Women ovulate once a month, and often only one follicle in one ovary develops and matures, maintaining fertilization capacity for about 12-18 hours. Although the semen produced by a male ejaculation may contain hundreds of millions of sperm, and the lifespan of sperm excreted outside the body can last for 1-2 days, the female reproductive tract has set numerous obstacles for sperm, and there are not many sperm that can truly reach the fallopian tubes. Usually, only one sperm can successfully combine with the egg, and all other sperm will die one after another. So, how to grasp the optimal pregnancy period?
Some infertile couples do not actually have any diseases that affect fertility, but miss the best time to conceive due to a lack of reproductive knowledge. Therefore, couples with healthy reproductive functions must seize opportunities in order to have children. Women with regular menstrual cycles typically have a menstrual cycle of around 28 days, and ovulation often occurs in the middle of the menstrual cycle. Without the use of instruments, ovulation cannot be seen with the naked eye, and the vast majority of people do not have a special feeling of ovulation.
So, how to accurately calculate the wife's ovulation period? Firstly, during ovulation, women may experience changes in vaginal secretions. The previously thick, cloudy, and sparse cervical mucus gradually becomes thin and transparent, and the amount also increases, This is an easy way for the female reproductive tract to "welcome" the smooth entry of sperm, allowing the sperm to smoothly pass through the cervical mucus and ascend into the fallopian tube. Doctors can observe the dried mucus under the microscope and see the fern like crystals of Marriott. Secondly, basal body temperature changes during ovulation, so we can observe the discharge of follicles by measuring basal body temperature.
Couples should learn how to measure basal body temperature. This method is simple, convenient and economical, and patients can complete it at their own homes. However, basal body temperature is easily affected by external factors, such as weather, temperature, season, activities, etc., and even thinking activities can increase body temperature. Therefore, this method often causes mental tension, making it difficult to measure accurately. In addition, women during ovulation may have a higher desire and mood for sexual intercourse, and some women may experience ovulation pain, breast heaviness, etc. Husbands should be good at observing their wives' emotional and sensory changes.
At present, in clinical practice, the development and emission of follicles can be accurately monitored by analyzing hormone levels in patients' urine or dynamically monitoring changes in follicles using ultrasound. Patients can directly seek medical assistance.
