-
Understanding the Fertile Period:
- Dr. Giri emphasizes the significance of knowing the fertile period when attempting to conceive.
- The fertile period is the specific day during the menstrual cycle when the chances of pregnancy are heightened if intercourse occurs.
-
Determining Your Fertile Period:
- Fertile period varies based on the length of the menstrual cycle.
- For a 28-day cycle, ovulation typically occurs around day 14, marking the fertile period.
- LH (Luteinizing Hormone) kits can be utilized to identify the fertile period. Starting tests around day 11, a positive result indicates imminent ovulation, allowing couples to plan intercourse accordingly.
-
Follicular Monitoring:
- Another method involves consulting a fertility specialist for follicular monitoring.
- This process tracks the growth of the follicle and identifies when it is on the verge of rupturing, indicating the fertile window.
-
Calculating Fertile Period with Regular Cycles:
- For those with regular menstrual cycles (28 to 35 days), a straightforward calculation is possible.
- In a 28-day cycle, ovulation may occur on day 14. Dr. Giri advises couples to engage in intercourse between day 12 and day 20 to maximize conception chances.
- Considering the lifespan of an egg is 18-24 hours and sperm can survive for 5 to 7 days, alternating intercourse on days 12 to 20 enhances the likelihood of conception.
