How to monitor ovarian ovulation patterns?

Many women have found that it seems to be increasingly difficult to get pregnant nowadays. Therefore, when preparing for pregnancy, they will pay attention to many indicators, such as monitoring the regularity of ovarian ovulation. Paying attention to the pattern of ovarian ovulation is indeed helpful in preparing for pregnancy, but most people don’t know how to monitor the pattern of ovarian ovulation. Let us introduce it below.

(1) Basal body temperature monitoring: Basal body temperature refers to the body temperature when you are 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) 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).

(4) Test paper 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.

The above is the method for monitoring the regularity of ovarian ovulation. Although monitoring the regularity of ovarian ovulation is very meaningful for pregnancy, couples who are planning to have a baby are advised not to be too anxious about having a child. After all, if you are too anxious and stressed, it will be very detrimental to pregnancy. It is best to relax while trying to get pregnant scientifically.
