Estimate Your Fertile Window Now →Understanding Ovulation
Ovulation typically occurs about 12 to 16 days before your next period. However, cycle lengths vary, making it essential to track your individual cycle. Several methods can help you identify your fertile window.
- Calendar Method: Track your periods on a calendar to identify patterns and estimate your ovulation date.
- Cervical Mucus Changes: Monitor changes in your cervical mucus. It becomes thinner, clearer, and more elastic (like raw egg white) just before ovulation.
- Basal Body Temperature (BBT): Take your temperature every morning before getting out of bed. A slight rise in temperature (around 0.2°C) usually indicates that ovulation has occurred.
- Ovulation Predictor Kits (OPKs): These kits detect the surge in luteinizing hormone (LH) in your urine, which occurs 24 to 36 hours before ovulation.
