Ovulation peaks: Exploring a new peak in female reproductive health

So, what is ovulation? How is it determined? And what measures should be taken to ensure fertility during this period?

Ovulation refers to the time when a woman’s eggs are released from the ovaries and enter the fallopian tubes to wait for fertilization. This process usually occurs on day 14 of a woman's menstrual cycle, but the exact date will vary based on individual differences. Generally speaking, during this period, women's body temperature will rise, and they may feel some discomfort, such as headaches, nausea, etc.

To predict ovulation, women can do the following:

1. Measure basal body temperature: When women wake up every morning, measure their oral or anal body temperature. Basal body temperature refers to the average body temperature measured from the first day. During ovulation, basal body temperature usually rises by 0.3-0.5 degrees Celsius.

2. Observe symptoms: Women can observe whether they have any symptoms, such as headache, nausea, breast discomfort, etc. These symptoms usually peak around the time of ovulation.

3. Use a pregnancy test kit: Women can use a pregnancy test kit to detect whether they are pregnant. These tools usually require testing at a specific time, such as day 10 or 14 of the menstrual cycle.

During this period, women should take some steps to ensure fertility. For example, she should maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, adequate sleep, moderate exercise, etc. In addition, she should avoid harmful substances such as smoking, drinking alcohol and taking drugs.

If a woman wants to have a baby, it's best to take steps when ovulation is at its peak. For example, she can arrange a date night (date night refers to a date with her boyfriend at night so that she can have sex during this period), or use emergency contraceptive pills (such as oral emergency contraceptive pills or emergency contraceptive rings) to avoid pregnancy.

In summary, women should know how to predict ovulation and what steps to take during this period to ensure fertility. In addition, women should maintain a healthy lifestyle to ensure reproductive health.
