Ovulation and its symptoms
The essence of the female physiological processovulation is when an egg ready for fertilization descends from the ovarian follicle into the abdominal cavity. The first ovulation begins in girls during puberty, and the last one occurs before the onset of menopause. During pregnancy, a woman's body does not produce new eggs, so ovulation does not occur during these months. Ovulation is a periodic process that repeats itself every 21-35 days, depending on the length of the menstrual cycle. This day falls in the middle of the cycle. The next menstruation is expected in 12-16 days. You can find out the day of ovulation by its characteristic symptoms. In some women, they are especially pronounced, some do not even notice them. It depends on the individual characteristics of each person's body.
Painful sensations in the lower abdomendays of ovulation where the ovaries are located, according to statistics, are observed in every fifth woman. Gynecologists explain the pain by the fact that the follicle stretches the walls of the ovary. Follicular fluid, which flows out with the egg, stimulates contractions of the fallopian tubes and uterus. Because of this, pain occurs sometimes on the right, sometimes on the left, since in one month the maturation of the Graafian follicle occurs in the right ovary, and in another month - in the left ovary. you can feel stabbing, cutting, cramping pain. It can last from 1 hour to 2 days. If the pain is too strong, seek help from a doctor. The second symptom, increased sexual desire, is provoked by minor contractions of the uterus. In addition, if you want to get pregnant, the day of ovulation itself pushes you to intimacy with your partner. You can determine ovulation by observing your body. A few hours before the egg release process begins, the cervix begins to actively produce more liquid than usual, stretchy discharge, similar to egg white. Increased activity of the secretory organs can continue for up to 2 days. In some women, the color of the discharge changes to reddish. This is due to minor bleeding when the follicle ruptures.
Conception and ovulation
The life span of an egg is only oneday, in 24 hours the sperm must have time to fertilize it. If this does not happen, you will have to wait until the next month before the desired pregnancy. Therefore, the day for fertilization is calculated according to the ovulation calendar, it is 7 days: 4 days before, 2 days after and the day of ovulation itself. Since the sperm can remain active in the female body for 5-7 days, these days will be the most favorable for conception.

If you do not feel the symptoms characteristic of ovulation, or the duration of the menstrual cycle is unstable, then it is difficult to calculate the calendar of days favorable for conception.

For the calculations to be correct, measurements must be taken every day in the morning at the same time.
