It is said that having sex during ovulation is better, as it helps to increase the success rate of conception. However, for women with irregular menstruation, it seems difficult to know their ovulation period. So, besides being able to determine ovulation period by calculating menstrual time, how do women know if they have ovulated?
How do women know if they are ovulating or not
In fact, there are two main methods to determine whether one has ovulated or not: one is to judge based on some symptoms, and the other is to use external tools to judge. Ovulation period generally refers to the 10-15 days after menstruation as the ovulation period. If a woman's menstrual cycle is abnormal, it can appear transparent and increase in volume through the color of vaginal discharge. Of course, it can also be done through basal body temperature recording method, that is, the body temperature during the morning when there is no activity is consistently low in the pre ovulation period, and significantly increases by about 0.20-0.5 ℃ after ovulation, which continues until menstruation arrives.
If there are no obvious symptoms, a safer method is to contact ovulation test strips to test for ovulation. There are ovulation test strips available on the market that can be purchased for self testing. Place the test strip in your own urine. If two red lines appear on the "small window" of the test strip, it indicates that ovulation is about to occur. This method requires multiple consecutive detections to avoid inaccurate testing due to errors.
There is also a situation where ultrasound and ovulation detection devices are used to observe changes in follicle diameter through ultrasound. After ovulation, follicles disappear, and continuous monitoring shows that follicles continue to grow before ovulation. When the largest follicle disappears, it indicates ovulation has occurred. Ovulation detector refers to the detection that starts on the second day of menstruation, with the oral sensor placed on the tongue for 3 seconds each time. After a few days, the screen of the instrument will indicate ovulation in advance. However, these two detection methods are relatively expensive and cumbersome, so they are not common.
What is the success rate of female ovulation and conception
And people's understanding of sexual intercourse during ovulation is that the success rate of conception during ovulation is higher than at other times. So what is the reality? Sperm can survive in the female body for about 3-5 days, while eggs can survive for 2-3 days after being expelled. Having sexual activity on or around the day of ovulation is the easiest time to conceive, usually around 14 days after the first day of the last menstrual cycle. However, this also needs to take into account the health status of both men and women, as well as the quality and quantity of sperm and eggs, and the results may vary.
