Best time to conceive

The birth of every newborn means there is one more mother in the world, because pregnancy for ten months is not easy for the mother. In addition, some women may have extremely strong pregnancy reactions during pregnancy due to their different physical constitutions, and may even feel dizzy and want to vomit every day. So having a child is really not easy. The severe pain during childbirth is unbearable.

No matter how difficult it is, it cannot affect a mother's determination to give birth to a baby, because the baby is the apple of the mother's eye and has become the spiritual pillar of the mother. Some women also believe that having babies and nurturing the next generation is a woman's responsibility, so in the gynecology department, there are always people asking doctors what is the best time to conceive.

1. Schedule calculation method

Generally speaking, the ovulation day of an expectant mother is 12-16 days (14 days on average) before the next menstrual period.

The specific date can be calculated using the calendar extrapolation method. The main method is to calculate the "fertile period" and "unfertile period" in the current cycle based on the records of more than 12 menstrual cycles in the past. The formula is as follows, please refer to:

(1) The number of days in the shortest cycle in the past - 19 = the last day of the "infertile period" before ovulation. The next day is the first day of the "fertile period".

(2) The longest cycle in the past - 10 = the last day of the "fertile period after ovulation". This way, the specific date of the "fertile period" can be calculated.

Women with normal menstrual periods usually have a cycle of 28 days. Expectant mothers can calculate their schedule based on their menstrual patterns.

2. Basic body temperature measurement method

The body temperature method is a more accurate way to measure the ovulation day, because generally speaking, a woman's basal body temperature will suddenly drop on the day of ovulation, and the body temperature will rise by 0.3-0.5 degrees compared to the basal body temperature in the next few days.

It is recommended that expectant mothers buy a thermometer and shake it to below 35℃ before going to bed every day. The measurement method is to measure the body temperature immediately after waking up every day (after 8 hours of sleep) without doing any exercise. Because any movement may increase the body temperature and cause errors, the measurement must be completed without exercise, and it should last for at least 14 days. It is best to keep measuring and record it and draw a graph to grasp the pattern of rising and falling body temperature and determine your ovulation day.

In fact, even if you conceive at the best time, it does not necessarily mean that you will be able to get pregnant, just like the safe period does not necessarily mean that you cannot get pregnant. All we can say is that the probability is quite high and there is a certain degree of randomness. But even if you are not pregnant, don't worry too much and don't put too much pressure on yourself. The most important thing is to keep a relaxed attitude.
