Recognizing the characteristics of the fertile period can be a way to find out when the right time to have sex in order for pregnancy to occur. That is because in the fertile period, the ovaries release eggs and are ready to be fertilized by sperm.
In addition to planning a pregnancy, recognizing the characteristics of the fertile period can also be used to understand the menstrual cycle and pay attention to the presence or absence of special signs that occur just before menstruation.
Know the Various Characteristics of Fertility
The characteristics of the fertile period for each woman is different. Some women don't even feel these characteristics. Similarly, the fertile time varies in women. There are those who experience fertility at a certain date every month, but there are also those who experience changes in the fertile date each month. Women of childbearing age generally have a menstrual cycle of 28-32 days, with a fertile period of around 12-16 days before menstruation will come. Here are the characteristics of the fertile period that you can notice:Changes in basal body temperature
Basal body temperature is the temperature when the body is at rest or the lowest temperature for one day. Basal body temperature is generally measured when I wake up. Generally this temperature is consistent at the beginning of the menstrual cycle. However, after approaching ovulation, there may be a slight decrease in temperature, followed by an increase in temperature after ovulation. Basal body temperature before ovulation usually ranges from 36.1ºC to 36.4ºC. The increase in basal body temperature at ovulation is around 0.4-1 degrees, or ranges from 36.4ºC to 37ºC. You can track your basal body temperature accurately for several months to make it easier to know if there is a change in your basal body temperature, during ovulation.
Changes in cervical fluid
Cervical fluid in every woman can be different, but generally cervical fluid in fertile times will be more sticky texture and clear whitish color like egg white. When ovulating, the amount of cervical fluid will also be more than usual. This change in cervical fluid makes it easier for sperm to reach the uterus.
Changes in the cervix
Your cervix usually experiences many changes during the fertile period, such as being softer, wetter and more open. You can feel this change by inserting a clean index finger into the vagina to examine your cervix. It's just that this method is quite difficult and may need some practice to recognize the difference.
Other Ways to Predict Fertility
In addition to the ways above, there are other ways that can help predict your fertile period, such as:Record menstrual schedules
You can record menstrual periods beginning and ending, for several months. If you have a normal menstrual cycle, then you tend to ovulate regularly around 14 days before your next menstruation. You can also confirm the characteristics and symptoms felt at that time.
Fertility prediction tool
Fertility predictors can measure the level of luteinizing hormone (LH) in your urine. About 10-12 hours after the luteinizing hormone increases, most women will ovulate. If your menstrual cycle is 28 days, ovulation usually will occur on days 14 to 15.
Fertility Monitor
Fertility prediction tools can identify when to estimate ovulation. In addition, fertility tools can also identify the most fertile days. Fertility monitors will measure levels of luteinizing hormone and estrogen to identify the two most fertile days, out of five days of fertility.
