Ovulation Cycle

A woman's standard ovulation cycle is twenty nine days, but for some woman, this may be a longer or shorter period. Ovulation is when the egg which is now mature is released from the follicle. Day one of your ovulation cycle is the first day of your period. Woman usually ovulates in the middle of their menstrual cycle approximately day fourteen. The woman's body is all controlled by hormones which the body produces. Hormones tell the body when to produce mature eggs and causes changes in the cervical mucus to aid conception.
There is a set of ways to track when you are ovulating, some woman do this by charting the cervical mucus or there are ovulation test kits available. Home ovulation test kits are extremely easy to use, they look like a pregnancy test, but they measure your levels of the hormone LH (Luteinizing hormone). Checking your Basel body is another method for calculating ovulation, the temperature rises approximately four degrees which "indicates your are ovulating". Using a thermometer to check the temperature it should be then marked down on an ovulation chart it is best to do this over three months, so you can see a pattern forming. Cervical Mucus
A woman can monitor the cervical mucus making note of its texture, color and quantity. These are all indicators of ovulation. The changes can be broken down into four parts: Part one- there will be very little chance of conceiving as there is no cervical mucus present and your vulva will feel very dry
Part two- Mucus should be present but of white or cream color, the texture will be sticky and quite moist. In the following days the amount should increase, the color will change to more cloudy. The texture should also begin to become more stretchy, you can test this using your fingers and see how far it will stretch out. At this point in your ovulation cycle there is now a slight chance that you can become pregnant.
Part Three
Ovulation should now be approaching and over the next couple of days will be the highest chance of conceiving. The amount of mucus should steadily increase, the appearance should resemble that of the white of a runny egg. The mucus will be exceedingly stretchy rather than sticky and will help carry the sperm to the egg to be fertilized.
Three- You should now be approaching ovulation at this point the mucus will become greater in volume over the next couple of days. The mucus will now look like the white part of a raw egg, it should be clear and extremely stretchy. At this point in your cycle, you should have the best chance of conceiving. The mucus will help to carry the sperm to the egg whilst protecting and providing nourishment.
Part Four- The mucus will sticky again, and there is very little chance of conceiving at this point. If fertilization has not happened the hormone levels change this then causes the lining of the womb to shed. You are now at the start of your menstrual cycle this is the first day of your period.
