What is ovulation
The ovulation period is a very important stage in the female menstrual cycle, usually around the 14th day after the menstrual period. During this period, the eggs in the female ovaries begin to be discharged into the fallopian tube, preparing to combine with sperm for pregnancy. Since ovulation is the time when pregnancy is most likely to occur, women preparing for pregnancy need to know their own ovulation time in order to better control pregnancy.
What are the symptoms of ovulation
1. Body temperature changes: During the ovulation period, a woman\’s basal body temperature will change significantly, generally rising by about 0.3°C, lasting for about 1-2 days.
2. Cervical changes: During the ovulation period, the secretions of the cervix will become sticky and protein-like, which is to facilitate the passage of sperm and reach the egg.
3. Changes in nipples and breasts: The ovulation period will be accompanied by some breast changes, such as nipple sensitivity.
4. Ovarian pain: Ovulation often brings some ovarian discomfort. There is no particularly obvious pain, mostly a dull pain.
How to confirm ovulation
The exact time of ovulation varies depending on the length of a woman\’s menstrual cycle and the number of menstrual cycles, but it usually refers to the middle phase of the menstrual cycle. Women can confirm their ovulation period by:
1. Measure basal body temperature: Every morning after the end of menstruation, measure body temperature, sort out temperature change charts, and find out the days when body temperature rises. This day is most likely to be the ovulation period.
2. Test urine: You can confirm your ovulation period by testing the level of luteinizing hormone in your urine in the form of a disposable test strip.
3. Observe the secretion: During the ovulation period, a woman’s secretion will become thicker and the color will change. This can be judged by observing the secretion.
How to grasp the ovulation period
1. Understand their own situation: Women first need to understand their own physical situation, including the length of their menstrual cycle, the specific time of ovulation, etc., so that they can better grasp their own timing of conception.
2. Multi-faceted confirmation: Women can confirm their ovulation period through a variety of methods (such as basal body temperature, urine testing, secretion observation, etc.) to increase accuracy.
3. Pay attention to physical changes: Some physical changes, such as changes in cervical secretions and breast reactions, may be signals of ovulation. Women can use these changes to better judge their own ovulation timing.
Summary
The ovulation period is the time when pregnancy is most likely to occur. Women who are preparing for pregnancy need to control their ovulation time in order to better grasp the timing of conception. Symptoms of ovulation include increased basal body temperature, changes in cervical secretions, and breast sensitivity. Women can confirm their ovulation period by measuring basal body temperature, testing urine, observing secretions, etc., and pay attention to physical changes to better grasp the timing of ovulation.
