Signs of Ovulation
During a regular menstrual cycle, there are hormonal changes which are reflected in your body. Every month these hormones cause one egg to mature and be released. Three hormones stimulate this process, gonadotropic hormones (GH), luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). For example, following the initial rising estrogen levels, luteinizing hormone (LH) levels peak between 12 to 36 hours prior to ovulation. Finding out when you're ovulating, by measuring the rise in LH can be simple with an ovulation test. These tests measure the amount of lutenizing hormone in your urine, which is one of the more accurate and scientific methods you can use to work out when you are most fertile. Although there are many fertility test kits on the market, the more pricey kits are more straight forward to work out, and give you pretty much similar results to what you could get with a laboratory. Some women prefer monitor their fluctuating hormone levels by measuring the changes in their saliva, as this is another sign of ovulation. You can buy test kits that assist you is identifying whether you're ovulating, based on the composition of your saliva. If you combine the saliva test with the urine test, you will achieve a greater accuracy in predicting ovulation. Prior to ovulation, cervical mucus also changes. It becomes more profuse, and may look similar to egg whites, clear and slippery. Once you have ovulated, the mucus will become cloudy or may even stop altogether. Although this observation method is simple and inexpensive, it may be hard to tell what is happening with your secretions. You are also required to get at the secretions to examine them. Cramping right before ovulation can be an indicator for some women, but not all women have cramps before their period. Predicting your most fertile time of month, by checking your cervical mucus and looking at fluctuations in your hormone levels is more suitable if you do not have irregular periods. If there is a problem with your menstrual cycle - and this can include irregularities, excessively heavy periods, light periods, or no periods at all, then you need to take action to regulate your cycle. One recommendation I make that has proven very successful is to balance the hormones with herbal cleansing and herbs that increase the fertility such as Fertil Plus. Knowing the signs of ovulation will increase your chances of getting pregnant in the next 12-18 months. However, taking a few extra steps can boost your fertility can shorten the time it takes you to conceive. Cleansing your body of toxins can get rid of any substances causing your hormones (and menstrual cycle) to become out of balance. Taking a herbal remedy - make sure it is organic - can also increase your fertility. And when you combine the herbal approach with the techniques I shared with you on identifying the signs and symptoms of ovulation, you can guarantee that you will hear the pitter-patter of little feet very soon. -->
