Premenstrual syndrome (PMS)

Speaking in medical terms, which is used in most reference books, ovulation it’s a process when ready to fertilize egg leave the follicle an get into the abdominal cavity with subsequent promotion of fallopian tubes to the uterus itself. The first ovulation occurs slightly later than the beginning of puberty, the last – after the extinction of menstrual function during climax. During pregnancy, ovulation does not occur, but after the birth, it is restored.

Ovulation in women of childbearing age occurs periodically (every 21-35 days).
There are several subjective signs that a woman at this particular time is ovulate. These include short-term and slow abdominal pain, increased mucus, allocated by the cervix, lowering the temperature in the mouth or vagina. In addition, some women during ovulation have a very sharp sexual attraction to the partner, which was caused by the action of hormonal substances. However, all these signs can not be completely accurate.

Objectively, there are two methods for determining of ovulatory period. First, it’s ultrasonic monitoring of the follicle and its rupture (ovulation itself) development. Secondly, the definition of the dynamic nature of hormonal substances in the urine. The latter method can be used at home with the help of special tests recommended by your doctor.

Techniques used to establish ovulation, mostly for those women who want to become pregnant because the possibility of pregnancy exists only a few days – before, during and after the fact of ovulation.

However, not all that simple, if you plan to avoid pregnancy by calculating the “dangerous days”. Nature is much smarter than all mathematics. As a result of severe mental strain or stress there can occur not only the shift of the ovulation day, but even one more ovulation, during one menstrual cycle matures not one but two eggs.

For every women, standing ovulatory rhythm is changing within 3 months after the abortion, within one year after childbirth, and after 40 years, when the body is preparing for pre-menopausal.

The ovulation stops during the pregnancy and after the extinction of the menstrual function. Establishing the period of ovulation is important in selecting the most effective time for fertilization, artificial insemination and in vitro fertilization.

Ovulation is the process when eggs come out from the ovary. As a rule this process takes place at the 14th day of the cycle, but this is very individual feature that depends on the cycle length, periods’ regularity, etc. If your menstrual cycle is regular and lasts 28 days, most likely you will experience the ovulation on the 14th day.

The symptoms of ovulation can be easily missed. The ovulation is preceded by light and clear secretions from your vagina. They much resemble the raw egg whites. Later, when ovulation finishes, you may see that vaginal secretions became heavier and got whiter mate structure. Also the secretions can disappear at all. After this period the chances to get pregnant become less.

The slight growth of basal temperature is also may be a sign of the ovulation. To define ovulation you should measure the basal body temperature regularly by using special digital thermometer made for this purpose. The best time for measuring basal body temperature is in the morning before getting out from bed. Two – three days before the raise of temperature is the best period of your fertility. Some women experience slight abdominal cramps before the ovulation.

Also there are some ovulation kits that are available on a market. They detect specific hormones in your urine that indicate ovulation.
The doctors advise to have sex once a day during the period before, during and after ovulation. Such sexual activity will increase the chances to get pregnant.
