- Menstruation (Days 1-7): This is the start of the cycle, marked by the shedding of the uterine lining.
- Follicular Phase (Days 1-14): The ovaries prepare to release an egg, stimulated by follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH).
- Ovulation (Around Day 14): A surge in luteinizing hormone (LH) triggers the release of a mature egg from the ovary.
- Luteal Phase (Days 14-28): The body prepares for potential implantation. If fertilization doesn't occur, the cycle restarts.
Calculating Your Fertile Window
The fertile window consists of the days leading up to and including ovulation, as sperm can survive for several days inside the female reproductive tract. The most fertile days are typically the day of ovulation and the day before. Accurately tracking your cycle and predicting ovulation can greatly increase your chances of conception.
There are several methods to track your fertility ovulation cycle, including:
- Calendar Method: Track your cycle for several months to estimate ovulation.
- Basal Body Temperature (BBT): Monitor your temperature daily; a slight rise indicates ovulation.
- Cervical Mucus Changes: Observe changes in vaginal discharge; clear and slippery mucus indicates approaching ovulation.
- Ovulation Predictor Kits (OPKs): These test strips measure luteinizing hormone (LH) levels in urine, indicating the LH surge and impending ovulation.
