Xiaoling is one of my patients. She is 28 years old, married, and is actively preparing for pregnancy. One day, she shared with me mysteriously: "Dr. Qiu, I recently found that I have a few days every month when I really want to have sex with my husband..." I smiled and asked her: "Is it the ovulation period?" She said in surprise: "Yes, yes, yes! It's those days! How did you know?" I explained: "This is actually a very normal phenomenon. The ovulation period is a special period that women experience every month. During this period, a series of changes will occur in the body, including fluctuations in sex hormone levels, which will lead to increased sexual desire in women. "So, in addition to increased sexual desire, what other changes will occur in the body of women during ovulation? In fact, there are quite a few! Next, let me tell you one by one. The first is changes in the breasts. After ovulation, some women's breasts may become tender and swollen, and their breasts may increase slightly in size due to increased estrogen levels. This is actually a normal physiological reaction and there is no need to worry too much. After ovulation, these symptoms will gradually disappear. Secondly, the body's basal temperature will rise slightly. If you have the habit of recording your basal body temperature, you may discover this little secret. During ovulation, due to the effect of progesterone, the body temperature will be slightly higher than usual by 0.3-0.5℃. Although the changes are not big, you can still find them if you observe carefully. Next is the change in secretions. After entering the ovulation period, a woman's vaginal secretions will become thinner and more transparent, a bit like the egg white of laying hens. This is actually a "lubricant" prepared to facilitate the movement of sperm. If you find that your secretions increase significantly and have special changes during this period, it is very likely that you have entered the ovulation period. The last change is the appearance of ovulation symptoms. Some women experience mild abdominal pain, a heaviness, or discomfort in the lower back during ovulation. This pain is usually intermittent and does not last long. Some women describe it as "like their period is coming." In addition, some women may experience symptoms such as mood swings and fatigue. Generally speaking, ovulation is a special period when a series of changes occur in the female body. Although these changes may be inconvenient or distressing to some women, it is very important to understand them, accept them, and learn to live peacefully with them. At the same time, if you experience any abnormal or worrying symptoms during ovulation, it is recommended to consult a professional doctor in time! Then some female friends will ask: "Doctor, does ovulation increase the chances of pregnancy?" "How can I increase the chances of pregnancy?" Let me explain this to you below. The ovulation period is indeed a critical period to increase the chances of conception. Ovulation is the phase in a woman's menstrual cycle when the ovary releases a mature egg, which then awaits fertilization. By arranging sexual intercourse at the right time during the ovulation period, the possibility of conception can be significantly increased. To increase your chances of conceiving during your ovulation period, you can take the following steps: Calculate the ovulation day: If your menstrual cycle is regular, you can calculate the ovulation day through the menstrual cycle, which is usually about 14 days before the next menstruation. The chances of pregnancy will be higher if you have sex a few days before or after ovulation. Monitor ovulation: You can use ovulation test strips, measure basal body temperature, or go to the hospital for ultrasound monitoring to accurately determine the ovulation day and increase the chance of pregnancy. Control the frequency of sexual intercourse: Properly increasing the frequency of sexual intercourse a few days before and after ovulation can increase the chance of conception. But don't do it too frequently, so as not to affect sperm quality. Keep a happy mood: Keep a relaxed and happy mood and avoid tension and anxiety, which will help increase the success rate of conception. Pay attention to your diet: Eating a balanced diet and taking in enough nutrients can improve the quality of eggs and sperm and increase the chances of conception. Appropriate exercise: During the ovulation period, women can engage in appropriate aerobic exercise, such as jogging, yoga, etc., which can promote blood circulation in the body, enhance their own immunity, and help increase the pregnancy rate. Adjust your mindset: If a woman is under too much mental stress during ovulation, it may cause hormonal disorders in the body, thus affecting normal conception. It is recommended that women take appropriate outdoor walks to help relieve stress and maintain a good attitude. Drug conditioning: If a woman’s pregnancy rate does not increase through diet and lifestyle adjustments, she can take some medication for treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Please remember that even if the above measures are taken, there is no guarantee of a 100% success rate for conception. If you have been trying for a while but still have not gotten pregnant, it is recommended to seek the help of a doctor to rule out other factors that may cause infertility. The ovulation period is a critical period when a series of changes occur in the female body. We must learn to make rational use of this period to increase our chances of pregnancy and help you conceive better! Okay, that’s all for today’s topic! I hope all female friends can have a healthy and happy body! I also hope that the majority of male friends can care more about, understand and support the female friends around them! See you next time! Bye~ |
