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.

After conception does your temperature rise immediately or can it take a few days?

The moment you ovulate you body starts to manufacture progesterone to protect the impending pregnancy. Your basal temperature would raise by 1 degree from one morning to the next once ovulation has occurred. (i.e. Wed. 97.5, Thurs. 98.7) This proves you ovulated. You still have to wait the standard time to see if the egg is fertilized and implants.

It is important to remember that not all women will see a thermal shift of exactly 1 degree F, the thermal shift could be delayed and not occur immediately after ovulation, and that the methodology used to detect the BBT can greatly influence the temperature reading.

When is pregnancy possible on a 28 day cycle Starting day day 1 is the 1st day of period bleeding?

During a 28 day cycle a woman will typically ovulate sometime between days 12-16, and she will be fertile for up to a week beforehand when there is fertile quality cervical mucus present (this mucus helps sperm reach the fallopian tubes and can help keep sperm alive in the vagina for up to a week).

It is however important to understand that unless you're tracking your cycles with Fertility Awareness Methods then you cannot accurately determine when you are fertile - as cycles can change you could be fertile at any time without realising it, so if you are TTC use Fertility Awareness Method, and if attempting to prevent unintended pregnancy use birth control (FAM can be used as birth control too).

AnswerHello -

Im really not sure what could be causing the bleeding. Spotting can be releated to pregnancy or UTI and some women have claimed to experience spotting when ovulating but Im really not sure myself.

Because the spotting isn't your actual period then its still possible to get pregnant. As this spotting is abnormal for you, see your doctor for a investigation into the cause of your bleeding. Good luck.

What are the chances of getting pregnant during ovulation if he just puts it in for a couple of strokes but it was after he came in a condom?

Very High. Too high to mess around with. After he has ejaculated inside of a condom, semen remains on the inside and the outside of his penis. If he then takes the condom off and puts it right back in you, it's basically just as bad as if he never put one on in the first place! In general, great care should be taken to make sure that his semen never gets anywhere near your vaginal opening, including the come that remains inside of his penis for up to a few hours after ejaculation.

Careful ladies!

Can you fall pregnant on the last day of ovulation?

Technically the ovum (egg) needs to be fertilised within 24 hours of it being released for it to become a pregnancy. The trigger for release is a rise in a certain hormone which "ripens" the egg. Your cervical mucus changes as this hormone begins to rise in anticipation of fertilisation. The cervical mucus can also keep the sperm alive long enough for it to meet the egg. Therefore women are said to "fertile" over about a 3-4 day period. Unfortunately you cannot tell how soon after you begin the period will the egg actually be released. It is USUALLY about three days - but can be two or four or even five days. I am not actually sure how you are judging your ovulation period, but theoretically you can get pregnant the day after. Ovulation isn't an exact science and when you ovulate can change month-to-month. I actually fell pregnant 4 days after I thought I was "fertile" - so you can never tell.

Is it normal if you are trying to conceive and your cervix is low soft and open with thick white discharge during the middle of your cycle?

What is ovulation and how do you try and avoid pregnancy?

Ovulation is when an egg is released and attaches to the wall of the vagina. (When it is ferilized, this is how someone becomes pregnant.) Every woman ovulates at a different time of the month. You can get pregnant whether you're ovulating or not, but it's way more likely if you are.

Could this be implantation if five days after ovulation and I am spotting a watery red liquid and I have an urge to urinate often but it is very little when I go accompanied by an itching?

That doesn't sound like pregnancy. Implantation a woman can have spotting but not watery red liquid. It's very light spotting and it's not accompanied by itching. It sounds to me like an infection. Any type of itching in the vaginal area isn't normal and you should go see a doctor asap to figure out what's going on down there. Go see a doctor immediately okay? Hope you'll be okay and take care of yourself. Sounds like you have thrush huni...you can get a cream & tablet to sort it out. Get your fella to use the cream too coz you can clear it up and he can give it back (blokes dont generally suffer from it but can carry the infection!) x

Is there any chance you're pregnant even if your basal temp maintained the lower range throughout the month which shows that there is no ovulation due to no surge in temp which is very unusual?

Basal body temperature (BBT) charting is a good way to get to know your body's menstrual cycle ups & downs. Remember however, that BBT charting is only accurate if you have had at least 4 hours of uninterrupted sleep and you took your temperature immediately after you awake and before you get up out of bed and you use a BBT thermometer. With that being said, let's briefly discuss what the BBT charting will show you. A normal, healthy woman should see a biphasic BBT chart. That means you should have a chart at the end of the month that shows two distinct temperature groupings with one being higher than the other. This biphasic appearance means that the phases of your menstrual cycle are happening fairly normally and that for the most part, all your hormones are functioning normally. The first part of your BBT chart should have temperatures that are slightly lower than the 2nd half of your chart. The lower temp's are due to the estrogen heavy 1st half of your cycle; the higher temp's are due to the progesterone heavy 2nd half of your cycle. Ovulation will occur as a slight increase in temp over 24 hours (up to 0.5 degrees) about midway through your cycle. Once you have ovulated and the 2nd half of your menstrual cycle starts to kick in, you should see a rise in temperature that will remain elevated until your period starts. On the day your period starts or the day before, you may notice a drop in your BBT. This most likely means you are not pregnant. If your BBT remains elevated for approximately 18 days in a row after ovulation and you miss your period, you are most likely pregnant.
