How Precise is Pregnancy Planning using the Ovulation Calend Posted: 04-13-06 08:38am
Hello Doc! I have a question about my
period. Before I had my misscarriage I
always started on the 8th, it was 29days.
After my m/c it was always on the 13th,
32days. Well last month was my first time
trying to get pregnant and I started on
the 9th,28days. Will it be easer for me to
get pregnant now since it kinda back to
normal? And I would like to ask if you
look up your ovulation days on the
ovulation calender, how right are they?
Like I started my period on the 9th and it
said that my ovulation days are the
19-23rd, that I ovulate on the 23rd.
In your case, it seems that conceiving is
not a problem ...but keeping the pregnancy
is. The date of ovulation is relatively
precise and predictable in women with a
regular cycle, and therefore conecption
can be planned. Ovulation occurs 14 days
before Day 1 of menstruation. For example:
your period started on the 9th of March.
Therefore, if your cycle last 28 days,
then your next period is due to start on
the 6th of April. If ovulation occurs 14
days before Day 1 of your period, then
your ovulation date is (was) March 23rd.
You can also use ovulation tests to
exactly determine an ovulation date.
