Ovulation

Ovulation is the release of a mature egg (or ovum) from one of the ovaries. It occurs about 14 days after the end of the last menstrual cycle. The egg travels down one of the fallopian tubes and is available for fertilization.

How many days does a woman ovulate?

Answer "how long do women ovulate"Women typically ovulate from the beginning of puberty (all eggs are fully formed at birth, and the change in hormone levels during puberty is what sets off the cycle of releasing them) approximately once every 28 days right up until menopause, which can occur as early as 30 years old, or as late as 60 (the average age for the onset of menopause is 51). It is important to note, however, that although women may be phsyically able to conceive well past middle age, it is very dangerous for both the mother and the fetus, and a condition called aneuploidy (incorrect number of chromosomes) occurs in 33% of pregnancies for women aged 35, and 50% for women aged 40. Also, when women are 25 the odds of having a child with Down Syndrome is 1 in 1,500; but at the age of 45 the odds are 1 in 30.

If I completely misread the question, and you just wanted to know how long the process of releasign one egg takes, there is a much simpler answer: it only takes a couple hours for the ovum to travel through the fallopian tubes, and the "fertile phase" consists of the few days (let's say, 4) BEFORE ovulation. The oocyte (egg) degenerates after 24 hours in the uterus if it has not been fertilized. Although the womb is a harsh place for anything but a fetus, sperm can survive for several days in there, thus, women are most fertile just before ovulation.

Numbers given are a bit pessimistic here's from the Down's Society page

Can a woman get pregnant on the day of ovulation?

Ovulation is a one day thing. To get pregnant you need to have sperm inside of your body waiting for the egg or you need to have sex the day of ovulation and at the latest the day after ovulation to become pregnant. Keep in mind sperm can live 3-5 days in ideal conditions inside of the woman's body. However, once the egg is released (ovulation occurs) the egg is only able to be fertilized for upto 24-36 hours and then expires. To become pregnant your best bet is to have sex the day before ovulation, the day of ovulation, and the day after ovulation. You are, however, considered fertile up to 4-5 days before ovulation occurs...due to the fact that sperm can survive in the reproductive organs of a woman for a few days.

If your 5 days past ovulation your cervix is high soft and barely reachable and you have creamy watery white mucus on your cervix you feel like your period has come but it hasnt what could that be?

Your cervix will usually lower and become more firm shortly after ovulation, but it can stay high and soft for quite some time for some people. If you are pregnant and it has come back down, it will move back up and become soft again. Most likely, yours just has not come down from ovulation. As far as the cramps--it could be early implantation, but it's still a little early for that, or it could be due to hormones. I had the same thing this cycle, from 2-6dpo, and of course 2dpo is way too early for implantation. Happy to help!

What triggers the ovaries to release egg?

  • The pituitary gland produces FSH which starts the development of a woman's egg cell in a follicle in one of the ovaries.
  • The ovary produces oestrogen which causes the thickening of the uterus lining.
  • The pituitary now produces LH which causes ovulation and stimulates the empty follicle to produce progesterone.
  • Progesterone causes the lining of the uterus to get thicker ready for the fertilised egg.
  • If the egg is not fertilised, production of oestrogen and progesterone stops, the lining of the uterus breaks down and menstruation occurs.

Can ovulation be detected if conception has occurred?

Yes, ovulation can be detected even if conception has occurred. Methods such as measuring basal body temperature or using ovulation predictor kits can indicate that ovulation took place. However, once conception occurs, hormonal changes will prevent further ovulation in the same cycle. Therefore, while ovulation can be confirmed, it won't be detected again until the hormonal levels change in subsequent cycles.
