How to accurately determine your ovulation period?
For female friends who want to get pregnant, it is very important to accurately determine the ovulation period. So, how to accurately determine your ovulation period? This article will elaborate on it from 4 aspects.
Monitor body temperature
Temperature monitoring is an easy way to determine ovulation. Women should measure their temperature at the same time every morning after getting up without strenuous activity or eating. Before ovulation, a woman\’s body temperature is usually between 36.5-36.7°C, while after ovulation, the body temperature tends to rise by about 0.2-0.5°C. Therefore, the day or the next day when the body temperature rises is the ovulation period. However, it should be noted that body temperature monitoring needs to be recorded continuously in order to accurately predict ovulation.
Use ovulation test strips
Ovulation test strips are a commonly used and convenient way to monitor ovulation. Women are tested every day before menstruation. This test strip can detect whether the urine contains LH hormone, which usually indicates ovulation within 24-36 hours. When a strong positive result appears on the test paper, it indicates that a woman is about to enter the ovulation period. Then we can arrange fertility or safe period measures and adjust the pregnancy plan according to the prompts of the ovulation test paper.
Observe vaginal secretions
Changes in vaginal secretions are also a way to determine ovulation. Usually women will experience varying degrees of discharge changes and different colors before and after ovulation. When the cervical mucus secretions become clear and stretchy, the ovulation period is about to begin, which is the most fertile time.
Titration method for egg detection
Titration egg detection is a highly accurate and unique method for determining ovulation. After each menstrual cycle, women titrate LH in their urine on days 13, 14, and 15. When the concentration is higher, ovulation can be determined. Although this method is more troublesome, women whose body temperature does not fluctuate strongly or who do not want to use convenient test strips can try this method.
Summary
Determining the ovulation period is very important. For the special matter of pregnancy, accurately determining the ovulation period can help us plan a pregnancy plan. This article introduces four different ovulation period determination methods. I hope you can find your own suitable method. I would also like to remind everyone that even after the above judgment, you still need to combine your personal situation and the doctor\’s advice to ensure that you can safely decide on the next family planning plan.
