How To Calculate The Date Of Ovulation?

default
Posted on Tue, 7 Jun 2016
Question: Hi there,
Being without a period of 52 days the missed period being in February, I had my last period on the 26th of March due to taking Primolut N Tablets.
I was wondering when the next ovulation time will be for me? I am taking ovulation testing everyday and my fertile period is saying now and ovulation on the 9th of April... But I am not sure as I have read this is a "withdrawal" period. I am a little confused.
Thank you
doctor

Brief Answer:
Following treatment plan should be carried out.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for updated information. Followings are my comments:

1) If your last period date was 26th March following intake of Primolut-N, you may ovulate around 7th -10th April. You should continue to use ovulation prediction kit to predict ovulation on those expected date.

2) I suggest you to take cyclic PROGESTERONE pill (like Dydrogesterone) from D16 to D25 to regularize your monthly cycle as your period may be delayed or irregular after taking Primolut-N. It should be continued for 1-3 cycles. Kindly, consult with GYNECOLOGIST for complete prescription.

3) Do unprotected sex close to ovulation day (14 days prior to next due date) or fertile days (12th to 18th day of each 28 - 30 days regular cycle) for at least 6 months. Chance of pregnancy 20-25% per cycle.

4) You must take a healthy balanced diet with more fresh fruits and vegetables. Low carbohydrate diet is preferable. Take vitamin-E and Folic acid supplements for 3 months in preconception period and there after.

5) Do light to moderate exercise for physical fitness, weight control and avoid mental stress completely by regular meditation/ yoga. Maintain a healthy life style always.

Hope, it helps for your information. Wish your good health and take care.

Brief Answer:
Ovulation may occur on 4th April if cycle < 28 days.

Detailed Answer:
Hello Dear,

Welcome back again.

1) If your last period date is 26th March and cycle length is 28 days, then you should ovulate around 7th -10th April as ovulation occurs approx 14 days prior to next due date.

2) 4th April is slight early from your expected ovulation day and it may occur if your current cycle becomes irregular or less than 28 days.

3) Basal body temperature (BBT) gives a rough idea about when ovulation has occurred and it DOESN'T predict ovulation. It also varies from women to women. You should use ovulation prediction kit to get more accurate result.

Hope, it helps for your information. Good luck and take care.
