Importance of Predicting the Ovulation to Your Having a Baby Plan

If you are planning to have a baby, one of the needed preparations is detecting the ovulation. It will show you the time when you are most fertile. You can have the higher chance of getting pregnant if you have sexual intercourse near the time of ovulation. Your homework is detecting if the process of egg releasing from the ovary is about to come because the egg itself just can survive not more than 24 hours. Otherwise, healthy sperm can stay alive for two or five days. The sexual intercourse started from one to five days before ovulation is able to optimize the possibility of fertilization.

The simplest and most common way to detect the ovulation is using ovulation test strip. It is used to check the rising level of luteinizing hormone that stimulates the ovum release. The appearing colored bands can tell you if it is the time. The ovulation is about to occur.  Technically, the pregnancy can only happen during the five days before ovulation through the day of ovulation. It is called fertile window that reflects the lifespan of sperm and egg or ovum. The probability is about 10% if you do the intercourse five days before you ovulate. Your chance gets rising steadily until the two days and the ovulating day. To increase the odds of pregnancy, it is recommended to intercourse for 2 or 3 times a day during the fertile window.

The ovutest test strip is useful to help you detect the increasing LH level which is known as a sign of ovum releasing. Besides testing the urine, you can also pay attention to the cervical mucus and basal temperature changes. The discomfort on lower abdominal can also tell you if the ovulation is about to come, just like the way you recognize the pre menstruation symptoms.
