Typically, a woman ovulates 7-14 days after the first day of her period. For example, if your last period started on October 3, you would be in prime ovulation time between October 10-17. Due to the fact that every woman's body is different, it is possible to ovulate outside of that range. An easy way to determine ovulation is to pay attention to your vaginal secretions. When you notice that those secretions are the consistency of egg whites, stringy and clear, you most likely are in your fertile time. Such a consistency makes the vaginal environment more friendly to the reception of semen. The thick, "snotty" like mucus holds the semen inside the vagina, therefore increasing the chances of pregnancy.

WHen a woman gets into [contact with] cold water, the muscles in the lower abdomen tighten, decreasing the blood flow to very little. It's still there, but little enough to seem invisible or stopped.
