Fertility charting helps you learn your specific fertility signs. The two easiest signs of ovulation you should be charting are: 1. Your Basal Body Temperature 2. You Cervical Mucus By knowing when you are ovulating, you increase your chances of getting pregnant. This can be a simple process or a bit tricky depending on your body and your fertility signals. You need to spend some time to get to know your body and to listen to its messages. If you have been on birth control for years, you may have lost connection your feminine cycle and wisdom. The good news is that many women have signals that show when they are ovulating, you will too. Just listen!Learning fertility charting will help you very much. Basal Body Temperature One aspect of fertility charting involves taking your basal body temperature (BBT), which is the most common way to determine ovulation. You may know when you ovulate by the way you feel, but taking you BBT makes it more certain to you and your partner. If you are not charting you BBT yet, you should! This is the very first step toward getting to know your body and your fertility. Many women think that they are infertile because they do not get pregnant within a certain period of time, but when they start timing intercourse based on their fertile days (after learning fertility charting), they realize that before they were just missing important information and that after all they never had a fertility problem! Not every woman ovulates on day 14 and you need to know when you ovulate! fertility charting will show you when you actually ovulate. Basal body temperature (BBT) is the temperature of your body at rest. Take your temperature first thing in the morning before you even get out of bed to go to the bathroom. Record your temperate every day at the same time. When charting your basal body temperature you should use what is called a basal body temperature thermometer. It records temperatures to the tenth degree and is the most precise thermometer. By charting your temperatures you can see patterns in your menstrual cycle and be able to determine when you ovulate. Once you record your BBT every day for at least one month you will notice that just before ovulation your BBT increases and then stays high throughout the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. Once your temperature rises and stays high for at least three days you know you have ovulated. By recording your temperature shift you will learn which day of the month you are more likely to ovulate and so you will know to have intercourse just before that day the next month. If your temperature stays high you might be pregnant. Wait 40 straight days of high temperature before doing a home pregnancy test to confirm it. Your BBT will stay high throughout your pregnancy because the hormone progesterone is in charge during this time. When your temperature goes down, you will most likely have your period within the next 24 to 48 hours. Cervical Mucus Fertility charting also involves recording the changes of your cervical mucus throughout your cycle. You need to become very familiar with the quality, consistency, quantity, and color of your cervical mucus. This is where you will find out how your fertility plays out in your case. Cervical mucus changes during your monthly cycle. Knowing the changes of cervical mucus can help to achieve pregnancy. 1. Collect your cervical mucus. After going to the bathroom, wash your hands and insert your finger just inside the vagina to retrieve a small quantity of mucus. 2. Take a look at the mucus. When you have very little mucus you may not be fertile. If the mucus is creamy, thick, sticky and white in color, you are not fertile jet. When the mucus is clear, stringy and very stretchy, you are fertile and have the best chance to conceive. If you have fertile mucus you should be able to put some mucus between you thumb and your index finger and stretch it for at least 2-4 cm. If you are trying to avoid conception, do not have sex during this time or have protected intercourse. |
