Normal menstruation and ovulation

What is normal menstruation?

Normal menstruation means that a woman's menstrual cycle and bleeding volume are within the normal range. Generally speaking, a woman's menstrual cycle lasts 28 days, but some people have it fluctuating to 30 or 32 days, or they only bleed once a month, or they bleed twice a month. Regardless of the length of the menstrual cycle and the amount of bleeding, a woman is considered to have normal menstruation as long as she has her period at the same time every month.

What is ovulation?

Ovulation is the time when a woman’s eggs are released from her ovaries into her fallopian tubes. This process usually occurs between days 14 and 16 of a woman's menstrual cycle. During this period, a woman's eggs are mature and ready for fertilization. Therefore, ovulation is an important period for pregnancy.

How to determine if menstruation is normal and ovulation is normal?

Determining whether your periods and ovulation are normal require some testing and observation. Here are some tests and observations that may be helpful:

1. Observe the menstrual cycle: Calculate a woman’s menstrual cycle and record it on the calendar. Observe whether the menstrual cycle is within normal limits, including cycle length and bleeding volume.

2. Measure body temperature: Measuring basal body temperature can help determine a woman’s menstrual cycle and ovulation period. Take your oral temperature every morning when you wake up and record it. Observe changes in body temperature. If the body temperature remains within the normal range during the cycle, it is considered normal menstruation and normal ovulation.

3. Use a pregnancy test: Using a pregnancy test can help determine whether you are pregnant. Observe the mark on the pregnancy test stick, and if it shows a positive result, you are considered pregnant.

4. Observe appetite and mood: In the middle of the menstrual cycle, women may experience changes in appetite and mood. Observing changes in appetite and mood and recording them on a calendar can help determine whether a woman's menstrual cycle and ovulation are normal.

Regular menstruation and normal ovulation are important factors in maintaining female reproductive health. If you're not sure whether your period or ovulation is normal, talk to your doctor or other medical professional.
