Canadian scientists questioned the traditional view that ovulation in women occurs once a month. They argue that this phenomenon can be repeated more than once in a month.

Scientists conducted a study in which 63 women participated with normal menstrual cycles. The study lasted for 6 weeks. All women were given daily vaginal ultrasound examinations. Also measurements of follicles.

In the course of the study, 50 women had ovulation once, 6 had twice, and 7 had none at all.

According to the scientist Roger Pierson, until now it was believed that during the monthly cycle there is only one wave of growth, leading to one ovulation, but no detailed analysis was conducted. In fact, all the women surveyed had two waves, and 30% had three, Pearson.

According to experts, their discovery should be especially interesting to supporters of methods of natural contraception, because ovulation more than once a month can cause their low efficiency. In this regard, women who really need reliable long-term protection should think about using more effective means.
