When it comes to pregnancy preparation, it is inevitable to talk about the ovulation period, but some women do not even know what the ovulation period is, and some women say that they do not know how to use ovulation test strips, nor do they know other methods of ovulation measurement, no wonder they will not get pregnant for a long time under all normal circumstances.
As far as my friend's sister, just reached the age of marriage, still looks like a child, and really does not understand anything, on a group of us chat, talking about their pregnancy in the past, she said the following sentence: Why do you all have ovulation, I did not? I'm pregnant for half a year and still not pregnant?
Hearing this sentence really makes people laugh until they can't stop.
What is the ovulation period?
The ovulation period is actually a dangerous period when the couple has not yet planned to have children, because the probability of pregnancy is very high during the same room during ovulation.
So, figuring out the day of ovulation when trying to conceive is important for pregnancy, and we know that women can only release one egg per month, and in rare cases will release two.
But the egg in the body to survive for 1-2 days, if you want to get pregnant, you must find a way to make the sperm and the egg meet, if you miss it, you can only wait for the next month.
The ovulation period is a period of time, which is the day of ovulation and the first 5 days and 4 days after the ovulation day, for a total of 10 days.
When we know the ovulation period, sperm is relatively easier to obtain than eggs, and the time to survive in the female body is longer than the egg, so you can wait for your crush ~ Miss Egg before ovulation or early on the day of ovulation.
So how to measure ovulation?
There are several ways to measure ovulation, and you can choose one that suits you when needed.
The first method, the date calculation method
Usefulness
This method is to calculate ovulation through your own menstrual cycle, as long as the menstrual cycle is normal.
The calculation method is also very simple, that is, from the next menstrual period to move forward 14 days, for example, the next menstrual period is the 20th of the next month, then the 6th is the ovulation day.
The reason why the ovulation day can be calculated so accurately is that in a menstrual cycle, if the ovulation day is used as the intermediate point, the period before ovulation is the time when the follicle grows and matures, that is, the follicle period, but its time will change.
The period after ovulation to before the next menstrual period is called the luteal phase, and the time of the luteal phase is relatively fixed, generally 12 to 14 days.
Therefore, as long as the menstrual cycle is normal, it is more practical to use this date deduction algorithm.
And there is no super economy, and a dime does not have to be spent.
The second method is the secretion observation method
Usefulness
In fact, in the heart of the lazy mother, the use of this method is definitely more than 4 stars, but some women have less secretions, and this method does not work at all, so it can only be downgraded.
Secretion observation method is actually to judge ovulation by observing the changes in women's secretions after menstruation.
Under normal circumstances, there will be more secretions after the aunt is gone, but at this time, the secretions are more watery and very thin, and with the arrival of ovulation day, these secretions will gradually become viscous and elastic.
When it is found that the secretions become as continuous as egg whites, it means that after about a day, it will be ovulating.
The third method is the ovulation test strip test method
Ovulation dipsticks predict ovulation by detecting peaks of luteinizing hormone in the urine.
The use of ovulation test strips is also very simple, starting on the 11th day of the menstrual cycle, once a day.
Put one end of the ovulation test strip in the urine for 3--5 seconds, do not exceed the marker line, then take it out and lay flat, 5--10 minutes or so to see the results, and then judge whether to ovulate according to the test line.
If the color of the test line is light, it is negative and there is no ovulation.
If the color of the test line is darker, the same as the control line, or darker than the color of the control line, it is positive, and it will generally ovulate after 24 hours and can start working.
If the test line fades from dark, ovulation has begun.
But keep the following points in mind when using ovulation test strips:
Do not use morning urine, generally use urine before 10 am to 8 pm, and preferably the middle part of the sample.
It is best to measure at the same time every day.
Do not drink water for two hours before sampling.
The container containing the sample must be kept clean.
After more than half an hour of use, it has been invalidated and cannot be used as a criterion for judgment.
When the test is positive, the test time should be shortened, and it is best to test once every 2 to 4 hours.
It is best to take pictures of all the test strips so that you can compare them every day.
The fourth method, the B-ultra monitoring method
In fact, this is the best way to work, the reason why I got 3 stars is because this method is a bit troublesome, you have to go in and out of the hospital often, and the cost of doing b ultrasound is much higher than that of other methods.
This method is actually to monitor the growth of follicles through b ultrasound, usually starting from the 10th day of the menstrual cycle.
Tests are sufficient for the first 2 days, once a day when the follicle diameter reaches 16 mm, and when the follicle matures, it can proceed as planned.
Another method is to measure body temperature and then judge ovulation according to the change in body temperature, but this method takes a long time and is not recommended.
When ovulation is accurately measured, it is not a problem to get pregnant smoothly.
