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.
Answer: Menstruation lasts from three to five days, on average. Your period is the shedding of the lining of your uterus. Your menstrual flow is partly made of this shed lining called the endometrium. In order for your normal period to come your body has to ovulate. Usually, your period will come about 12-16 days after you ovulate if you did not get pregnant.
