The follicular phase and ovulation phase are critical stages for conceiving a healthy baby, but they are calculated differently. This article will explain how to correctly calculate the follicular phase and ovulation phase.

The follicular phase is when eggs begin to form, usually between days 14 and 20 of a woman’s menstrual cycle. At this time, small eggs, called ovules, appear in the ovaries. It takes time for the eggs to mature and be released, so the follicular phase usually lasts several days.

What is ovulation?

Ovulation refers to the process of egg maturation and release, usually between the 14th and 20th days of a woman's menstrual cycle. At this time, the egg begins to mature and gradually grow until it reaches its maximum size, then ruptures and is expelled. Therefore, ovulation usually lasts several days.

How to calculate follicular phase and ovulation phase?

To calculate the follicular phase and ovulation phase, you need to first understand the general pattern of the female menstrual cycle. Typically, a woman's menstrual cycle lasts 28 days, but some people have longer or shorter menstrual cycles.

Here are the general steps for calculating follicular phase and ovulation:

1. Recording cycle time: Starting from the beginning of recording cycle time, the time recorded each time is the cycle time.

2. Determine the basal body temperature measurement time: Usually, the time for measuring basal body temperature is from the 10th to the 14th day of the cycle.

3. Determine the time range from day 14 to day 20 of the cycle: Based on the recorded time, determine the time range from day 14 to day 20 of the cycle.

4. Calculate the follicular phase and ovulation phase: Between the 14th and 20th day of the cycle, calculate the follicular phase and ovulation phase based on basal body temperature and cycle time.

It should be noted that the above method is only a general reference, and the actual calculation time may vary. If a woman doesn't do the calculations the right way, it can lead to inaccurate results. Therefore, it is recommended that women consult a doctor in advance to ensure the accuracy of the calculation results.

The follicular phase and ovulation phase are critical stages for conceiving a healthy baby. Correct calculation can help women better control the pregnancy process. If a woman has fertility problems, it is recommended to consult a doctor for professional advice and help.
