When do woman ovulate?

Question

This has always convused me cause ive never had a strait answer!

Answer 1

Between day 12 and day 16 after her period. After menstration the uterus starts building up a lining from endothelial cells. Once this process is complete an ovium (egg) is released via the falopian tubes into the uterus awaiting fertilisation. If the ovium is not fertilised the lining on the uterus starts to break down from about day 27, thus causing a period. The day of ovulation is also of course when the woman is most fertile, as the ovium is fresh, and less prone to problems.

Answer 2

many times speaking, on accepted, a woman will ovulate around day 14 of her menstrual cycle, supply or take an afternoon or so. it is the time, some week or 2 until now her menstrual era and the time while she is the main fertile. nonetheless, sperm can stay in a woman's physique for as much as approximately 4 days approx, meaning a woman can nonetheless get pregnant 4 days until now ovulation and four days after (supply or take an afternoon or 2). consequently, in case you're in step with a woman's ovulation to predict while to steer clear of getting a woman pregnant, that may no longer a good gadget - exceptionally if she does not ovulate precise on the middle of her cycle. Menstrual cycles can replace each and each month and a woman can ovulate early, late or very late. Now in case you're hoping for a being pregnant, then a woman is the main fertile some million-2 weeks until now her menstrual cycle starts. she would be in a position to ovulate until now her cycle - no longer after.

Answer 3

For LOADS of good information about how your cycles work, how the hormonal feedback loop works, how female fertility works, I highly recommend "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" by Toni Weschler. I was literally amazed at how much I didn't know about my own body and how many of the myths about female fertility are exactly that.

Anyway, it's ovulation that determines when your period will come. Most women ovulate 12-16 days before their period and within women this post-ovulatory (or luteal) phase rarely fluctuates by more than a day. You can learn to determine when you personally are ovulating by charting your basal body temperature on a daily basis, as well as monitoring your body's secondary fertility signs.

TCOYF teaches the Fertility Awareness Method, which can be used either as an aid in conceiving or a method of birth control. I'm not currently using for either, but am glad of the knowledge anyway.

Answer 4

It varies - I ovulate about 7 days after my period. I know this as I get a sharp pain the same time every month and my GP told me it was ovulation. I think 7 days after a period is pretty much the norm but can depend on the individuals cycle.

Answer 5

Hi it depend on your body and your hormones, some ovulate after there period and some women ovulate 2 weeks before there period. Sometimes you know if you feel a sharpe pain on one of you sides where your ovarys are, this is when your body releases an egg and this is when you ovulate, just see if you get this or you bloat.

Answer 6

If you have normal periods at 26-30 day intervals then your ovulation is on the 14th day of the start of your period, plus or minus 24 hours. You also get a skight rise of temperature on the day of ovulation. You can accurately know the day of ovulation by taking your temperature daily from the 10th day till 17th day. The day the temp. is slightly raised is the day of your ovulation. Some girls get a mild pain in the lower abdomen on the day of ovulation.

Answer 7

Everyone is different of course but a woman on an average 28 day cycle should ovulate 14 days before her period comes, so this is when you need to be extra careful if you're not trying to conceive. The 'safest' time (if you are have unprotected sex) is actually just before your period is due, but don't take the risk!

Answer 8

Women normally ovulate once a month about 10 to 18 days after menses. The menstrul cycle is normally 28 days from the beginning of one menses(period) to the beginning of the next. Ovulation occurs around the half way point of that cycle.

Answer 9

you will never receive a stright forward answer because there is not one. every woman ovulates at different times of themonth, and there is no magic number here. from my antomy class if i remember correctly, you ovulate every 3-4 weeks...somewhere in there during that time gap. i am sorry that i cannot be more helpful but you will never have two answers to this question that match!

Answer 10

If you have never had a straight answer then perhaps you should learn this for yourself rather than asking again, all women should know the basics about how their body works and how conception occurs, in fact all men should know this as well. There are plenty of web sites and books available that explain the basics of the reproductive system; you need to know these things in order to take care of yourself.

[Although granted, by the answers I can see a lot don't know this!]

A woman ovulates once per cycle normally with an egg that lives for up to 48 hours, normally ovulation occurs between days 12 and 16 of your menstrual cycle, day 1 being the first day of true bleeding on your period. During ovulation the body temperature changes, the cervix also softens and opens, producing cervical mucus, these are the most common ways to detect ovulation, however some women have secondary ovulation signs such as ovulation pains. Cervical mucus is produced so that the sperm to reach the egg they need a medium in which to swim through as well as to keep them protected from the acidic environment of the vagina, this is the purpose of cervical mucus and normally occurs five days before ovulation up until ovulation, with cervical mucus sperm can live up to 5 days.

If you observe your body even using basic methods you may be able to see when you ovulate, I'd also advise buying yourself a book called 'Taking Charge of Your Fertility: The Definitive Guide to Natural Birth Control, Pregnancy Achievement and Reproductive Wealth' by Toni Weschler, this teaches Fertility Awareness Method, this is a highly reliable form of birth control, method for pregnancy achievement and sexual health care that works by teaching you how to tell exactly what your body and reproductive system is doing at any given time. The book is chock full of 510 pages on your reproductive system. You can buy the book from most good book shops or from Amazon here - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Taking-Charge-Your-Fertility-Reproductive/dp/0091887585/sr=8-1/qid=1159900855/ref=pd_ka_1/026-8010815-4385217?ie=UTF8&s=books

Each women is different, there are women who can tell quite accurately when they ovulate and when their fertile periods are within their cycle, however for the most of us in order to determine when we ovulate or when we are fertile we need to use tracking methods such as Fertility Awareness Method, simple tracking methods such as calendar methods using websites such as Fertility Friend, using electronic devices such as Persona or less sophisticated methods such as CycleBeads.
