Ovulation Calculating methods

Many women today choose to calculate their fertile days so as to determine when the best time for pregnancy is. This is a common practice for women who have some difficulty in conceiving, or those who are planning to have a baby and want to increase their chances of conceiving at a particular moment. If you have never done it before calculating ovulation can be a rather daunting task, because not all women have the same menstrual cycle and not every month is the same anyway. Here are some tips that can help women determine their fertile days.

1. Use a calculator: there are ovulation kits and ovulation test that can help women determine which their most fertile days are. These kits are available in drug stores and they are very accurate, helping you determines when to have an intercourse. A pregnancy ovulation calculator is quite easy to use, but all kits come with detailed descriptions and guidelines in them.

2. Use an ovulation calendar. The ovulation calendars are very helpful because they allow women to keep track of their period and ovulation days. They cannot tell you right away which your fertile days are, but after following them for a couple of months, they can prove to be very helpful.

3. Basal temperature calculation. Creating a chart with the basal body temperature can help you predict when your next ovulation will be. It is not the most accurate method, because it is mostly based on the temperature of the basal body, which gets higher when the ovulation symptoms occur, however it is a method that will allow you to be quite close. There are some particular ovulation tests that actually give you the chance to track the basal temperature and determine the right timing for that.

4. Calculate and track the period day. A regular menstrual cycle is from 25-28 days, although many women can have a 22 or even 32 day cycle. Women usually count the cycle from the first day of their period to the first day of the next cycle. If the amount of days becomes a sort of pattern, then that can help them determine their usual cycle. Ovulation occurs during the mid cycle, so for most women that could be from the 12-14th day. Using an ovulation calendar can help you determine your cycle, as precisely as possible.
