How to calculate ovulation by the calendar method

Menstruation (lat. Month) - rejection of the mucous membrane of the uterus wall, accompanied by bleeding. The first day of the appearance of blood discharge is considered the beginning of the menstrual cycle. To calculate its duration, it is necessary to make marks from the first day of the beginning of the bleeding until the first day of the onset of the following. We calculate the approximate date of the exit of the egg - by the first day of the beginning of the period you need to add the duration of the menstrual cycle and take away from the figures received 13 days ago.

It is important - by virtue of physiology, the arrival of ovulation is possible for 2-3 days earlier or later received the date. But, if you consider that after hitting a spermatozoa to the uterine cavity, he can wait for "meetings" with an egg to 4 days, planning conception is needed within 5 days.

How to calculate ovulation - measurement of basal temperature

There is an additional way to find out the arrival of ovulation - produce daily measurements of basal temperature. The final indicators will fully depend on the occurring phase:

• At the ripening stage, the basal temperature has low indicators, about 35.8 - 36.3 degrees.
• During ovulation, there is a sharp jump raise from 37.2 to 37.5 degrees. If menstrual bleeding has not come, and the basal temperature remains steadily at high indicators for 15 days, it is possible with a probability of 90%, to judge the successful occurrence of pregnancy.

We remind you that the diagnosis is carried out every morning without getting out of bed. For measurements it is better to use a mercury thermometer, holding his tip in the rectum for 5-7 minutes.

• During the release period of ripened egg in the female body rises latinizer Hormone, to which the strip immediately reacts and issues a positive result.
• Test strip - has a tissue layer impregnated with a reagent located on a plastic substrate. For holding you need to lower the strip in the urine for 5-6 seconds and wait for the final result. The arrival of the onset of ovulation is the manifestation of 2 red lines.
• Cassette test - intended mainly for women with regular failures in the menstrual cycle. To issue a result of a reagent one drop of urine, it is very convenient, because you do not have to collect liquid into a separate container. The arrival of ovulation is the manifestation of the reagent in the form of two bright red lines on the display.
• How to determine the first day of testing - take away 10 days from the day of the menstrual cycle. For example, if the full cycle is 24 days, then 24-10, it will turn out 14 day of the cycle - this is the first day of starting testing.

Thus, 5-6 hours before the launch of the egg in the abdominal cavity, you can already know that today your body is fully prepared for fertilization. The accuracy of the test is high and reaches about 95%.
