How to understand if ovulation has occurred
In order to understand whether ovulation has occurred,you need to listen carefully to your feelings. There are many indirect symptoms that may indicate the onset of this period of the menstrual cycle. You can also determine the onset of ovulation with a special test.
What is ovulation and when does it occur?
Ovulation is the release of an ovum from the ovary. As a rule, the egg ripens every month, but there are cases when during one menstrual cycle there is not one ovulation. There are also anovulatory cycles. If this happens several times a year, then it is considered normal. If the maturation and release of the egg from the ovary does not occur for 2-3 cycles, this may indicate the presence of very serious pathologies. Ovulation occurs, as a rule, 12-14 days before the onset of menstruation. If the cycle is regular and its duration is 26-29 days, then the maturation of the egg occurs just in the middle of the menstrual cycle. Using the calendar method, you can calculate the expected onset of ovulation. More precisely, it can be determined only with the help of special tests and medical examination, and also by analyzing your own sensations. Calculating ovulation is not a reliable method of contraception, but it helps to increase the chances of conception if a woman very much wants to become pregnant. How to diagnose the onset of ovulation
There are a number of features on which you candiagnose the output of the egg from the ovaries. As a rule, at this time, women notice an aggravation of sexual desire. 1-2 days before the onset of ovulation changes the nature of vaginal discharge. Experts say that during this period, vaginal mucus becomes more viscous, and its quantity increases. Some women note an increase in the sensitivity of the breast and the appearance of painful sensations in this area. Also may appear and pulling the pain in the lower abdomen. Such symptoms are often observed in the middle of the cycle. They can indirectly indicate the onset of ovulation. More accurately, the time of release of the ovum from the ovary can be determined by the daily measurement of basal temperature. This method is quite reliable. At the same time, measurements should be taken every morning without getting out of bed. During ovulation, the basal temperature rises sharply. If fertilization does not occur, the temperature starts to decrease smoothly after a few days. Many women find it convenient to determine ovulation with the help of special tests. They can be bought at a pharmacy. The principle of their action is similar to the principle of the action of tests for determining pregnancy. The indicator strip reacts to the presence in the urine of specific hormones, which the body begins to produce during ovulation. The most accurate method is to determine the yield of the ovum from the ovary with the help of ultrasound, and by using special tests. In order not to miss the moment of ovulation, you need to take tests every 2-3 days.
