Ovulation is the process of release of the ovum from the ovary. Conception of the child is possible immediately at the time of ovulation or within a day after its onset. If a woman's menstrual cycle is stable from month to month, then the treasured day is easy to calculate. It will come about 14 days before the next menstruation. If you are sure of the steadfastness of your cycle, then you know exactly what days you will need to work hard to create a new life.

But for most women, the length of the cycle is unpredictable. The cycle can be influenced by various factors such as the state of health, medication, stress and experience, or it can simply be a feature of the body. In this case, it is important to learn to recognize the signs of an approaching ovulation. One way to do this is to analyze vaginal mucus. Before ovulation and during it a woman has a viscous transparent discharge resembling a raw egg white. If this mucus is rubbed between the fingers and then spread apart, the mucus will stretch between them in the form of a thick filament.

Another way to determine the day of possible conception is to measure basal temperature. The basal temperature is always measured at the same time after waking, without getting out of bed. Make measurements by the same thermometer at one specific location. The most accurate measurements according to doctors are easiest to achieve in the rectum. A slight rise in basal temperature in the middle of the menstrual cycle signals that the most favorable period for the conception of the baby comes.

A sharp temperature jump indicates that ovulation has already occurred, and you only have this one day in a month to conceive a child.

Each of these methods is good in its own way, but their combination will allow you to be even more accurate and confident in calculating the day of conception. This day will determine your baby's birth date, therefore, the correct use of the information above is very useful to you and to doctors who will observe your pregnancy all 9 months.
