Ovulation in women is a short period of the menstrual cycle, when the possibility of conception of a child is as high as possible. A newborn girl already has about one million sex cells in the ovaries. After puberty, her monthly leaves one or two eggs. For a short time they become ready for fertilization. It is the period when a mature egg goes into the fallopian tubes, called ovulation. Only from this moment is it possible to conceive a child.
As a rule, ovulation in women is accompanied by maturation of only one ovule, but there are exceptions. With excessive production of hormones in one period of the menstrual cycle, one sex cell can be produced in each ovary. Both eggs are healthy and can be fertilized. If this happens, then twins or even triplets are born. But the genotype in newborns, unlike the twins, will be absolutely different.
After menopause, as well as during the period of gestation, ovulation in women stops. After pregnancy, the reproductive system re-enters the usual pace. But it is noticed that after childbirth or abortion the rhythm of ovulation changes. This happens after 45 years, when the female body starts preparing for the onset of menopause.
So when does ovulation occur in women? It is considered that this happens on the 14th day from the beginning of the menstrual cycle. But still this phenomenon is exclusively individual and is determined by the peculiarities of the organism's work. Ovulation can occur a few days earlier if the woman's cycle is short. It happens that the egg leaves on the 18-19th day with a longer cycle.
Ovulation in women is calculated in several ways. The most popular method is calendar. To determine the most favorable for the conception of the day, it is necessary for 4-5 months to regularly mark the beginning and end of the month. So you can set the average duration of your cycle. If it is 28 days, then a suitable day for conceiving a child is the 14th. Much more difficult when the cycle is irregular. Then this method becomes inefficient.
In fact, the moment when a woman is ovulating does not go unnoticed. There are a number of features that make it easy to recognize. You need to focus on your own feelings. So, the body can give a signal as the release of the egg into the fallopian tubes, and the completion of ovulation. If you carefully follow the changes in the body, then you can calculate these moments. Most women note that on the day of ovulation, the amount and consistency of mucus secretion varies. It becomes more. By color and composition, it resembles egg white. Determine the moment of ovulation, measuring basal temperature. Its increase is associated with the production of the hormone progesterone, which is responsible for maintaining pregnancy at the earliest. Symptoms of the organism's readiness for conception can be pain in the chest, in the lower abdomen and in the lower back. These feelings cause the process of release of the egg. Pain can last from several hours to 2-3 days.
