How many days does it take for the ovulation test paper to turn from a weak positive to a strong positive?

Ovulation test strips are mainly used to detect female ovulation. If one bar is shown, it means that ovulation has not yet occurred. If two bars appear but the second bar is not obvious, it means a weak positive. So, how many days does it take for the ovulation test paper to turn from a weak positive to a strong positive? It takes about three or four days from a weak positive to a strong positive. Pay attention to close testing. Once it reaches the positive stage, it is recommended that the couple increase the frequency of sexual intercourse in order to conceive as soon as possible.

Using ovulation test strips to monitor ovulation is one method, but if you want to monitor ovulation accurately, it is best to go to the hospital for an ovulation test under transvaginal ultrasound. Generally, mature follicles are detected when they reach 18 to 20 mm under transvaginal ultrasound monitoring. At this time, by measuring the hormone levels, including luteinizing hormone, estrogen, and progesterone, you can accurately determine the day of ovulation. For women who want to become pregnant, ovulation is a very reliable indicator. In addition, it helps with conception and also helps women get pregnant and implant during sexual intercourse.

What are the symptoms of ovulation?

1. Decreased appetite: One of the more obvious symptoms during the ovulation period is a decrease in appetite, because studies have shown that women's food intake during the ovulation period is the lowest in a menstrual cycle. This is the result of human natural instincts that have been preserved to this day - female animals during the ovulation period will focus more on finding the opposite sex for mating rather than finding food.

2. Being energetic: Being energetic is also a situation that we often encounter in daily life. It is also a natural instinct inherited from human beings. In order to successfully attract the opposite sex, women in the ovulation period will become energetic and love to express themselves.

3. Changes in body temperature: Changes in body temperature are also a symptom that occurs during the ovulation period. After ovulation, due to the secretion of progesterone, the body temperature rises slightly. If you can insist on measuring your basal body temperature every morning, you can find out your ovulation date based on the change in body temperature from low to slightly increased.

4. Increased sexual desire: Generally speaking, women’s sexual desire will be particularly strong during their ovulation period, which is a reflection of the fact that women’s body signals of wanting to get pregnant have reached their highest value.

5. Slight fever in the afternoon: Although some people have not tested their basal body temperature, they will feel a little fever in the half month after ovulation, especially in the afternoon, and the fever will disappear after the menstruation comes.

6. Decreased resistance: During ovulation, women’s vaginal mucus becomes thinner, allowing sperm to pass more easily and increasing the chances of successful conception. At the same time, women’s nasal mucus also decreases, which increases the chances of bacteria invading the human circulatory system.

7. A small amount of uterine bleeding: Since the ovaries not only have the function of ovulation, but also control the secretion of female endocrine hormones, the fluctuation of estrogen secretion in the body before and after ovulation will cause a small amount of uterine bleeding, which is called ovulation bleeding. This is another sign of ovulation, which some women may mistake for menstrual irregularities. If the amount of bleeding during ovulation is not too much, it is relatively normal. However, it should be noted that irregular menstruation, cervical polyps, cervical erosion, cervical cancer, and other reproductive tract diseases can also cause this kind of bleeding. Therefore, if the ovulation bleeding time is long or the amount of bleeding is heavy (even exceeding the menstrual amount), you should go to the hospital in time for a comprehensive physical examination.

8. Mild pain in one side of the lower abdomen: The mature egg is discharged from the surface of the ovary and has to break through the follicle that wraps the surface of the egg. When the egg is released, a small amount of fluid from the follicle flows into the lowest part of the pelvic cavity. During female ovulation, there may be a small amount of bleeding at the site where the egg is released from the ovary.

How to calculate ovulation period

1. Leucorrhea observation method: Leucorrhea is not constant during a menstrual cycle. Most of the time, vaginal discharge is drier, thicker, and less in quantity. On the day between two menstrual periods, the leucorrhea is clear, bright, and plentiful, like egg white, or more like the clear nasal discharge during a cold. This day is the ovulation period. This is because a higher concentration of estrogen is produced during ovulation, which acts on the columnar epithelial cells at the cervical opening, causing them to secrete a large amount of leucorrhea.

2. B-ultrasound monitoring method: Through B-ultrasound examination, experienced doctors will see the process of follicles being discharged from small to large.

3. Cervical mucus method: The cervical mucus is often dense in a small quantity, or even with no mucus at all after the menstruation is over, and it is called the "dry period", indicating a non-ovulation period. In the middle of the menstrual cycle, as endocrine secretions change, mucus increases and becomes thinner, and vaginal secretions increase, which is called the "wet period." As ovulation approaches, the mucus becomes clear, smooth and elastic, like egg white, with high stringiness and not easy to break. The last day of the appearance of this mucus ± 48 hours is the ovulation day. Therefore, when the vagina feels moist, it is the ovulation period, also known as the "fertile period." If you plan to conceive, you should choose the "wet period" before ovulation.

4. Spot bleeding observation method: When the follicles are discharged from the ovaries, they will tear the ovarian wall and cause local bleeding. Usually, this little bit of blood is quickly absorbed into the abdominal cavity. However, there are also a few women who experience heavy bleeding, and the blood will flow through the fallopian tubes, uterus, and vagina to the outside of the body, leaving drops of blood on the underwear. Some women call it "small menstruation" and it is medically called "ovulation bleeding."

What to pay attention to during ovulation

1. Suppress your appetite: Your appetite usually increases greatly on the first day of ovulation, and your body will instinctively store energy to prepare for possible conception. At this time, women should eat more fruits and drink more tea, as these foods can effectively suppress appetite.

2. The best time to lose weight: The second day after ovulation is the day when women’s body fat burns the fastest. After ovulation, if conception is unsuccessful, the body begins to prepare for the next attempt. As estrogen levels plummet, changes in the body occur that promote fat burning. So women should make full use of this time to lose weight.

3. To prevent edema: On the third day after ovulation, a lot of water is accumulated in the female body, which makes the body feel less and less comfortable and light, and the efficiency of weight loss is gradually reduced. Therefore, women should reduce their salt intake and drink more water boiled with coix seeds on this day.

4. Pay attention to gastrointestinal motility: On the fourth day of ovulation, women's intestines tend to become inert, leading to IFA constipation. Therefore, women should eat more high-fiber foods such as potatoes, beans, walnuts, green leafy vegetables, etc. that can promote gastrointestinal motility on this day.

5. It is not advisable to see a dental doctor: On the fifth day of ovulation, a woman’s body will become very sensitive, especially the oral cavity. Therefore, women who plan to see the dentist on this day are advised to change the time. Also pay attention to the strength when brushing your teeth in the morning and evening, and avoid using too much force.

6. Create a pleasant environment: On the sixth day of ovulation, many women will feel lazy and have no motivation to do things. At this time, women can drink some Hypericum tea, rose tea and other flowers and herbs, or use essential oils with mood-regulating functions to soothe their nerves.

7. Be careful of acne: On the seventh day of ovulation, women’s sebaceous glands are abnormally active and acne will grow rapidly like mushrooms after rain. Therefore, women should avoid eating spicy and irritating foods on this day, and use some skin care products that have the effect of removing acne or inhibiting the formation of acne.
