Unlike men, a woman is only ready for fertilization a few days a month. Therefore, if you are planning to conceive a child, you should calculate the favorable days when this event is most likely.

test to determine ovulation
Instructions
Step 1
A woman's standard menstrual cycle lasts 28 days. In the middle of this period, ovulation occurs - an unfertilized egg leaves the ovary and moves through the fallopian tubes to the uterus. It is in the tube that the egg cell meets the sperm cell most often, and then the zygote moves into the uterine cavity and attaches to its bottom.
Step 2
In order to establish the date of conception of a child, you need to know your cycle. Simply divide the entire period from the start of one period to the start of the next in half and you will get the date when you start ovulation.
Step 3
Another way to calculate the optimal day for conception is to measure your basal body temperature (rectal temperature) every day. Every morning, waking up and not yet out of bed, insert the tip of the thermometer into the rectum. You can also measure the temperature in the vagina. The thermometer should be kept for seven to ten minutes. Before ovulation, the temperature does not exceed 37 degrees, and after the release of the egg, this figure increases. The first day you have a fever is best for conceiving a baby.
Step 4
You can determine a favorable date for conceiving a child based on observations of vaginal discharge. A couple of days before ovulation begins, the thick and sticky discharge becomes clear.
Step 5
You can easily determine the day of conception of a child by purchasing an ovulation test at the pharmacy. There are two types of these tests. Some determine the date of release of an unfertilized egg from the ovary, based on changes in the composition of saliva, others - on changes in the composition of urine.
Step 6
Keep in mind that the egg cell remains viable for a day, and the sperm cells remain viable for two to three days. Therefore, pregnancy can occur not only on the day of ovulation. This opportunity lasts for 6-9 days.
