6 Important Facts About Ovulation and Fertility That Can Help You Get Pregnant Faster!
Women are born with 1 to 2 million eggs but release only 300 to 400 eggs lifetime, usually one egg each cycle. So knowing about the menstrual and ovulation cycle may help you understand the process of getting pregnant faster. After all, it's all about the timing! Isn't it?
So, let's get started!
#Fact 1: What is the monthly cycle?
The monthly menstrual cycle, also called a period cycle, is timed 28-35 days apart. Its starts from the first day of bleeding. During this cycle 14th day, one of the ovaries releases one egg.
The menstrual cycle is marked by a series of hormonal and structural changes to the uterus (in response to hormone release) to prepare a woman’s body for pregnancy.
#Fact 2: What is the ovulation cycle?
The ovaries release eggs from its follicle on 14 or 15 days of bleeding or the start of the menstrual cycle. During the ovulation cycle, the egg in the ovaries matures and releases. This repeated cycle every month is called the ovulation cycle.
Though there are no significant ovulation symptoms, experts suggest mood changes, breast tenderness and fatigue, and nausea be common symptoms experienced by women.
#Fact 3: Why does timing matter?
If your menstrual or ovulation cycle is disturbed, i.e., you do not get your periods timely or eggs do not release timely, then that could be a hurdle in conception.
If you are planning pregnancy, it is considered best to mate multiple times in 2-3 days of the fertility window. It is the time when conception chances are maximum. But a disturbing ovulation cycle can disrupt egg release and defeat your pregnancy planning.
