Ovulation Charts

Determining the time of ovulation is facilitated by the use of ovulation prediction kits - or "OPK's" for short. Of course, ovulation is essential for the design happen!

Ovulation occurs when a mature egg is released. Ideal for design to occur, sperm must be ready and waiting for the egg - or at least come before the egg is gone.

Using OPK helps determine when ovulation will most likely occur during your cycle.

How do ovulation predictor kits work

The egg is expelled from the tube with the help of a hormone called luteinizing hormone (LH or). LH just before ovulation, OPK and detect this growth. Thus, if an LH surge is detected, ovulation will probably occur within 12-36 hours.

Unlike the mapping of your basal body temperature or cervical mucus, these kits predict ovulation. Mark simply tells you that ovulation has just taken place. Tracer is effective when he has done for several consecutive months to provide guidance on what day during the menstrual cycle ovulation happens.

Tips for using ovulation predictor kits

- It is useful to test all day at the same time each day, preferably in the early afternoon. If, for example, you measure a day in the morning and then not until the late afternoon the next day, over 24 is past. The LH surge does not last very long if you can actually miss if you let up more than 24 hours pass;

- Test early afternoon - around 14 hours is best. LH is usually produced in the morning, then you're more likely to detect the LH peak in the afternoon;

- Begin testing with the ovulation prediction kits about Day 8 of your cycle. If your cycle is long - like 32 days or more - Trial about Day 11 or not. If your cycle is short - like 21 days - Trial about Day 5. This will minimize the risk of missing the peak of LH.

Maximize your chances of getting pregnant!

Remember, once the LH surge is detected, ovulation will probably occur within 12-36 hours.

This ovulation "window" is short - the unfertilized egg typically has a lifespan of 24 hours to reach - and occurs only once a month. It is imperative to take advantage of this opportunity and have sex in this period.

Please note that it is possible to not ovulate for a month, despite detecting an LH surge. Ovulation does not necessarily occur in each cycle. In addition, there may be some women who do not ovulate at all. This is something that should be followed by a doctor.

Maximize the chances of conception with the OPK

- If you start testing on day 8, began to have sex on day 6 - a couple of days in advance;

- Having sex every two days until your OPK turns positive. This will give your partner's sperm a few days to rebuild the next time you have connections, and it will not dry out your cervical mucus;

- Start sex every day for three days straight days after the LH surge is detected.

If you have sex just before ovulation, the sperm will already be present in your body when the egg is released. This is optimal for the design!
