Ovulation cycle period
The fertile period starts at the menarche (first menstrual period) and ends with the menopause. As ovulation cycle approaches, the blood supply to the ovary increases and the ligaments contract, pulling the ovary closer to the Fallopian tube, allowing the egg, once released, to find its way into the tube. Just before ovulation, a woman’s cervix secretes an abundance of clear “fertile mucous” which is characteristically stretchy.
Ovulation occurs halfway through the cyclesometime around the fourteenth day of the standardizes 28-day menstrual cycle (which, by the way, may be standard but is by no means true for most women, so if you arent planning to get pregnant right away, dont try to calculate your infertile days from this article!)The reason ovulation predictors are so popular for pregnancy planning is that knowing your dates of ovulation really puts you in the drivers seat in terms of getting pregnant. Once you know the date, you can light the candles, call your honey and get to work.
