1. The menstrual cycle of the woman is considered from the first day of periods to first day following. It averages twenty eight days, however its length can vary from twenty one to thirty five days. Approximately for the fourteenth or fifteenth day of a cycle there is also an ovulation – from follicles there is an ovum ready to fertilization.
2. You can calculate the ovulyatsionny period by means of a usual calendar card. Celebrate in it start date of monthly and count two weeks. Also visitors of clinics for women are free of charge given often special calendar cards of accounting of a menstrual cycle with which it is very simple to work.
3. Buy the test for definition of the ovuyatsionny period – they are on sale practically in each pharmacy. Its work is based on availability of lyuteniziruyushchy hormone which can be found in urine only at this time. If the test yielded positive result, so the ovulyatsionny period came.
4. Daily measurement of basal body temperature (body temperatures in a vagina or in a rectum) will help you to define the beginning of an ovulation. Every morning take temperature. If you found slight increase (approximately by 0.2 degrees), so there was an ovulation.
5. At approach of the ovulyatsionny period also the nature of allocations from a vagina changes. If to an ovulation they were dense and sticky, then at this time become almost transparent.
6. Remember that you can become pregnant not only directly during the ovulyatsionny period. Spermatozoa can keep activity in a female genital tract within five-seven days. Probability of pregnancy and within three days after approach of an ovulation is high. Consider these factors when planning conception of the child or choosing means of protection from unwanted pregnancy.
