What is the menstrual cycle and ovulation?

Ovulation refers to the time during a woman’s menstrual cycle when eggs are released from the ovaries to the fallopian tubes. Generally speaking, women begin to release eggs on the 14th day of the menstrual cycle and continue until the 16th day of the menstrual cycle.

So, is the 16th day of menstruation the ovulation period?

Although the 16th day of menstruation seems to be close to the ovulation period, in fact not all women's menstrual cycle is 28 days, so not all women will be in the ovulation period on the 16th day of menstruation. In addition, a woman's menstrual cycle is also affected by many factors, such as diet, lifestyle, hormonal levels, etc.

Therefore, a woman's ovulation period cannot be inferred simply based on the time of menstruation. If you want to get pregnant, it is best to confirm whether you are in the ovulation period by measuring your body temperature, observing changes in appetite and physical strength, and using pregnancy tests.

What is body temperature measurement?

Body temperature measurement refers to recording changes in body temperature by measuring body temperature in the mouth or anus. Generally speaking, a woman's body temperature will rise before menstruation, then gradually drop, reach the highest during ovulation, and then drop rapidly.

By measuring body temperature, you can understand a woman's temperature changes and whether she is ovulating. However, body temperature measurements need to be taken consistently, and body temperature data needs to be recorded and interpreted correctly.

To sum up, by understanding a woman’s menstrual cycle and ovulation period, we can help women better control their reproductive health and choose the right time to have children. If you have any questions, please consult your doctor.
