Drawing up an individual schedule of possible conception
This method involves the calculation of the ovulation day based on the duration of the individual’s individual menstrual cycle.
Theoretically, the output output occurs around the middle of the cycle. If its duration is 28 days, then ovulation falls on the 14-16th. That is, you need to take a calendar, mark on it the first day of menstruation, count from it and designate it as a day of ovulation of the 14th day. Fight for conception are five days before it and the day after.
The individual ovulation calendar “acts” in the case of a stable menstrual cycle. If the latter is characterized by frequent malfunctions, then the error of this method is obvious.
Definition of ovulation day: temperature method
This mini-examination is based on the property of the basal temperature of the body to change under the influence of individual factors. In our case, we are talking about a certain increase during ovulation, which is due to hormonal surge.
It is necessary to fix the temperature daily at the same time. The ideal option is after morning awakening, lying in bed. To get an objective result, do this for 10 minutes, introducing a thermometer into the rectum of 5 cm. Record the readings in a separate notebook in the form of a table or graph.
What conclusions will analyze the data obtained:
– The basal temperature of the first (main) part of the menstrual cycle is stable and is about 36.6 degrees;
– On the eve of ovulation, a temperature decreases by 0.3 degrees, rising in the next 3-4 days by 0.6;
– When pregnancy occurs, the temperature is held around the mark 37.1-37.3 ° C.
Modern methods for determining the date of ovulation
These include ovulation tests sold in pharmacies, and ultrasonic monitoring.
Ovulation tests are similar to those for pregnancy: a positive result is presented in the form of 2 strips. The test “captures” the moment of the maximum concentration of the hormone of ovulation – luteinizing. It is recommended to plan conception over the next three days after confirmation of ovulation.
Special ultrasound of the ovaries and uterine pipes is carried out in order to determine the presence of a follicle, the features of its ripening, readiness for exit and fertilization. The method is the most effective in terms of calculating the exact day of ovulation. Its small drawback – a woman should be under surveillance in a hospital for some time, starting from 6-7 days after the end of menstruation.
The course of the menstrual cycle recently depends on many factors: nutrition, lifestyle, mental and physical exertion. Therefore, for the most accurate calculation of favorable days for conception of a child, combine several methods at once
(2 and even 3).
Favorable days for conception of a child according to the lunar calendar
The definition of favorable days for conception on the moon is a little mystical method, but still quite influential for some couples.
According to lunar forecasts, conception is better to plan on:
days of the growing moon (first and second quarter);
the days when the moon passes through the “detorial” signs of the zodiac – Taurus, Cancer, Leo.
Also, the lunar stone and silver jewelry are favored by conception.
It is also important to take into account especially unfavorable lunar days for conception:
new moon and full moon;
Lunar quarter day – when the moon has the appearance of a flat half;
within a week before and after the lunar eclipse;
the days when the moon is in Scorpio.
Determining favorable days for conception of a child is quite difficult. The main thing is to be careful, patient and persistent. And remember that next to the physiological side of planning the baby, one should pay tribute and psychological – love, trust and mutual understanding. We wish you success!
