How many days will the cervix open during ovulation?

The shape of a woman's cervical opening varies depending on whether she has given birth before. The cervical opening of a woman who gives birth for the first time is round, while the cervical opening of a woman who has given birth is oval or transverse. During a woman's ovulation period, the cervix will remain open for several days, and how long this lasts is something many people are concerned about. So, how many days will the cervix be open during ovulation? Let’s take a look at the specific situation below.

The cervical opening of a woman who has not given birth is round, while the cervical opening of a woman who has given birth is oval or transverse.

How to calculate ovulation period:

1. Cervical mucus method. The cervical mucus is often dense in a small quantity, or even with no mucus at all after the menstruation is over, and it is called the "dry period", indicating a non-ovulation period. In the middle of the menstrual cycle, as endocrine secretions change, mucus increases and becomes thinner, and vaginal secretions increase, which is called the "wet period." As ovulation approaches, the mucus becomes clear, smooth and elastic, like egg white, with high stringiness and not easy to break. The last day of the appearance of this mucus ± 48 hours is the ovulation day. Therefore, when the vagina feels moist, it is the ovulation period, also known as the "fertile period." If you plan to conceive, you should choose the "wet period" before ovulation.

2. Spot bleeding observation method. When the follicle is discharged from the ovary, it tears the ovarian wall and causes local bleeding. Usually, this little bit of blood is quickly absorbed into the abdominal cavity. However, there are also a few women who experience heavy bleeding, and the blood will flow through the fallopian tubes, uterus, and vagina to the outside of the body, leaving drops of blood on the underwear. Some women call it "small menstruation" and it is medically called "ovulation bleeding."

3. B-ultrasound monitoring method. Through B-ultrasound examination, experienced doctors can see the process of follicles being discharged from small to large. This method should be the most accurate.

4. Basal body temperature method. Measure your body temperature immediately after waking up every morning without any activity. This temperature is called your "basal body temperature."

What are the symptoms of ovulation ? 1. Increased vaginal discharge

Leucorrhea is the vaginal discharge of women during the ovulation period, and a large amount of leucorrhea is discharged during the ovulation period. The leucorrhea of ​​a healthy woman is an odorless, slightly acidic viscous substance that can moisturize the vagina, help excrete waste, and inhibit the growth of pathogens. It is a characteristic of healthy and harmonious physiology.

In the first half of the menstrual cycle, vaginal discharge is scanty, thick, and opaque. As ovulation approaches, vaginal discharge gradually increases and becomes thin and milky white. During the ovulation period, the amount of secretions increases significantly and becomes watery, transparent and clear. Women will feel their vulva is wet and slippery, and when they wipe it with toilet paper, there will be egg white-like strips of mucus.

This vaginal discharge lasts for 2-3 days, and this period is the time when women are most likely to get pregnant.

2. Increased body temperature

The most obvious symptom of ovulation is that during the ovulation period, the female body temperature is significantly higher than usual. This is because the body temperature is greatly affected by the outside world. Moreover, if this method does not rely on a thermometer and does not measure the body temperature for a long time, it is generally impossible to detect it normally.

The best time to measure body temperature is after a normal deep sleep, and in the morning when you wake up before getting up, exercising, or talking. That is, the first thing you do after opening your eyes is to measure your body temperature. The measurement area is the sublingual part of the mouth. Place the thermometer under the tongue for 5 minutes, then take out the thermometer and record the body temperature. It is best to measure basal body temperature starting from the first day of menstruation, measure it every day, and record it on coordinate paper for observation and analysis.
