how long after ovulation until period
Your menstrual period begins about 14 days after you ovulate. If ovulation occurs on approximately day 14 of a womanâs 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.
On average, a womanâs cycle normally is between 28-32 days, but some women may have much shorter or much longer cycles. Ovulation can be calculated by starting with the first day of the last menstrual period (LMP) or by calculating 12-16 days from the next expected period.
