How to do ovulation test

Women must be familiar with the word ovulation. Everyone should know that the ovaries are the source of women's life and the root of women's fertility. There are many reasons for female infertility, but most of them are related to female ovulation. Everyone knows that pregnancy is made up of female eggs and male sperm. When female ovulation is impaired, it becomes extremely difficult for women to become pregnant. So what are the rules of female ovulation? How to do ovulation check?

There are generally several ways to detect ovulation:

⑴Basal body temperature measurement: This is the most commonly used method nowadays. The disadvantage is that it is quite troublesome. The measurement method is to wake up in the morning every day and do not do any movement. Hold the thermometer under the tongue for 5 to 10 minutes, and then mark the measured values ​​on the basal body temperature chart and connect them into a line. The first day of menstruation is regarded as the beginning of each cycle.

If the body temperature suddenly drops and then suddenly rises by 0.3~0.5℃, it means ovulation has occurred (the basal body temperature is lowest 24 hours before ovulation). After ovulation, the basal body temperature will continue to rise for 12~16 days. If your body temperature does not change from being low in the first half of a menstrual cycle to being high in the second half, it means that you have not ovulated. Illness, sexual activity, and emotional excitement will cause significant fluctuations in basal body temperature, but they will not last long and will not result in the typical two-plateau-like changes like ovulation.

⑵Test paper method: There are ovulation test strips 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.

⑶ Changes in leucorrhea: Leucorrhea is composed of cervical mucus, vaginal exfoliated cells, secretions, bacteria and other substances. Normal women do not have much leucorrhea, which can lubricate the vagina. It is usually white in color. In the middle of the menstrual period, if the amount of leucorrhea increases, becomes as transparent as egg white and can be stretched into filaments, it means that ovulation is about to occur. Cases of vaginitis are excluded.

⑷Ultrasound to detect ovulation: B-ultrasound can more accurately determine whether ovulation has occurred. Some people have several follicles developing in their ovaries at the same time, but there is no dominant follicle and no ovulation. Some people have dominant follicles in their ovaries, but they do not ovulate and instead directly become luteinized. This will cause the basal body temperature to rise and the leucorrhea to change periodically. B-ultrasound can determine these situations.

Ovulation is a necessary step for reproduction, and reproduction will only occur if ovulation occurs. If the ovaries do not release eggs, there is no way to talk about fertility. Therefore, it is important to check whether the ovaries are releasing eggs. Only when sperm and egg combine can new life be born. For women who are planning to have a baby, having sex during the ovulation period can maximize the probability of conception, and this should be done using the correct method of checking ovulation.
