How to Predict OvulationEstablishing your fertility schedule is one of most important steps for a successful conception. Ovulation process a release of a single, mature egg from the ovarian follicle following a Leutinising Hormone (LH) surge. Knowledge of the ovulation or fertile period is cruicial for women who are trying establish their ovulating schedule and to conceive.
There are multiple ways to watch for upcoming ovulation. Counting days for timing method. Observing change in cervical mucus. Experiencing lower abdominal discomfort. A rise in body temperature. Still the best way to predict ovulation is to use ovulation test (also known as ovulation predictor kit).
Here is how it happens:
To demonstrate how it all works, we illustrate a 28-day menstrual/fertility cycle here. First day of a woman's menstrual period is considered a first day of a cycle. A normal cycle has key events which occur to reveal the best time to conceive a child. In this example, pre-ovulation clues begin to show up to 5 days before the actual day of ovulation (The Fertile Period). At this time a woman's estrogen hormone level will rise and changes in her basal body temperature will occur. The rise in estrogen level also causes an increase in salt in a woman's saliva and other body fluids, including cervical mucus.
So, how do you establish your pattern?
When viewing your first-morning dried saliva (before eating or drinking), on the lens of the Mini Ovulation Microscope, non-fertile days will show as a random dark-dotted structure (figure A). When using MaybeMOM™ Mini Ovulation Microscope as an OPK to test for ovulation during this time, you will see small, fern-like patterns within the dotted structure (figure B), up to 5 days in the "pre-" and "post-" ovulation period. On the actual day of ovulation (woman's most fertile time), you will view a clear fern-like crystallized pattern (figure C) in your ovulation predictor window. This is your best time of the month to become pregnant.
We recommend for you to start charting your schedule, to pinpoint your days. What if you do not see any ferning? Suspect you are not ovulating properly. In such case we urge you to consult with your OBGYN or family physician right away.
