If you are planning on having a baby in the next 9 to 12 months, the advice I'm going to share with you on the signs of ovulation can save you a lot of time, effort and heartache... and most importantly, help you get pregnant as quickly as humanly possible. I'm giving you this advice because knowing exactly when you ovulate is the key to shortening the time it takes to get pregnant. The problem many women face is that they're having sex at the wrong time of the month, when they are not fertile, and wondering why they're not getting pregnant.
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.
Rising LH can be detected in urine samples, and tested at home. These types of tests are said to be just as accurate as the more invasive tests that can be done in laboratories to detect LH if the directions are followed carefully. The brand that was reported by the study to be the most accurate is the ClearPlan Easy Ovulation Test Pack (Inverness Medical). You need to test at least 2 days before you think you will ovulate, and if your periods are not regular, you need to test a wider window of time.
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.
Examining the variations in your cervical mucus also gives you an indication of when you ovulate. In your most fertile time of the month, your secretions will transform from a dense, creamy liquid to something clear and almost liquid-like. Some women experience pain during ovulation, which can help to increase the accuracy of your prediction.
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.
