The physiological structure of men and women is completely different, so our division of labor in fertility is also different!
Men are responsible for providing sperm, and since the testicles are generating new sperm every day, the supply of sperm is constant.
But women are different, the number of eggs provided by women is very limited, and there is a fixed period of time, which is what is clinically called the ovulation period, only on the day of ovulation, the ovaries will release 1-2 eggs.
Usually, a woman's ovulation day is actually the 14th day before the arrival of the next menstrual period, in order to avoid missing the ovulation day, so the clinic also adds up the first 5 and 4 days of the ovulation day for a total of 10 days, and is called the ovulation period.
In addition to using menstrual calculations and formulas to calculate the ovulation period, women will also have multiple changes in symptoms after entering the ovulation period. For example, when the following symptoms come to you, they are actually a signal that ovulation day is coming:
1. Poor appetite
Relevant research surveys have shown that in a complete menstrual cycle, the ovulation period is the worst stage of women's appetite. After entering the ovulation period, even if you are a "dry eater", you may also have symptoms such as decreased appetite and reduced meal volume.
Experts believe that this is a product of human natural instincts, because female animals during ovulation focus more on the opposite sex than on finding food, and appetite will naturally decrease;
2, strong energy and libido
These two are also inherited from the traditional natural instincts of human beings, in order to be able to get the attention of the opposite sex and improve the probability of conception during ovulation, so driven by this innate instinct, women will also become energetic and energetic.
Not only that, affected by the rapid changes in hormones in the body and the release of eggs, women's sexual desire during the ovulation period will be relatively strong;
3. Secretion changes
Usually after the end of menstruation, the amount of secretion in the female private parts is less, showing a milky white, viscous state. But as the ovulation period approaches, this situation changes, and the secretions of the woman's vagina will continue to increase, from a thick milky white to a thin and light milky white.
After the ovulation period, the vaginal discharge will increase significantly, showing a transparent cool state like water, women will obviously feel the vagina smooth and moist, wiped with paper can see a sticky strip like egg white. This increase in vaginal discharge usually lasts about 2-3 days and is the most fertile stage for women;
4. Elevated basal body temperature
The ovaries are not only responsible for ovulation, but they are also responsible for secreting various hormones that women need. After entering the ovulation period, as the eggs are released, the progesterone secretion in the woman's body also reaches a peak state that has not been seen before, which causes the woman's body temperature to rise slightly after ovulation.
Therefore, if a woman insists on taking her temperature every day during her menstrual cycle, she can detect subtle changes in body temperature and then determine the date of ovulation.
5. distension or pain in the lower abdomen
When a mature egg is released, it needs to pass through the surface of the ovaries, and it breaks through the membrane follicle on the side that surrounds its surface, and there is originally a small amount of liquid in the follicle, which in turn penetrates into the pelvic cavity and settles at the lowest point of the pelvic cavity after the follicle ruptures.
Affected by this change, women may experience a slight feeling of distention, and some women tend to feel a slight pain in their lower abdomen on one side.
The above symptoms find themselves, especially the obvious change in secretions, which is likely to be a signal of the arrival of the ovulation period.
Of course, women want to accurately calculate the day of ovulation, in addition to calculating and observing symptoms according to the formula, they can also choose ovulation test strip observation, which can accurately express the time of ovulation in women and further improve the probability of conception.
