What is ovulation?

Question

Wat happen in ovulation and when does it happen? if i have sex after 3 days after period can i be pregnant?

Answer 1

You can get pregnant at any time but it is easier when you are ovulating.

Go to http://www.mymonthlycycles.com and put in your period info and it will calculate when you will be fertile and ovulating....

usually happens on the 14th day of your cycle but every woman is different and not every woman's cycle is 28 days.

What is ovulation?
When a young woman reaches puberty, she begins to ovulate - a process in which a mature egg cell (also called an ovum), ready for fertilization by a sperm cell, is released from one of the ovaries (two female reproductive organs located in the pelvis). If the egg is fertilized by a sperm cell as it travels down the fallopian tube, then pregnancy occurs and it becomes attached to the lining of the uterus until the placenta (an organ, shaped like a flat cake, that only grows during pregnancy and provides a metabolic interchange between the fetus and mother) develops. If the egg does not become fertilized as it travels down the fallopian tube on its way to the uterus, the endometrium (lining of the uterus) is shed and passes through the vagina (the passageway through which fluid passes out of the body during menstrual periods; also called the birth canal), a process called menstruation. As the average menstrual cycle lasts 28 days (starting with the first day of one period and ending with the first day of the next menstrual period), most women ovulate on day 14. At this time, some women experience minor discomfort in their lower abdomen, spotting, and/or bleeding, while others do not experience any symptoms at all. A woman is generally most fertile (able to become pregnant) a few days before, during, and after ovulation.

Answer 2

Sounds like you're having sex at exactly the right time. I was using a generic brand ovulation kit, and it was positive for three or four days as well, which was confusing. So I switched to a ClearBlue digital ovulation test. It shows an empty circle if you're not ovulating, and a happyface if you are :) It was much less confusing. For the second part of your question, I don't know if it's important to have sex everyday. My hubby and I tried to because we figured, the more chances the better! Some people say every other day though. Good luck. :D

Answer 3

First you can be pregnant almost any time and basing birth control on your cycle is a huge mistake. Ovulation is the release of an egg into your fallopian tubes where it meets a sperm and then if fertilized it anchors to your womb. Just as with brain cells, you are born with all the eggs you will ever have and menopause is the end of this supply.

Answer 4

Most likely not. Search Google for the technical definition of Ovulation. It happens just before your period.

Answer 5

depends on your period cycle,in a 28 day cycle u should be most fertile at the 14th day. the cycle starts from the first day you get your period to the day before your next period. ovulation is when the egg is ready to be fertilised

Answer 6

it is when the egg is ready! Then you should have sex to get pregnant. It usually a few day to a week before your period.

Answer 7

As far as I know, you need to ovulate to get pregnant....it is when the egg is released. After all, you need both the egg and sperm to get the baby.
