Estimating and calculating the fertile period of woman after menstruation is one of the main ways to have offspring. That's why to plan pregnancy, you need to have a record of menstrual periods.
What is the menstrual cycle or menstruation?
Menstrual cycle is the range of days from the first day of menstruation to the first day of the next menstruation. Normal menstrual cycle is every 21-35 days. Day 1 (one) in the menstrual cycle is the first day of menstruation occurs.
When does ovulation occur?
Generally ovulation occurs about 12 - 14 days before the first day of menstruation. Actually, the day when ovulation depends on your menstrual cycle. If your cycle is short, for example just 22 days, then ovulation may occur only a few days after the menstrual period ends. So, the time of ovulation can be different for each woman. For that, it is important for you to know your menstrual cycle in order to estimate the time of ovulation.
When is your fertile period?
Your fertile period revolves around the time of ovulation, approximately within five days before ovulation occurs. Generally the fertile period of women is 12 - 16 days before the next menstrual period. In other words, the average woman experiences a fertile period between day 10 to day 17 after the first day of her previous menstruation. This is true for women who have a regular menstrual cycle of 28 days. However, if your cycle is different, you can try to learn and calculate when your fertile period is.
The thing that becomes a challenge is generally the length of women's menstrual period can change from time to time, usually lasts 2-7 days. This condition makes ovulation can be different a week faster or slower than the next period.
On the other hand, in addition to the process of ovulation, pregnancy is largely determined by the process of reaching the egg sperm. In order to conceive, this mature egg has to be fertilized within 12 to 24 hours.
Self-Counting
The short period of 12-24 hours of egg cell time should be fertilized, making it important to detect in what days the woman is in the most fertile position. Generally this fertile period is calculated based on the records and analysis of the menstrual cycle for at least the last 8 months.
Estimated fertility period can be calculated by the following formula:
Know your shortest cycle. Example: 27 days. Subtract this number by 18. The result: 9. This number is the first day when you are in the most fertile position. Know your longest cycle. Example: 30 days. Subtract this number by 11. The result: 19. This number is the last day when you are most fertile.
Thus if your average cycle is 27 - 30 days, then you will be most fertile on days 9 to 19. To further strengthen the predictions of the most fertile days, you can use some other indicators such as:
Basal body temperature increases. Basal body temperature is the body temperature when waking up in the morning. Normal temperature is 35.5 - 36.6 degrees centigrade. But if your body temperature rises a little higher than that number, this may mean you have ovulated within the last 1 - 2 days.
The presence of mucus from the cervix. Mucus can occur from thick, wet, to thick, semi-transparent. This mucus change shows changes in estrogen levels in the body, which also signals whether ovulation is imminent. You are called in a very fertile period when the liquid is clear, smooth, and elastic, like raw egg whites. This fluid that will smoothen and protect the way of sperm into the fallopian tubes to meet the egg.
Mild to severe pain in the abdomen or one of the back. Some women feel this around the time of ovulation. This pain can actually be a sign to help detect the most fertile period. Feelings more excited. Some women feel more excited, more excited, and easier to socialize when experiencing fertile periods.
Menstrual Cycle Detail
To further clarify what happens after a woman's menstrual period, here are the details of the menstrual cycle from day to day in general:
Day 1 to 5: Menstruation occurs because there is no fertilization or you do not have a pregnancy. Progesterone and estrogen levels are low. Body temperature 35.5 - 36.6 degrees Celsius.
Day 6 to 7: The brain produces hormones that then stimulate the formation of the egg cel
Day 8 (may extend to day 12): The uterine wall re-thickens and increases vascular supply, in preparation for receiving a fertilized egg.
Day 10: the vaginal mucus becomes thick and sticky.
Day 12: Vaginal mucus becomes clearer, slicker, and elastic, indicating ovulation is imminent. Although ovulation is still a few days away, sexual intercourse done in this period can lead to pregnancy because sperm can survive 2-5 days in the female body.
Day 13: estrogen increases drastically before it declines.
Day 14: estrogen levels begin to fall. This triggers the production of other hormones that cause the ovaries to release the egg. This is called ovulation. The egg can survive about 12-24 hours.
Day 15-22: if fertilization does not occur, generally the fertile period is over. The color of mucus becomes cloudy and dense.
Day 25-27: Because fertilization does not occur, progesterone levels begin to decline and mucus becomes viscous or not produced at all.
Day 28: no fertilization means estrogen and progesterone hormone levels continue to decline. With decreasing levels of these hormones, menstruation begins tomorrow. By estimating and calculating the fertile period after your period, you will become more helpful in planning your pregnancy and evaluating reproductive health.
