If I am pregnant, will there be follicles?

Pregnancy is a great joy for those who are preparing for pregnancy. The pregnancy period can be said to be the most important moment in a woman's life, but there are also risks in childbirth. Therefore, it is best for pregnant women to have prenatal checkups during pregnancy to ensure the health of both the pregnant woman and the fetus. Some pregnant women do not understand whether they will have follicles if they are pregnant. Will there be follicles if they are pregnant? Let’s take a look at it next.

1. If you are pregnant, will there be follicles?

Will I still ovulate when I am pregnant? Since the progesterone secreted by the fetus after pregnancy is the main hormone, it will inhibit the secretion of estrogen, so ovulation will not occur during pregnancy. Moreover, the secretion of progesterone will continue until the end of breastfeeding, so most women will not ovulate during breastfeeding.

2. To determine whether ovulation will occur, you can also identify it in the following ways:

1. Ovulation symptoms: Ovulation symptoms often include decreased appetite, increased energy, increased libido, increased vaginal discharge, increased body temperature, and ovulation pain. If there is no ovulation, the above symptoms will not occur.

2. Ovulation test strips: Ovulation test strips predict ovulation by detecting the peak level of luteinizing hormone (LH). Ovulation occurs when the strong positive turns weak. If you find that the ovulation test paper turns from strong positive to weak, it means that ovulation will occur within 24 hours.

3. B-ultrasound follicle monitoring: B-ultrasound can not only detect whether there are dominant follicles in both ovaries, but also measure the size of the dominant follicles, the thickness of the endometrium, etc. This method helps predict ovulation and guide conception-promoting sexual intercourse to a certain extent.

3. Measurement of basal body temperature: During ovulation, the follicle ruptures, the estrogen level in the body drops sharply, causing the body temperature to drop. If the basal body temperature shows a biphasic change, it indicates ovulation.

4. Endocrine examination: Luteinizing hormone reaches a peak before ovulation. Ovulation occurs about 36 hours after the peak, and luteinizing hormone drops sharply at ovulation.

3. Notes

After pregnancy, there will be no ovulation. However, some ovulation symptoms will appear during pregnancy, and the two are easy to confuse, so it is recommended to go to the hospital to check whether you are pregnant.

The amount of vaginal discharge will also increase in the early stages of pregnancy. This is due to the effect of estrogen in the female body. The water in the cervix and vaginal walls and the blood in the blood vessels are more than usual, so the amount of vaginal discharge naturally increases as well. In addition to increased leucorrhea, pregnancy also includes symptoms such as cessation of menstruation and vaginal bleeding. In addition to the above symptoms, the ovulation period is also accompanied by abdominal pain, increased body temperature, decreased appetite, increased sexual desire, etc. Therefore, many people think that there will be an ovulation period when they are pregnant, but in fact, there is no ovulation period.
