How to know ovulation cycle

Pregnancy is most likely 12 to 24 hours after ovulation. Whether you are planning to prepare or prevent pregnancy, tracking your ovulation period is helpful.

 
Method 1: basic body temperature test
1) You need to buy a thermometer to check your basic temperature which is your lowest temperature in 24 hours.
2) Record the basic body temperature every day for several months, and remember to test it at the same time every day. Rectal and vaginal readings may provide more accurate readings, and a consistent method should be used to ensure consistency no matter which method you choose for body temperature measurement.
3) Look for temperature peaks. Most women's ovulation cycle will rise within three days so you need to track your own temperature to determine the highest temperature of each month to predict when you are ovulating.
4) Predict ovulation day. After you have recorded your own values continuously, once you have determined the appropriate rise, you can predict the ovulation date or time.) Two to three days before this temperature rise, dark brown is often a market of a coming ovulation day.
5) Understand the limitations of the method. Although you've been tracking your own values, you should also be aware that there are situations where there are errors. Changes in circadian rhythms, lack of sleep, drinking, and increased stress all affect the measurements.

 
Method 2 check cervical mucus

1. You should start to check the cervical mucus in the morning. Remember to keep your fingers clean, and then start to check the mucus. Record the characteristics of mucus.

• During menstruation, your body will expel menstrual blood, including uterine lining and unfertilized eggs.
• Within three to five days of menstruation, women are less likely to be pregnant.
• Turbid cervical mucus, during which women are less likely to be pregnant.
• white, beige or yellow "butter like" emissions with consistency similar to cream or lotion. At this stage, although women do not achieve the highest fertility, they are more fertile.
• The thin, elastic, watery mucus of an egg white. In general, it means that women start ovulation. This kind of "egg white" cervical mucus is very fertile, which can provide nutrition for sperm and make it the most fertile stage for women.
• After these stages, the secretion will return to the initial state, which is a cycle.

2. It will take you several months to record, while tracking cervical mucus and basal body temperature will help you determine the time of ovulation.

 
Method 3 use ovulation test paper to test
1) Most of the shopping points or supermarkets have the ovulation test paper Kit (OPK), which is used to test the LH value in the body through urine. Compared with tracking the basic body temperature or cervical mucus, the ovulation test paper can determine the ovulation time more accurately. MomMed provides you with an ovulation test with an accuracy of 99% and a urine cup without extra charge.

2) Pay attention to your menstrual cycle. Ovulation usually occurs about half of the menstrual cycle.
3) Test your urine every day, follow the instructions, and test at the same time every day to avoid too high or insufficient water in the urine.
4) Understand the test results. Lines close to the color of the control line usually indicate an increase in LH levels, which means you have a good chance of ovulation.
Lines that are lighter than the control line usually indicate that you have not ovulated. If you use OPK multiple times without any positive results, consider consulting an infertility specialist to rule out infertility.
5) Understand the limitations of the test paper. Usually the test paper is accurate, but it will also be affected by the test time.
 
Method 4 use a calendar
1) Understand your cycle. This method is used to predict the fertility date. Most regular women have a period of 26-32 days, and the cycle change is normal.
2) Draw a periodic chart of at least 8 cycles. Using the regular calendar, circle the first day of each cycle. Calculate the number of days per cycle, but do not use this method if you find that your cycle is shorter than 27 days.
