I had a colonoscopy at 50 and they found a very tiny tubular adenoma and because of that I have to go every five years for my colonoscopy. Had I pushed it off who knows what wouldâve happened. I was so afraid of the prep.
The good news is that, even for women with an irregular cycle, you can generally figure out when during the month you are going to ovulate. 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 they don't breastfeed, most women begin to ovulate again about four to six weeks after having their baby. Ovulation can occur before a woman has her first period after childbirth. Women who exclusively breastfeed (feeding the baby only with breastmilk) usually don't begin to ovulate again until five to six months after the baby is born.
