when does ovulation occur
Many women ask "when does ovulation occur?"
If you plan to become pregnant, you should know when you are
ovulating. In a fertile cycle, an egg is released from your ovary each
month. The egg travels through your fallopian tube waiting to be fertilized by
sperm. This is when ovulation occurs. Once the egg is fertilized with
sperm, it goes into the uterus for implantation. You will then become
pregnant.
There are several ways to determine if ovulation occurs.
You can look at the calendar and watch your natural body signals
fertility.
Signs of ovulation
Some signs of ovulation abdominal pain, spotting,
headaches, bloating or breast pain during ovulation.
Ovulation Calendar
Most women have an average of 28 days of the
menstrual cycle and ovulation 14 days before the next menstrual cycle begins.
In this case, ovulation occurs around 14 days. If you have a 23-day
cycle, you ovulate on day 9. If you have a 34-day cycle, ovulation on
day 20. Some factors such as your diet, stress, drugs or other problems can
cause a hormonal imbalance causing irregular menstrual cycles. Therefore, trying
to figure out when you are ovulating using the calendars are not
accurate.
Cervical mucus
Just before ovulation, the cervical mucus increases
and becomes clear, thin and stretchy. This makes it easier for sperm to pass
through the uterus. The consistency of the mucus remains the same for a few
days until ovulation.
After ovulation, the mucus becomes thick and cloudy
or may disappear completely.
Basal body temperature (BBT)
Measure your body temperature every morning before you get
out of bed. Record the temperature in a bbt chart. You can create your own
graph paper using. Join the dots so that you can see the graph. You will notice
that at any given time, there is a drop in temperature, followed by a rise in
temperature for a few days. The drop in temperature indicates that you are
going to ovulate. The temperature increase is the result of an increase
in your level of hormones progesterone after ovulation.
Feeling Your cervix
There are changes in your cervix at different times of the
month. You can put your finger in your vagina to feel your cervix. Around ovulation,
the cervix becomes softer and slightly open. It also moves to a lower position.
Ovulation prediction kits or ovulation monitors
You can also use ovulation predictor kits or ovulation
monitors to help you determine when ovulation occurs.
They are more expensive but it is more accurate and less
time. You can get them in the pharmacy.
What happens during ovulation?
If you are trying to conceive, have sex at the right
time is very important. When you ovulate, your egg to be fertilized by
the sperm of a man in 24 hours. Sperm can live up to 4 days. As such, you
should have sex a few days before ovulation and the day of ovulation if
you want to get pregnant. It is better to have sex every day and every day
just before ovulation until a few days after ovulation.
How a woman becomes pregnant?
Having sex when ovulation occurs does not mean that
you will definitely get pregnant. There must be no abnormality in the
egg and sperm. Your body should be able to produce a good balance of estrogen
and progesterone. The fallopian tubes must not be blocked. The uterine lining
must be healthy and receptive to embryo implantation.
