The three main methods of “test paper”, “temperature” and “pulling”! All 3 methods can indicate ovulation, but some people find it hard to grasp because they don’t know their characteristics. 1, measuring body temperature is a very good method, the standard (I’m talking about the standard, not a particular person) basal body temperature presents a biphasic, from the low temperature zone to the high temperature zone when the transition there is a low point, the low point of the next day body temperature will immediately rise, this low point is the moment of ovulation, unfortunately many people when she found that the temperature has risen, realize that yesterday’s low temperature may be the day of ovulation, ovulation has passed. This is one of the drawbacks of measuring temperature, it is an afterthought. It becomes a horse’s hindsight! However, it is very effective to determine your luteal function, endocrine status or from the number of days of high temperature to determine whether you are pregnant or not from the temperature curve. 2. And then there is the lasso: the “peak mucus day” of Bislam In a normal menstrual cycle, the first few days after menstruation, there is no mucus in the cervix and the vulva feels dry. Later, as the level of estrogen in the blood rises, the cervical canal begins to produce mucus, which first appears cloudy, thick and yellow, and after a few days becomes thin and clear, like egg white, and can be pulled into 10 cm long strands without stopping. At this time the vulva has a feeling of lubrication. The last day of this lubrication is called the “peak mucus day” by Billings. Thereafter, under the effect of progesterone, mucus secretion decreases significantly, and mucus becomes cloudy again, sticky and easily broken. PL should occur on what Billings calls the “peak mucus day”. This is the last day. However, there are long and short days with mucus, and it is not easy to grasp that day is the last day. 3. Finally, the test strip: the follicle is developed by the action of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). In the 24 hours before PL, there is a peak in LH and it is bound to occur. So, we use the ovulation test paper to detect this peak. When the color of the second line of the test paper is close, the same, or exceeds the color of the first line, you know you are going to ovulate within 24 hours. It’s very visual, very understandable, and gives you plenty of time to prepare. However, the more difficult thing is that it is difficult to judge the color. Is it the peak when the color is close? Or will it deepen again tomorrow? So, it is required to measure twice or more per day at this time. If the color starts to get lighter, then the previous test is the peak. 4, how to use ovulation test paper: it is recommended to start measuring on the tenth day of menstruation, once a day if you find that it is gradually turning stronger, you should increase the frequency of the test, try to test to strong positive, it is best to test every 4 hours to catch the moment when the strong positive turns weak, ovulation occurs after the LH peak, LH peak however, it is impossible to ovulate, that is to say, ovulation occurs when the strong positive turns weak. If you find a rapid change, it means that the egg is going to break out of the shell, so you have to hurry up! 24 hours to start the countdown! After the LH peak, you must ovulate within 24 hours, when you don’t know how long the sperm can actually survive, the strong positive change must do your homework, because it is really the biggest chance of the day. You should not think that if you do your homework, you are done. Continue to test the ovulation test paper, don’t be afraid to waste the test paper, keep testing until it is negative, you can rest for a few days at this time, and start testing the ovulation test paper again every day 10 days after ovulation.
