Counting the days or calendar system.
Ovulation calendar can work very well to determine the potential of the fertile period if you have a regular cycle. For those who have regular menstrual cycles of fertility took place on day 14 – / 1 until the day of the next menstrual period, meaning that occurred on days 13-15 before the date of the next menstruation. The first day your period is calculated as the day-to-1. For an irregular cycle, first calculate the length of the cycle for 6 cycles in a row to get the longest and shortest cycles. The longest cycle minus 11, while the shortest cycle minus 18 and found the fertile period. Suppose the longest cycle 30 and the shortest cycle 26, the calculation is (30-11 = 21) and (26-18 = 8), the fertile period lasts from day 8 to day.
Changes in cervical mucus.
When the monthly cycle progresses, the cervical mucus will also experience an increase in volume and changes texture. The more the volume of mucus produced reflect any change in the body that is rising levels of estrogen. A person considered to have the most fertile when the mucus is clean, smooth and elastic.
Discomfort in the lower abdomen.
About 1 in 5 women indicate ovulation with pain or pain in the lower abdomen, pain that arise tend to be mild. This condition can take several minutes to several hours and is a positive sign of the fertile period.
The increase in body temperature.
At ovulation, the body temperature will usually increase by 0.5 to 1.6 degrees celsius, this can be detected by using a thermometer and measure the basal body temperature (BBT). Body temperature is the temperature measured the morning when the man was still in bed and not doing anything, this temperature increase indicates an increase of the hormone progesterone. This method helps a person know whether it has been signed in the fertile period or not.
Ovulation test kits.
Tools to measure ovulation hormone works by detecting the pre-ovulatory LH-surge in the body. This tool can be used at home and allow you to predict its own when the fertile period with great accuracy. If someone has a regular menstrual cycle will be easier to determine the fertile period, but if the cycle is too long or irregular required accuracy in seeing changes.
