When am I Ovulating?

By Greg White


If you are one of the lucky ones, you may never have to worry about ovulation and conceiving. This is because of the fact that you appear to have no concerns when it comes to getting pregnant, and you already have the family that you want. Nonetheless some like to know about when they're ovulating in order that they can up the chances of getting pregnant on any particular cycle. If you are dealing with fertility issues it is critical to understand about your ovulation cycle and how it interacts with any pregnancy drugs you may be prescribed. If that is the case that you've got to have a good idea about when you are most fertile, an ovulation chart might be your best bet.

Many of us are under the presumption that they're ovulating on day 14 of their cycle, and this is because that it's what they were taught. Quite honestly, though some do ovulate on that day, but there are many of us who do not. Because they aren't aware that they're ovulating later or even sooner than that, they plan lovemaking at the wrong time, and they don't have any concept why they're not getting pregnant. A good ovulation chart can simply clear up this problem for them.

An ovulation chart is done by charting your temperature every day. You can't just take any temp though, it must be your basal temp. This is the temperature you will get when you first wake up in the morning. You must take your temperature before you get up, go to the loo, or do anything else. You put this temperature on your ovulation chart and then see what happens all through your cycle. This works best when you don't forget to do it each day , but you can still get a good idea of what is occurring if you miss one or two days.

What you'll find with your ovulation chart is that your temps will rise after ovulation. When your temp goes up four days in a row, you can be sure you have released an egg. The final day of low temps is the day of ovulation. If you do this a few months in a row, you will get an idea of when is the ideal time to have sex for conceiving. It may change every month, but you will have a general idea of your cycle by then, and you can select the best times. If you find that your temp stays up at least 20 days after your ovulation date, you might need to go out and get a pregnancy test. You may be pregnant.

Charts to trace ovulation can help you understand your menstral cycle and help you plan for conception.
