What is a fertile day?There is a period before and after ovulation during which the probability of conceiving increases sharply.These are called fertile days.In this period of time the egg is completely ready to fertilize.
How to determine the fertile period
Of course, the very understanding of what a fertile day, shall not be of any use in practice.But if you know how to determine the most favorable for conception intervals can protect themselves from unwanted pregnancy or, conversely, to increase the probability of conceiving a baby.
determine when the fertile period in two ways.
- The color selections.Before ovulation, the mucus of the uterus becomes less dense and transparent.It is saturated with salts, glucose and protein, as a result creates an environment ideal for sperm.
- At body temperature.Before ovulation, basal body temperature of women increased by a few degrees by increasing levels of the hormone progesterone.To determine the temperature in the morning is best to raise the bed.It is recommended to make the measurements for several months for more accurate results.
worth noting that fertile day of the cycle can be displaced under the influence of adverse factors - such as lack of sleep, stress, alcohol and others.
How to measure the basal temperature
mainly basal temperature measured in the rectum, but it can also be measured in the mouth or vagina.You must use the same thermometer to carry out procedure and required every day (including during menses), at exactly the same time.
Calculate fertile days
To understand what a fertile day and how to define it, you need to know when you come ovulation.The most suitable time for conception is considered the last day before ovulation.And this is quite logical reasoning - the egg is ready for fertilization only a third of the day, and there are sperm a day or two, no more.And we need to calculate precisely when the conditions are favorable for conception, coincide.
First we need to keep a schedule of their menstrual cycle.This will help determine when you ovulate will come.And in focusing on it, you can easily calculate your fertile days.It is possible to conceive more likely about midcycle.For example, if the duration of 28 days, ovulation occurs on the 14th.
rules for calculating fertile days
- Over the course of the cycle necessary to keep for at least three to four months, and sometimes more, depending on the regularity of menstruation.
- the number of days in the menstrual cycle length must be subtracted from 11. The resulting number will be the last fertile day of the cycle.
- Next on the number of days in the shortest cycle necessary to take 18. As a result, you get the last fertile day.
If you know exactly what a fertile day and how to determine your chances of getting pregnant will increase many times over.The effectiveness of this method of calculation reaches 85-90%.
