Most Fertile Days
Every woman’s most fertile days
differ from one to the next. It truly depends on the woman’s cycle, whether
it be 28, 30, 35 days or more as to when she ovulates. For women with a
28-day cycle, the 14th day is often when ovulation occurs.
Let's side track a little here.
Knowing how long your cycle is and counting backwards is the best way to
"guesstimate" when ovulation "might" occur if you have a 10-14 day luteal
cycle. What that means is that it may be a long time from the
beginning of your monthly cycle to ovulation but it can only be so long from
ovulation until your period comes again. THAT part of the cycle is
reasonably measurable. It is not always 14 days but will not be more
than 18 days (almost always) without pregnancy having occurred.
An example of this is that a woman
with a 70 day cycle could count back wards and know that she most likely
ovulated between day 56 and day 60. A woman with a 25 day cycle, most
likely ovulated between day 11 and day 15. This is generally speaking
of course.
During this fertility rising time
your cervical mucus will change. Your cervical mucus increases in volume as
estrogen levels begin to rise. The role the increased mucus plays is to
nourish, protect and speed the sperm on its way up through the uterus to the
egg.
The most fertile days for any woman
are during the period spanning one to two days before ovulation to about 24
hours after ovulation has occurred. The reason for this is that the egg
only survives between 12 and 24 hours after it has been released. If you
have intercourse just prior and during ovulation, the chances of your
getting pregnant are optimal. These can be considered your most fertile
days of the month.
If you have intercourse during your
most fertile days of the month and you are a healthy woman with no
reproduction problems, you have a 25% chance of getting pregnant each
month. You can increase your chances of getting pregnant by pinpointing
exactly when it is that you ovulate. You can also use this knowledge as a
form of natural birth control to avoid pregnancy.
Help Determining Your Most
Fertile Days
If all of this sounds
confusing and you simply are having trouble determining when your most
fertile days take place, then you should consider getting a fertility
monitor. A fertility monitor can accurately pinpoint when it is that you
ovulate up to 98%. There are two types of fertility monitors on the market,
one that tests your urine for LH levels and one that tests the estrogen
levels in your saliva. The latter type is the most convenient to use.
