How is oocyte maturation

Before answering these questions, you should learn how to ovulate. This is the process whereby mature egg from an ovary goes directly into the peritoneal cavity, from where it is directed into the fallopian tube. After that there is fertilization of an egg, and pregnancy occurs. If it does not, about a day it will die.

Ripening egg every woman is different. In some, it has been observed after menstruation, while others - almost at the end of the cycle. However, most women ovum matures around midcycle. For example, if the woman's menstrual cycle lasts 28 days (the average length of the cycle), the ovulation will occur approximately at the 14th day.

The menstrual cycle is divided into two phases - follicular and luteal. In the first phase the egg matures. In the second phase of developing corpus luteum. Ovulation divides these phases. It is important to note that during the luteal phase in a somewhat stable and lasts for about 14 days, regardless of the length of the menstrual cycle.

Based on these data, we can know the day when ovulation occurs. For the duration of the menstrual cycle it takes 14 days (end). For example, if the cycle is 35 days, it is necessary to subtract 35 from 14, the result will be approximately 21 to 21 day cycle in our example a woman ovulation occurs. If a woman has a short cycle (25 days), the calculations should be carried out by a similar method. From 25 take 14 to yield 10. This would mean that the egg is released into the follicle on the 10th day of the cycle. This method of calculation is called the calendar.

Why would a woman know when she ovulated

If a woman is using the calendar method of contraception or planning a pregnancy, she should know exactly when her ovulation. It is worth noting that this method of contraception is not reliable enough, as any woman this period is changing very often, sometimes from month to month.

In addition, the mature egg lives overnight, and sperm can survive for up to 7 days.

Therefore, a woman can get pregnant if intercourse occurred within 6 days before ovulation and 1 day after.

Therefore, premature ovulation may be a serious problem for those women who want to conceive. After all, most of them simply do not know such a feature of an organism. When planning a pregnancy, it is necessary to learn to identify the day of ovulation.

Premature ovulation is considered a natural process that occurs in the female body. If early ovulation the egg matures and leaves the follicle already at 8-10 days after the start of menstruation. As a rule, it offensive provoke the following reasons: fatigue, stress, aggravate chronic disease, various diets, bad habits (alcohol, smoking), too active lifestyle.

Factors influencing early oocyte maturation, are very different. The slightest change in a woman affect her menstrual cycle. The maturation of the egg and its exit from the follicle just after menstruation may be due to fatigue, colds, stress, change of climate, diet and sleep. Any bad habit (smoking, alcohol), and certain medications can disrupt the menstrual cycle. Diets and dramatic weight loss can cause that conception does not occur. Often premature ovulation is associated with violation of hormonal background.

How to identify ovulation

Ovulation does not have pronounced symptoms. But if the woman will closely monitor your body for a few months, it will be able to predict the onset of ovulation, including premature. Thus, it will be able to plan their pregnancies. How do you know that your body is ready to conceive? Symptoms may include:

1. Slightly nagging pain in the abdomen, causing discomfort. In most cases a woman feels it from one side of the abdomen (left or right);
2. Malaise, mood swings;
3. Increased sexual desire;
4. Vaginal discharge becomes heavy and slimy.

Also, a woman can determine the readiness of their own fertility. In so doing, it will help the following methods. In particular, they will be useful for women who are planning a pregnancy.

The first method - measurement of basal (rectal) temperature. It is necessary to measure, strictly adhering to certain conditions. The measurements should be done within several menstrual cycles. The results should be recorded in the temperature graph. This method makes it possible to determine precisely the day of ovulation.

The fact that the basal temperature is dependent on the female hormone. In the first phase of the cycle the temperature is maintained within 36, 7-36, 8 degrees. In the second phase of the basal temperature rises to 0, 5-0, 7 degrees. During ovulation, there is a decrease to 0, 3 degrees.

It is also possible to determine ovulation by ultrasound (follikulometriya). This method allows you to see the mature follicle. Its main disadvantages are the high cost and the cost of free time.

In addition to these methods help identify premature ovulation and special tests based on the change in the number of sex hormones in the period when the egg is released from the follicle. Similar tests respond to high concentration of luteinizing hormone in the urine. Its amount is increased approximately 24-36 hours prior to ovulation.

There is another option that allows a woman to understand that premature ovulation has occurred. To do this, observe cervical secretions. Every woman should remember that early ovulation - it is not a disease, so it is sure to be able to get pregnant and give birth to a healthy baby. The main thing - do not miss the opportunity.
