Sometimes a married couple planning a child for a long time begins to worry: is everything all right with us? Do not worry ahead of time, because even if both partners are absolutely healthy, about a year may pass by the time of conception. But after a year of fruitless efforts, it makes sense to contact a gynecologist. If you are over thirty or thirty-five years old, consult about the desired pregnancy in six months. To increase your chances of getting pregnant, you can calculate the most suitable time for this, and make love intensively on these days. This time is called ovulation.
It is necessary
Thermometer, ovulation test, calendar
Instructions
Step 1
Calculate literally. Ovulation, as already mentioned, occurs approximately in the middle of the cycle, somewhere on the 14th - 16th day, for greater conviction, you can take into account a few days before and a day or two after.
Step 2
Measure your basal body temperature. With a thermometer, you need to measure the temperature in the rectum immediately after waking up. By the middle of the cycle, the temperature rises slightly, which is a sign of the onset of ovulation. When the temperature crosses the 37 ° mark, count back and forth from that day six days. These days are the most favorable for conception.
Step 3
Watch for cervical mucus. Before and during ovulation, the mucus from the vagina becomes clear and stringy, like the white of a raw egg.
Step 4
Symptomothermal method is complex, it includes keeping a calendar of cycles, monitoring mucus, measuring basal temperature.
Step 5
Finally, there are special tests available from pharmacies. They are similar to tests for determining pregnancy: there, too, after contact with urine, two transverse lines should appear, one of them, the control, confirms the correctness of the test, the other shows an increase in the amount of luteinizing hormone in the body.
