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.

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.

How do you calculate your ovulation days?

The generic answer is 14 days after the 1st day your last period began on. No one should rely on this because there are many variables, all it takes is for your cycle to be irregular by 1 day on 1 month to get pregnant. Do you know what everyone who uses the rhythm method of birth control gets called sooner of later? Parents. This is called 'Fertility control' for contraception, but it can also be used for calculating your fertile time for conceiving.

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.

Does ovulation come before or after period?

You ovulate anywhere from your 10th day of your cycle to your 20th depending on your body. You ovulate usually shortly AFTER your period. Discharge changes to an egg white thick mucous and that is your most fertile time.

When is the day that a female is ovulating?

Ovulation is usually 14 days AFTER your period, if you have a 28 day cycle. Always calculate fertile days to start 8-10 days after period and last for about one week. So if you want to get pregnant, aim at days 10-17 after period. If you don't want to get pregnant, use protection during these days. (FYI: Check for white discharge. It's a signal that you are in FERTILITY phase).

Can the Y sperm survive two days to ovulation?

It is safe. Starting the first day of ovulation count a 28 day cycle. on the 15-15 day the new egg is released. Closer to the next ovulation is one of the safest times to have sex.

What does it mean if you ovulated late and had white or clear discharge five days after ovulation?

I don't think it means anything, Usually a whitish or clear discharge means that you are going through ovulation. Remember you can get pregnant before or right after ovulation. I believe you can have whitish (sometimes lotiony) discharge for a day or two a few days after ovulation because of estrogen surges. I just bought the book "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" by Toni Weschler---it's got a great explanation of what happens during your cycle and how to predict your fertility, whether you're trying to conceive or want to guard against getting pregnant.

It could mean that your vagina is cleansing right before your next period is due. I experienced the same thing a day after sex, and then i had a regular period. It could also mean that you're not ovulating. Ovulating is when the mucus is clear, slippery and very stretchable.

It is called spinbarkeit. It is cervical mucus that is most welcoming to sperm while you are ovulating, helping you become pregnant.

Early in pregnancy, you'll probably experience a thin, milky white discharge. Called "leucorrhoea," this substance will increase during pregnancy and is completely normal.

The clear discharge is a sign ovulation is near within the next day or two, a white discharge is a sign ovulation has passed. Don't get yourself stressed from the other answer above, discharge is NOT a sign of not ovulating and is not cleaning out you vagina for your next period. That is why we have periods is to clean everything out.

Do women lactate during period?

Could i be pregnant if you have been off the depo for a month and have already had a period?

The possibility of becoming pregnant while on Depo-Provera is minimal. With every birth control it takes 7 days to begin functioning in the body. If you used protection on your first week then I'd say no worries because since you have only a month on it, your body's menstrual cycle may change.

If you take an ovulation test and it never came up positive could you be pregnant?

I've done some research on this and apparently ovulation tests will come out positive if you are pregnant. As i understand it, ovulation tests pick up LH and HCG alike -- they don't differentiate. Pregnancy tests, however, only pick up HCG.

You used the pull out method during ovulation What are the chances you could be pregnant?

well the pull out method, there is still a chance because semen doesnt just come out during orgasm, its leaks out during intercourse. by pulling out all you are doing is reducing the amount of semen that will get inside. and even a very small amount is still enough for pregnancy. but the pill if used properly, may prevent it. but it has to be taken everyday to avoid any chance at getting pregnant. just follow the instructions. *** a good way to avoid pregnancy is using a condom and using the pill.***

What If you miss three birth control pills?

your period might start if you miss three pills. if that is the case, do not take any more pills until the period has ended. if you do take the pills it will make you bleed a tiny bit each day for a very long period of time. If your period did not start, then I suggest taking two pills in one day, and then continue taking them regularly each day after that. if you think you might need to take a plan b, then take it asap.

How long after you ovulate are you still fertile?

well If you take the pill do not worry if you forget it start worrying

even though you are on the pill; you can still become pregnant not all Birth controls are always active. Some do fail. I know a woman who took the pill and got pregnant, she took the shot and got pregnant; and she tried the patch, *& guess what... She got pregnant. She now has 4 kids. However i would just wait for the missed period. When that happens take a home test or go to the doctor.

How can you calculate your ovulation if your cycle is anywhere from 26 to 31 days?

It depends if you are wanting to get pregnant or avoid pregnancy. If you are trying to avoid pregnancy I think you have to be very careful with your contraception and not use the 'safe' period. If you are trying to get pregnant don't worry, my cycle was like this and I got pregnant the first month. You just have to have lots of sex over 2 weeks. Problem, what problem?
