Lows & highs: Blood sugar levels. Keeping blood glucose (sugar) levels in a healthy range can be challenging. Knowing and understanding the symptoms of high and low blood sugar is very important for people living with diabetes, as well as their friends and family members.
There is not a way to know for certain how long after your period you will ovulate, however. Ovulation does not occur in relation to the previous period, but rather to the next period. You will ovulate 14 days prior to the start of your next menstrual cycle. This means, then, that if you have a 28-day cycle, you will ovulate roughly 14 days after your period, and 14 days prior to the start of your next period. If you have a 31 day cycle, however, you will ovulate roughly 17 days after your period, and, again, 14 days prior to the start of your next period. If you are trying to conceive, you should begin to have intercourse roughly 4-5 days prior to ovulation, as the sperm can live in the body for about 5 days.
The length of the cycle is measured from Day 1 of one cycle (bleed) to Day 1 of the next cycle (bleed). Your menstrual cycle length and the day of ovulation are directly related. Your menstrual period begins about 14 days after you ovulate. If ovulation occurs on approximately day 14 of a womanâs cycle then your next period starts about 14 days later and the cycle length is 28 days. Ovulation happens when a mature egg is released from the ovary. It is then picked up by the fallopian tube and is available to be fertilized.
