Question 1

if a woman has a 28 day cycle and wants to know when she is ovulating when does she starting counting?

Accepted Answer

Am not sure of ?: The normal menstrual cycle is divided into the follicular and luteal phases, with ovulation occurring in the middle.  In normal cycles the luteal phase is usually ~14d+/-2d.  So, for a "normal" 28 day cycle ovulation is on day 14 (28-14=14).  For a "normal" 25d cycle ovulation would be on ~d10 (25-14=10), and similarly for a "normal" 32d cycle it would be on ~d18 (32-14=18).   Good luck.

Question 2

how can a woman know if she is fertile or when she ovulates?

Accepted Answer

Basal body temp, OPK: There are multiple ways to know whether or not you ovulate . The cheapest way is the basal body temperature where you take your temperature every single morning when you wake up and look for a rise in temperature midmonth or mid cycle; that&#x27;s caused by ovulation. Alternatively , you could try ovulation predictor kits or testing day 21 progesterone.

Question 3

when does a woman ovulate?

Accepted Answer

Ovulation: Typically occurs around day 14

Question 4

how often does a woman ovulate?

Accepted Answer

Monthly: It varies, but usually every 28 days, two weeks after the start of the menstrual flow.  Women will ovulate about 450 times in their lives.

Question 5

if a woman ovulates is she firtle?

Accepted Answer

Not always: You still need to have a normal uterine cavity, and  open fallopian tubes.   At 18, you should have no problem unless you were born with a uterine  birth defect.

Question 6

for how long does a woman ovulate?

Accepted Answer

1 day: The egg can only be fertilized for about 1 day after ovulation, but sperm can live for 4-5 days--so sex 4-5 days prior to ovulation can result in pregnancy.

Question 7

how long does a woman usually ovulate?

Accepted Answer

One moment in time: Ovulation is a single moment in time, when her egg pops out of her follicle on the surface of her ovary. Think of it as 1 minute, and then she has already ovulated and the egg is free. Before that 1 minute, she is trying to ovulate, or in the process of ovulation. The real question is when does a woman ovulate, which is usually about 14 days before the start of the next menstrual period.

Question 8

how many days does a woman ovulate for?

Accepted Answer

Ovulation: Ovulation is the event of the ovary releasing the readied egg.  Sperm, since they can live up to five days inside of a female, left in the vagina on the five days prior to ovulation are the sperm most likely to cause pregnancy when the egg pops out of the ovary.

Question 9

on average, how long will a woman ovulate?

Accepted Answer

One: Literally, ovulation occurs at the moment that an oocyte (egg) is released from a woman's ovary. More generally, the peri-ovulatory process (time around ovulation) could be considered to last from the day that lh peaks through actual ovulation (36 hours roughly, ) or even until Progesterone begins to rise (3-to-5 days.).

Question 10

how does a woman recognize when  she is ovulating?

Accepted Answer

14dys prior to cycle: A great way to measure ovulation is by tracking it on the calendar. A woman will ovulate 14 days before her cycle. If you have a 28 day cycle then it will be 14 days before your cycle or  14 days after your cycle. However cycles are from 21 to 30 days long. Also your body temperature  changes around your cycle. Download an app called pinkpad or mydays to track your cycle & ovulation.
