There are some noticeable changes in a woman's body during ovulation that are very important for women. Understanding these changes can help women better understand their physical condition and help plan for pregnancy or contraception.
1. Ovulation is the most fertile period in a woman's menstrual cycle
During ovulation, the egg is released from the ovaries and enters the fallopian tubes to wait for fertilization. This is the best time for a woman to conceive.
Therefore, if you are planning to become pregnant, then having sex during ovulation is the most effective way to do it. Knowing your ovulation can help you better grasp this timing.
2. Ovulation will cause some physical changes
1. The first is the change in body temperature
Before ovulation, a woman's basal body temperature drops slightly and then rises rapidly after ovulation. This is because after ovulation, the ovaries secrete a large amount of progesterone, which causes the body temperature to rise. By measuring basal body temperature, women can determine their own ovulation period.
2. Another physical change is cervical mucuschanges
Before ovulation, the cervical mucus becomes cloudy and sticky, which is to prevent sperm from entering the uterus. And during ovulation, the cervical mucus becomes clear and moist, which helps the sperm to survive and swim. By observing the changes in cervical mucus, women can tell if they are ovulating.
3. Ovulation will also cause some physical problemsDiscomfort
Some women experience discomfort or pain in their abdomen during ovulation, which is known as ovulation pain. Ovulation pains are usually one-sided and short-lived.
This is because when ovulation, the ovaries release eggs, which may cause some irritation and discomfort. Ovulation pain doesn't happen to every woman, but if you feel this way, then it can be used as an indicator to tell if you are ovulating.
