Which Are The Fertile Days In A 24-26 Day Menstruation Cycle?
Question: I just had a period on the 18th of September for 6 days I am irregular but lately it has been coming almost every 24-26th days how can I calculate when I am fertile
Brief Answer:
Seems normal.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing to us again.
The menstrual cycle can be considered normal when it ranges from 21-35 days, so in your case it can very well be considered normal.
It is rather difficult to predict ovulation in irregular cycles.
Usually in 21-35 day cycles from the 8th-19th day of cycle can be considered the most fertile period (as in your case your first day of the cycle is 18 th September so fertile days in your case usually between 26september- 7october).
For an accurate calculation of fertile period you should start to calculate your ovulation by an ovulation predictor kit which are available in the market.
Usually female is most fertile 1-2 days after ovulation (it is based on that sperm survive for 7 days and ova for 48 hrs. in vagina).
Hope I have answered your query if you have further questions I will be happy to assist you.
Good luck.
Regards
