There was this one time that I had experienced spotting midway through my cycle (about 13 days after my periods) and I remember freaking out completely. I hadn’t been on pills nor was I experiencing any kind of other health issues. So before consulting my doctor, I decided to do the obvious- I googled it! I found various websites but Parenthoodbliss website cleared all my doubt on spotting during pregnancy.

I’ll share a summary of what I learnt from the blog and my doctor’s appointment the other day

  • Estrogen is one of the most critical hormones in ovulation.
  • Initially, estrogen is low during your period and rises through the first part of the menstrual cycle.
  • When estrogen reaches its maximum it signals the release of the luteinizing hormone (where the ovary releases an egg).
  • As soon as the luteinizing hormone matches the level of estrogen, there is a swift drop in estrogen that destabilizes the endometrium, the lining of the uterus, and also causes a little shed off the lining.

Spotting during ovulation can be considered as a good indicator that your hormones are functioning as they should. The American Journal of Epidemiology has reported that the levels of estrogen, luteal progesterone, and luteinizing hormone (LH) during ovulation is higher in women who experience mid-cycle ovulation spotting.

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.
