If you are planning your pregnancy it will help you to get some basic facts right. If you pay enough attention to ovulation period, nature will ensure that you don’t have to try too hard for conceiving. You are most fertile when you ovulate. And this most fertile phase lasts for 24 hours only. So if you make use of this period for baby making sex, your attempts might be rewarded satisfactorily. It all boils down to whether you have intercourse during that fertile stage.
Knowing your ovulation can save you from mental trauma, if there are no other medical complications. You can detect your ovulation period with the help of ovulation predictor kits. Actually you can go for other methods too, like BBT (basal body temperature), by counting days of your menstrual cycle or by paying attention to the mucus discharge in your genital tracts but conducting ovulation tests pinpoints ovulation fairly accurately.
We all know that ovary discharges the ripest egg into fallopian tube and this phenomenon is called ovulation. Ovulation means that now your egg is ready to unite with a sperm if one comes along. But ovulation doesn’t happen on its own; many hormones are released into your body, which make ovulation possible. Ovulation test kits use one of these hormones to detect the ovulation. When you are about to ovulate, approximately 36 hours prior to that, the level of luteinising hormone (LH) increases in your urine. This surge in LH can be spotted by ovulation test kits in your urine. Ovulation test kits are more reliable than BBT and easier to use. The best thing is they can tell you in advance about your readiness to conceive!
Before using an ovulation test kit take a stock of the length your menstrual cycle. If it is 28-day cycle, start using the ovulation test kit from the 11th day and continue using it for six days or for as many days as instructed on your ovulation test kit. Pay attention to the timings of the ovulation tests too. Mornings are not the perfect time for ovulation tests. Because your body produces LH (luteinising hormone) early in the morning and it won’t be in your urine at that time. Afternoons are the best time for ovulation tests. But stick to the same testing time every day. The results will be less confusing for you and the ovulation test kit!
