogen, progesterone, and estrogen. The role of these hormones in the female body is to maintain female reproductive functions, including the pregnancy of a fetus.

2. How to predict your ovulation period

A woman's menstrual cycle and ovulation period can be predicted by measuring basal body temperature, observing secretions, and observing symptoms.

1. Measure basal body temperature

Measuring basal body temperature is a commonly used method to predict a woman's menstrual cycle and ovulation. Women put a thermometer on their tongue before going to bed every night and record changes in body temperature. Typically, a woman's basal body temperature changes between the first 7 days and the last 8 days of her cycle, which means these days may be when a woman is ovulating.

2. Observe secretions

Women's discharge behaves differently at different stages of the cycle. During the period between the first 7 days and the last 8 days of the cycle, a woman's discharge may become clearer, translucent, and moist. These discharges can be white or yellow, and may have a color or odor. By observing these secretions, women can predict their menstrual cycle and ovulation.

3. Observe symptoms

Women may feel different symptoms during different stages of their cycle.
