How many eggs does a woman release in a month?

Most female friends know that they ovulate once a month. If you are preparing to conceive, you should know more about what happens during ovulation so that you can increase your pregnancy rate.

How many times a month does a woman ovulate?

Ovulation is a sign of a woman's fertility. The basic conditions for ovulation are: the maturation of the follicles and the presence of a hormonal environment in the body that promotes the release of eggs. Both are indispensable.

Generally speaking, a woman only ovulates once a month.

After entering puberty, due to the secretion of gonadotropin by the pituitary gland, the primordial follicles in the ovaries begin to develop and synthesize estrogen. The space around the egg cells is filled with fluid containing a large amount of estrogen. The growing follicle gradually moves to the surface of the ovary, the follicle wall becomes thinner and thinner, and finally ruptures. The mature egg flows into the abdominal cavity along with the follicular fluid. This process is called ovulation.

Women of childbearing age generally ovulate one ovulation per month, which can be released alternately from the left and right ovaries, or continuously from one ovary. Ovulation is related to factors such as environment, mood, physical health, sexual life, and contraceptive drugs. Sometimes ovulation may occur early or two eggs may be released at a time, and sometimes ovulation may be delayed or temporarily absent.

When is the egg released?

The release of an egg is a basic condition for conception. However, many women are not quite sure how long it takes for the egg to be released, so they are very concerned about the symptoms of egg release. Generally, during ovulation, the basal body temperature will be slightly higher, the leucorrhea will be thinner, and some patients will have slight abdominal distension and pain.

When is the egg released: The next menstrual period minus 14 days is the ovulation day

Generally speaking, a woman's ovulation day is about 14 days before the next menstrual period. To be on the safe side, we call the 5 days before ovulation, 4 days after ovulation, and the 10 days including the ovulation day the ovulation period. If your menstrual cycle is irregular, you can check whether you have ovulated by measuring your body temperature, cervical mucus, etc.

What does it feel like to release an egg?

Lower abdominal pain

The mature egg is released from the surface of the ovary and has to break through the thin membrane follicle that covers the surface of the egg. When the egg is released, a small amount of fluid in the follicle will flow into the lowest part of the pelvic cavity, causing a small amount of bleeding. Therefore, there will be pain in one side of the lower abdomen, but it will go away after a few hours.

Increased vaginal discharge

Most women experience increased vaginal discharge. As ovulation approaches, vaginal discharge increases gradually and becomes thin, milky white. During ovulation, discharge increases significantly and becomes watery, transparent, and clear. The vagina feels wet and slippery, and egg-white-like mucus appears.

Uterine bleeding

In addition to ovulation, the ovaries are also responsible for the secretion of endocrine hormones. The fluctuation of estrogen secretion in the body before and after ovulation causes a small amount of uterine bleeding, which is called ovulation bleeding.

Slightly high body temperature, breast tenderness, etc.

Some women experience a slightly higher body temperature, and some women experience breast swelling or nipple pain during ovulation, and sometimes they simply cannot touch their nipples.
