Hello doctor, I had an early miscarriage at five weeks of pregnancy. I would like to know my ovulation days and if I am physically fit now. I wish to get a baby soon after this.
Hello. How are you doing? The ovulation day is determined based your periods duration. For a lady with 28 days cycle, ovulation will be on day 14, that is 14 days before periods. So if your cycle is regularly 30 days, ovulation is on Day 15, and so on. The first day of bleeding being day-1 of the cycle.  Now, if your cycle is irregular, the calculation is the longest cycle minus 8, and shortest cycle minus 11. The days between this is the duration of ovulation. For example, your longest cycle is 34 days and the shortest cycle is 27 days. Then, 34-8 = 26, 27-11 = 16. So, between day-16 to day-26 will be your ovulation. When you try for pregnancy, start having sex daily or on alternate days once bleeding stops till day-10 of periods. This is not for pregnancy, it is to throw out the older sperms. Then, no sex for three days. Now, young sperms accumulate. Then from day-13 have sex daily at least once for five days, later is optional. So now, young and healthy sperms are more. The older the sperms, pregnancy chances are low and such pregnancy has abortion rates too. Ensure that both of you do not have any infections or fever during that time, as that can affect the baby. I suggest you avoid any painkillers or Paracetamol as that can stop ovulation. Ovulation after a miscarriage is no different after a normal period. After a miscarriage, it is better to avoid pregnancy for three months, as the underlying cause may still be there. After that, you have to calculate using the days I have given. It is quite clearly mentioned. Hope I have cleared your query. For more information consult an obstetrician and gynaecologist online -->
