Simple steps determining when you will ovulate aid in rapid conception. First of all chart your menstrual cycles with day one being the first day of bleeding. Over a period of three to six months look at the average number of days from day one to day one of the next cycle. This is your menstrual interval. The average is twenty eight but yours may be twenty six or thirty or some other multiple. Typically ovulation occurs fourteen days BEFORE the next expected menstrual period. If your cycles are thirty days that is day sixteen. A twenty-eight day interval would indicate ovulation on day fourteen.

Pay close attention to your vaginal discharge. It will we thin and clear in the follicular phase or the first half of your menstrual cycle after bleeding has ceased but before ovulation occurs. This is when the follicle is developing and estrogen is being produced in increasing amounts. Within a day or two of ovulation the cervical mucous will become copious and stringy. Also clear this cervical mucous gives your vaginal discharge appearance of an uncooked egg white. The perfect time for sexual intercourse is now. This mucous will fern under the microscope revealing the channels that guide the sperm into the uterine cavity. Once ovulation has occurred the vaginal discharge becomes milky indicating the production of progesterone.

 

A third indication of ovulation is a dull ache on one side of the pelvis usually lasting for twelve to eighteen hours. Termed Mittlesmirtz, this is ovulatory pain from release of the egg and a bit of fluid from the follicle. It is the fluid which irritates the peritoneum causing mild pain. Many women notice this pain with monthly regularity. It is important to note that it is better to have sex before this pain occurs so that sperm will be in the Fallopian tubes where fertilization occurs when the egg is released.

To get pregnant fast timing is important. With monthly charting of these events you will be able to predict when your next ovulation will occur ensuring that you and your partner will be together.
