How important is an egg? Mastering the four ovulation periods can lead to a successful pregnancy

Now that China is gradually entering an aging population, experts suggest opening up the three child policy. Many elderly couples have embarked on the path of preparing for pregnancy, but have failed multiple times. If you want to successfully conceive, you need to master the ovulation pattern in order to improve the conception rate.

How important is an egg?

The largest cell in the body is an egg, produced by the ovary. When a woman is still an embryo, there are approximately 6-7 million oocytes in the body at around 16-20 weeks, and the follicles in the fetal stage will continue to lock up. Until birth, there were about 2 million eggs in the ovaries, with only about 300000 remaining during adolescence. During puberty, the ovaries take turns ovulating on a monthly basis, with approximately 3-11 follicles starting to develop. After recruitment and selection, only one can mature and then be expelled from the follicles, becoming an egg. During a woman's lifetime, there are approximately 400-500 eggs that mature and are excreted, but some factors can cause ovarian function to decline, thereby affecting follicle development and excretion, such as genetic factors, poor lifestyle habits, and diseases. When there are no follicles in the ovaries, ovarian function subsequently fails, leading to menopause. Therefore, for women of childbearing age, each egg is precious and needs to be taken good care of.

How to grasp the ovulation period?

1. Calculation of Menstrual cycle

Under normal circumstances, the Menstrual cycle is 28 days, and ovulation occurs about 14 days before the next menstruation. Women should first understand the length of their Menstrual cycle. Only when the Menstrual cycle is regular or normal can the start time of the next menstruation be calculated, so as to calculate the ovulation period. This method is suitable for women with normal Menstrual cycle. However, the Menstrual cycle is affected by many factors, such as mood, nutrition, and environment.

2. Basic body temperature measurement

Women who rest regularly can use basal body temperature measurements to calculate ovulation period. When measuring, it is necessary to ensure that the body is in a stationary state, with at least 6-7 hours of sleep time. After waking up every morning without any activity, the body temperature should be measured immediately. This is the so-called basic body temperature. Mark the basal body temperature measured every day on a grid paper. As long as the female ovulation pattern is regular, the basal body temperature is generally below 36.5 ℃ in the first two weeks of ovulation, and can exceed 36.5 ℃ in the two weeks after ovulation. The days that rise are the ovulation period, but it is necessary to persist in measuring for three months.
