Count Fertile Period
Knowing the fertile period is very important for women who were planning a pregnancy. Determination of fertility can be done every month based on the menstrual cycle. However, many women are confused to find out the fertile period. Especially for women who have irregular menstrual periods.
The majority of women have a 28-day menstrual cycle. However, environmental factors often make the menstrual cycle can change with the range of 22 to 36 days. The cycle is calculated from the first day of menstruation until the last day before menstruation in the next month.
Menstrual cycle affect fertility. The faster the menstrual cycle, the sooner she ovulates, which affect fertility.
Consider the following table:
| Fertile menstrual cycle | Ovulation | Period |
| 22 | Day-8 | Day-7 to 9 |
| 23 | Day-9 | Day-8 to 10 |
| 24 | Day-10 | Day-9 to 11 |
| 25 | Day-11 | Day-10 to 12 |
| 26 | Day-12 | Day-11 to 13 |
| 27 | Day-13 | Day-12 to 14 |
| 28 | Day-14 | Day-13 to 15 |
| 29 | Day-15 | Day-14 to 16 |
| 30 | Day-16 | Day-15 to 17 |
| 31 | Day-17 | Day-16 to 18 |
| 32 | Day-18 | Day-17 to 19 |
| 33 | Day-19 | Day-18 to 20 |
| 34 | Day-20 | Day-19 to 21 |
| 35 | Day-21 | Day-20 to 22 |
| 36 | Day-22 | Day-21 to 23 |
As an illustration, let us simulate the calculation of fertility:
Early last month periods : January 1
Early menstruation this month : February 3
The menstrual cycle : 33 days
Ovulation: February 22 (19 days since the beginning of menstruation this month)
Fertile period: February 21 to 23 (the day before until the day after ovulation)
Fertile period lasts about three days. But, that does not mean beyond that period, women can not be pregnant. Fertile period is the best time for conception. So, beyond the fertile period did not rule out a pregnant woman. Especially in prime condition, the male sperm can survive for seven days in a woman’s uterus.
