Ovulation and Pregnancy

How much do you know about ovulation and pregnancy? A woman must know about her ovulation cycles in order to get pregnant more quickly. The more you know about how your own cycle works, the better.

Maybe you have a short cycle of less than 28 days. Maybe your cycles are longer than 30 days. Maybe you're ovulating later than midway through your ovulation cycle.

But you won't know these things unless you're tracking your ovulation cycles each month. Many women get pregnant without knowing when they ovulated - They maybe didn't even plan the pregnancy. But women like you and me (those who have been trying for awhile to conceive and are having trouble) need some extra tools to increase our odds.

Tracking your BBT (or basal body temperature) is a good first step. In order to get a pretty good idea when you ovulate each month, it's important to track you BBT's for at least two months so you have two months to compare to each other. But if they are greatly different and you know you're ovulating irregularly, then tracking for longer is imperative for you to learn your patterns. BBT charting gives you an overall look at when you ovulate - after the fact - so it's a good idea to use other methods along with this one. (Go here for more information on BBT charting.)

OPK's (or ovulation predictor kits) are also a good method for tracking ovulation. After a positive result, ovulation typically occurs within 36 hours, so you get a heads up before ovulation instead of after in order to step up your baby-making efforts. Learn about the different ovulation predictor methods.

Cervical mucus observation is also a method I like. Observing your cervical fluid not only helps you to know that ovulation is approaching, you can also realize whether or not you need to take steps to improve your cervical fluid by drinking more water or taking a supplement such as evening primrose oil.

Learn more about increasing or improving your cervical mucus.

Other signs to look for when learning about your ovulation cycles are ovulation bleeding and painful ovulation, such as ovulation cramps. Ovulation bleeding or spotting and painful ovulation with ovulation cramps can mean that you are ovulating good and strong (as some theorize). If this pain is extreme or debilitating, though (beyond simple cramping), it may be a good idea to see your doctor to make sure there's nothing else going on.

My advice would be to learn more about your own ovulation times in order to make your pregnancy dreams a reality much quicker. Detecting ovulation and pregnancy achievement go hand in hand for those who want to get pregnant faster.
