What are the methods for monitoring ovulation?

Nowadays, physical health is becoming more and more the focus of people's attention. The ovulation problem has also become a common concern among women, so what are the methods to monitor ovulation? This problem has been bothering everyone. If it is not handled properly, it will cause a series of problems and even make women unable to conceive normally. Therefore, it is very important to master the method of monitoring ovulation.

Ovarian ovulation can be monitored indirectly.

(1) Basal body temperature monitoring: Basal body temperature refers to the body temperature when inactive in the early morning. It is relatively low in the pre-ovulation period and increases significantly by about 0.2 to 0.5°C after ovulation, and continues until the onset of menstruation.

BBT is biphasic, indicating ovulation. It does not occur in menopausal women or women who have had their ovaries removed.

BBT is monophasic: indicating that ovulation may not occur.

(2) Cervical mucus monitoring: In the first half of the menstrual cycle, the cervix does not secrete mucus and the vulva is very dry. After this, the cervix secretes a small amount of thick, opaque mucus. Just before ovulation, with the appearance of the estrogen peak, the cervical mucus becomes thinner, transparent, and clear, and the amount also increases. This is called fertile mucus.

(3) Test strip method: There are ovulation test strips available on the market, which you can buy and do the test yourself. Place the test strip in your urine. If two red lines appear in the "small window" of the test strip, it means ovulation is about to occur. This method requires multiple consecutive tests.

(4) Ultrasound imaging monitoring (B-ultrasound)

Generally, monitoring begins on the 10th day of the menstrual cycle to observe changes in the diameter of the follicles. The diameter of the follicles increases by an average of about 3mm per day in the 4 days before ovulation. The follicles mature to about 17-25mm before ovulation and disappear after ovulation. Continuous monitoring shows that the follicles continue to grow before ovulation. When the largest follicle disappears, ovulation occurs. (This method is reliable, but requires continuous monitoring and is expensive).

(5) Ovulation detector

This method requires purchase and self-testing. Start testing on the second day of menstruation, place the oral sensor on the tongue for 3 seconds each time. After a few days, the instrument's screen will indicate ovulation in advance. This method can be tested once a day.

Through the above description, I believe everyone must have a clear idea of ​​how to monitor ovulation! However, in today's society, many people still do not pay attention to this issue, which will lead to various problems, so I hope everyone can pay attention to these physical issues and take preventive measures.
