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.

Why would you get vaginal sores during ovulation?
This is a fairly common problem with women. It is usually because the PH level of your body is out and you may have a high acid content in your system. Once your ovulation is over you should get rid of this. "Sits baths" (nothing in the water and be sure the water is body temperature) is a wonderful way to get rid of this irritation. If you find it is extremely bothersome, please see your physician and they can give you some cream for this. Marcy See the notice board 'What causes Vaginal Sores' too.
Could I get pregnant if intercourse was 6 days after ovulation?
No. It is impossible to experience pregnancy symptoms till the Embryo has implanted in your Uterus and begins releasing HCG. When the HCG is at a high enough level then you begin experiencing symptoms. It takes 8-12 days after intercourse for HCG to be relased. So narrow it down to 2 weeks and then you can test 3 weeks after intercourse.
What hormone is involved with ovulation?
In unfertilized ovum mainly progesterone (high quality) and low quantity of estrogen is released from the corpus leuteum (remaining part of the roptured follicle in ovary. This increased progesterone prepares the uterus for pregnancy.
If fertilization occur progesterone estrogen and hCG are released.
Failure rates for coitus interuptus, although somewhat difficult to ascertain, are thought to be as high as 25%. The problem is that pre-seminal fluid (pre cum) leaks from the penis prior to ejaculation. Even a small amount of pre-seminal fluid contain live sperm.
With no egg present, chances of pregnancy are 0. Though sperm do live in the human female for an estimated 3 days.
What is a woman's temperature when she is ovulating?
Its not the actual temperature that is important, but the rise in temperature. If you plot your temperature from day one (when your period starts) you should see a 0.2 degree centigrade rise at ovulation and you'll be fertile for a few days after that. Also if you have sex a few days before that you can get pregnant as the sperm stays alive for a few days.
Its important to take the temperature at the same time each day when it won't be affected by activity or drinking/eating hot/cold stuff. First thing in the morning is best.
If you're not seeing the rise and you're getting tired at the time you should ovulate then you are lacking in energy and need to change your diet.
Can one fall pregnant 4 days after her periods?
Hello. A woman can become pregnant any time throughout her reproductive years. Conceiving a baby during the time of your period is very unlikely because there simply isn't a egg in the correct position in which to be fertilized. A day before or a day after your period and you can conceive.
Sorry but the above statement is incorrect. The uterus releases one egg a month, the reason a woman goes into menses is to discard that egg. A woman can rarely release more than one egg a month but menses destroys any egg in the womb and gets rid of it through elimination in the period process. You are basically infertile 10 days from the last day of your period at which time around the 11-13 day a new egg is released and takes up occupation on the uterus wall. It is a myth that a woman can get pregnant at any time of her life, as it is also a myth that even a single sperm cell can impregnate a woman. It takes 50,000 sperm cells on average to have even a 50% chance of impregnation do to the hostile environment of the vagina. Less than that, less chance.
When mucus come out are you ovulating?
Cervical mucus changes are monitored for determining when ovulation occurs through the cervical mucus monitoring test. As your cycle progresses, your cervical mucus increases in volume and changes texture.
Before collecting a sample, be sure to wash your hands first in order to prevent the transmission of germs.
The most accurate way to collect your cervical mucus is to insert your finger into your vagina and circle your finger around your cervix or as close as you can to the cervix. This will allow you to actually collect the cervical mucus instead of just it's wetness.
Monitoring the changes in cervical mucus is the only method that will not require looking back to the past few cycles for analysis, and also provide reliable results that you can trust when trying to conceive. You can do this yourself by getting a sample of your cervical secretions and stretch it between 2 of your fingers (the thumb and index finger) to test for the consistency. Examining the changes in your cervical mucus can help you pinpoint your time of ovulation and increase your chances of pregnancy.
Before Ovulation (low chance of pregnancy):
The first few days following menstruation, there will be little or no discharge present. You will feel dryness around your vulva. During this time, chances of getting pregnant are low.
Approaching Ovulation (chance of pregnancy):
The first discharge that does appear should be moist or sticky and should be white or cream in color. In the finger test, the mucus should break easily. You will only be able to pull your fingers about 1 cm apart before it breaks. During this transition time, first the mucus will become cloudy and slightly stretchy during the finger test (this means that it will still break before the fingers are stretched all the way). As time progresses, the mucus will become greater in volume.
Right around ovulation (high chance of pregnancy):
At this stage, mucus resembles egg whites. It is the thinnest, clearest and most abundant at this point in the cycle. Finger testing will allow the mucus to stretch quite a ways (several centimeters) before it breaks (if it breaks at all). ) The amount of this thin mucus will steadily increase until you experience your 'mucus peak'. This is the last day of this period where the chance of conception is high. It is closely tied to ovulation. During this phase, the sperm's survival rate is higher. It can survive in cervical mucus for up to 72 hours, a significantly longer time than during the rest of the cycle.
After Ovulation (low chance of pregnancy):
After ovulation, there is a marked change in mucus appearance. It returns to the sticky stage (does not stretch during finger test) and there is again a feeling of dryness around the vulva.
One caution for this test is that sperm can be confused with the mucus secretions and you could make wrong assumptions. Also, vaginal infections, medication, and birth control can alter conditions and should be taken into consideration when examining any vaginal secretions.

What are causes of infertility in a woman?
There are many causes of infertility in women, but this should not allow us to forget that it may the man who is infertile. Men and women are each responsible for 40% of infertility in infertile couples and the remaining 20% is accounted for by mixed/joint factors. Semen analysis should be the first investigation to be done after a good history is taken by the doc, because it is cheap, easy and non-invasive.
Causes of infertility in a woman may be:
- Congenital, such as absent uterus as is the case in CAIS.
- Hormonal, which would prevent ovulation from taking place.
- Other metabolic imbalances, such as hyperthyroidism, liver disease, kidney disease, obesity and over-skininess (anorexia).
- Physical defects, such as fibroids in the uterus, a malformed uterus, etc. Blocked tubes due to infection is also a cause.

Remember that unless using fertility awareness method you can't know for sure when you are fertile and ovulating.
