Avatar n tn You count the length of your cycle from the first day of your last period to the first day of your next period. The length of your mentration does not calculate. Once you know the average length of your cycle, you can find out when you are supposed to O.
Avatar m tn Plus once u get a scan done u dont actually need ur menstrual cycle date because thn actual due date is dertermined from that scan...
586373 tn?1312031791 Thanks for the suggestion. We'll be adding the ability to mark items on your chart in the near future. When that feature launches, you'll be able to mark the beginning of each menstrual cycle. Since other women may not find it necessary, it'll be at your discretion. We'll let you know when it's available.
Avatar f tn We found substantial correlation between usual cycle length at enrolment and day of ovulation (follicular phase length) during the study (R=0.55, all cycles). Thus, self reported cycle length can be useful in predicting whether a woman is in her fertile window.Figure ​Figure33 shows the probability of women with regular cycles being in their fertile window, grouped by usual cycle length.
Avatar n tn You can ovulate without having had a period- yes! The reason being that ovulation determines your next menstrual cycle. Here's a great, easy-to-read article by our own resident OBGYN here at MedHelp: http://www.medhelp.org/health_pages/Pregnancy/Menstrual-Cycle-EXPLAINED-by-a-doc/show/515?
Avatar f tn My period does the same thing. I would say it's regular. Anything can change your period. Ulster you stressed? Stress plays a big role with my cycles.
Avatar f tn The reason this works, no matter how long your cycle is, is because the 2 weeks leading up to your period is called your luteal phase and almost all women have approximately the same length phase - 14 days, and the luteal phase is started by your ovulation. For women who have a shorter than 28-day cycle, they will ovulate earlier in the cycle (possibly closer to cycle day 10, 11, or 12) and some women ovulate later, if they have a longer monthly cycle. So the question is...
Avatar n tn Based on a 28 day menstrual cycle, you should start testing using the Ovulation kit 5 days out from your likely ovulation date which is Day 14 of your menstrual cycle. Therefore you should start testing on Day 7 of your menstrual cycle. You should test every day from Day 7 at the same time of the day to ensure the most accurate results.
Avatar n tn Given that I was on the pill for so long, does it take time for my cycle to normalize? I have no idea what the length of my cycle was prior to starting the pill. Thanks for any advice.
Avatar f tn t start a cycle that causes ovulation, instead, ovulation starts a cycle that then causes a period. The body sloughs off its uterine lining 14-15 days after ovulation, even for women who are irregular in their cycles. This means if a woman has a 28-day cycle, she might expect to see ovulation on day 14 and a period on day 28, but if she has a 60-day cycle she would expect ovulation to be around day 46 and the period on day 60.
Avatar n tn I don't know about "normal" ovulation but if you had sex a day after your period than chances of pregnancy is low. Your chances are high if you have sex during ovulation or immediately after because the egg only has a 24 hour window to be fertilized. It seems your ovulation won't be for another week to week and a half after your period. If you want the date(s) where you are highly fertile I recommend doing an ovulation calculator which can be found online.
Avatar f tn A 'cycle' is how many days from day 1 (first day of bleeding) of one menstrual period, to day 1 of the next period. A "typical" woman's cycle length might be 28 or 29 days. Ovulation in an "average" cycle might be at around day 14, right in between the two periods.
Avatar f tn I was not talking about your menstrual period, I was talking about your menstrual cycle. A cycle is from the first day of bleeding of one period to the first day of bleeding the next period. If the dates you named are all day 1 of bleeding, your cycles are 25 or 26 days long. Many calculators use a standard 28-day cycle to try to predict ovulation. That would not be correct if used by a person with a 25- or 26-day cycle.
Avatar f tn Hi, was wondering, does anyone on here have a really long cycle length?
676912 tn?1332812551 So what I get is that you are basing your ovulation day of your cycle on the date your son was conceived? This is totally unreliable. First, there is no way to know for sure when your ovulation happened without charting temps and watching for the increase that shows ovulation. Implantation could happen anywhere from day 6-14, usually between 7-10 DPO. There is no way to know how long your implantation was. As for taking the OPK, cycles vary.
1248522 tn?1278065709 You due date would depend on how long your cycle is and when in your cycle you ovulate. In MY case, based on my LMP I would be a week ahead of where I actually am, but becuase I have longer cycles I'm actually a week behind. BASED on your LMP you would be 9 wks this fridon thursday. That means you will have completed a FULL 9 weeks and Friday would be the first day of your 10th week. When they do a dating ultrasound you will get a better idea of how far a long you actually are.
Avatar n tn I was wondering if my menstrual cycle was only 3 days long would that change when I ovulate.
Avatar f tn Ovulation usually takes place 14 days after the beginning of your menstrual cycle. The time of ovulation within the menstrual cycle is determined by the luteal phase, which is usually 12 to 16 days long. You can calculate the time of ovulation within your cycle by subtracting the length of your luteal phase from the length of your cycle. For example, if your cycle is 28 days long and your luteal phase is 12 days long, the ovulation will occur on day 16 of your cycle (28-12=16).
Avatar n tn The two confounders are that with increasing age miscarriage rates increase (most commonly due to an increase in chromosomal abnormalities secondary to aging oocytes), and with increasing age the menstrual cycle can begin to vary in length by 7 days or more. So it is not necessarily the change in cycle length (or a change in the luteal phase) that is the cause of a miscarriage, but rather the fact egg quality continues to decline with age.
Avatar f tn The last day of your cycle is the day before your next menstrual period starts. The average cycle length is considered 28 days, but many women have longer or shorter cycles and it's fine. The average women ovulates approximately 14 days before the start of her period, but again, that is certainly not carved in stone. The time between your ovulation and period is referred to as a luteal phase. Hope that helps.
Avatar f tn Here is an Email I received concerning this subject: When is the best time to have intercourse if we're trying to conceive? Timing is everything. Sperm can live for two to three days, but the egg is around for only 12 to 24 hours. To increase the likelihood of conception, it's important to have intercourse more than once around the time of ovulation. It is a good idea to have sex one to two days before ovulation and again on the day you ovulate.
Avatar f tn t think quitting smoking or herbal supplements would affect your cycle length or ovulation time. According to Clearblue, it is normal to have an anovulatory cycle once every 13 months or so. Are you having outside stress that is maybe delaying your cycle's progress? I track my BBT along with using the clearblue monitor. The monitor will see your ovulation coming by detecting the LH surge, and the BBT should confirm ovulation has occured after a thermal shift is detected. Hope this helps!
Avatar f tn 30 days or 31 days or whatever the case may be) to 4/13, then subtract 14 days. Keep in mind as well that sperm can live in a fertile environment for several days. Once fertilization has taken place, it can take several more days for implantation. So unless you are being monitored by ultrasound or had IVF, it's virtually impossible to pinpoint the moment of conception. Ultrasound dating is very accurate in early pregnancy.
Avatar f tn They do add weeks, because they calculate your due date from your last menstrual cycle.
500453 tn?1210676097 I was excited to see these added to the list of trackers, but I would really like to be able to see at a glance the cycle length as is in the Ovulation Tracker. Being peri-menopausal with the added fun of having a prolactinoma, my cycle is all over the place and I prefer not having to count the days myself. Would it be possible to add the cycle information to these trackers?
Avatar f tn No, they are two weeks apart. They don't mean the same thing. A LMP date is the first day of a woman's period. Usually in pregnancy, it's discussed because it is the last period she had before she got pregnant (and then she didn't have any other periods until the baby was born). It's used to start the count of the time length of pregnancy, even though ovulation (and conception) don't happen on the first day of a woman's period.
