Calculate Your Fertile Window →What is Ovulation and Why is it Important?
Ovulation is the release of a mature egg from one of your ovaries, typically occurring about 12-16 days before your next period. This egg is viable for approximately 12-24 hours, presenting a narrow window for fertilization. Sperm, however, can survive in the female reproductive tract for up to five days. Therefore, knowing when you ovulate allows you to time intercourse strategically.
Signs of Ovulation
Several signs can indicate that you are ovulating:
- Changes in cervical mucus: It becomes clearer, thinner, and more slippery, resembling raw egg whites.
- Rise in basal body temperature (BBT): A slight increase in your BBT, measured with a special thermometer, can indicate ovulation.
- Increased libido: Many women experience a heightened sex drive around ovulation.
- Ovulation pain: Some women feel a slight twinge or cramp in their lower abdomen, known as mittelschmerz.
