Your ovulation, day by day
A new cycle starts here!
Thu, December 5, 2019day 1, menstrual phase.
28 days to your next cycle.
• Although the menstrual cycle lasts typically 3 to 5 days, anything between 2 to 7 days is considered normal.
Fri, December 6, 2019day 2, menstrual phase.
27 days to your next cycle.
• The average bloodloss during menstruation is 35 milliliters (1.2 fl.oz) and anything between 10 and 80 ml (0.33 - 2.7 fl.oz) is considered normal.
Sat, December 7, 2019day 3, menstrual phase.
26 days to your next cycle.
• Because of the bloodloss during the monthly menstrual cycle, women require more iron then men.
Sun, December 8, 2019day 4, menstrual phase.
25 days to your next cycle.
• Many women experience uterine cramps during menstruation.
Mon, December 9, 2019day 5, follicular phase.
24 days to your next cycle.
• The lining of the uterine wall is now at its thinnest. The levels of progesterone and estrogen are now at their lowest.
As a result of the increase in Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), five to seven tertiary follicles will be utilised. One of these will become the egg cell.
Tue, December 10, 2019day 6, follicular phase.
23 days to your next cycle.
• The selected follicles have been developing for almost a year in a process known as folliculogenesis. The follicles vie for dominance.
Wed, December 11, 2019day 7, follicular phase.
22 days to your next cycle.
• Due to the influence of several hormones most follicles will die in a process known as atresia. One or two will remain and become mature follicles.
Thu, December 12, 2019day 8, follicular phase.
21 days to your next cycle.
• Fertility increases as the follicular phase progresses.
Fri, December 13, 2019day 9, follicular phase.
20 days to your next cycle.
• As the remaining follicles mature they produce more estrogen. The estrogen ensures that a new edometrial layer is formed in the womb and that cervical glands produce fertile mucus.
Sat, December 14, 2019day 10, follicular phase.
19 days to your next cycle.
• The time required to recruit and select the most dominant follicles can result in variations in the length of menstrual cycles.
•
Research has indicated a long menstrual cycle can be shortened by placing a clear 100w lamp beside the bed five nights before ovulation.
Sun, December 15, 2019day 11, follicular phase.
18 days to your next cycle.
• Sperm lives on average 1 to 5 days but can survive up to 8 days. If you are
trying to conceive the best time to try is between now and the next 5 days.
Bcause ovulation varies among women it is suggested
between now and the following 9 days is the optimum time to try to conceive.
Mon, December 16, 2019day 12, follicular phase.
17 days to your next cycle.
• Today and for the next three days is the best time to try to conceive.
Tue, December 17, 2019day 13, follicular phase.
16 days to your next cycle.
• If the egg matures it will produce enough estradiol to begin the process of secretion of (LH) luteinizing hormone.
Wed, December 18, 2019day 14, follicular phase.
15 days to your next cycle.
• During an average cycle the release of LH begins around day 12 and lasts approximately 48 hours.
Thu, December 19, 2019day 15,
ovulation phase.
14 days to your next cycle.
• Ovulation: The ovaries release the egg which travels into the fallopian tube. IF fertilisation takes plae it will occure today or tomorrow in this fallopian tube. An egg can be fertilised up to 48 hours after release.
Fri, December 20, 2019day 16, luteal phase.
13 days to your next cycle.
• After ovulation the ovarian follicle which released the egg changes and is known as the corpus luteum or yellow body. Over the next 14 days this will produce progesterone. Progesterone helps prepare the uterus for implantation and maintains the lining which provides food to the newly implanted egg.
Sat, December 21, 2019day 17, luteal phase.
12 days to your next cycle.
• Approximately 24 to 30 hours after fertilisation the first mitosis or cell division takes place.
Increased progesterone raises the body temperature in order to provide the optimum conditions for the egg.
Body temperature is increased by 0.25 to 0.50 of a degree. Women who take note of their basal body temperature will notice that the luteal phase has begun.
Sun, December 22, 2019day 18, luteal phase.
11 days to your next cycle.
• If fertiliation has taken place the egg and spermatozoon are known collectively as the zygote. The zygote will travel through the fallopian tube to the uterus. This journey of 10cm or 4 inches proceeds at a rate of 1.5cm or 0.6 inches.
Mon, December 23, 2019day 19, luteal phase.
10 days to your next cycle.
• If the released egg is not fertilised within 24 to 48 hours, the rest of the luteal phase will be infertile.
Tue, December 24, 2019day 20, luteal phase.
9 days to your next cycle.
Once the division of the zygote cells increases to 16, the collection of cells are known as a morula.
Wed, December 25, 2019day 21, luteal phase.
8 days to your next cycle.
Thu, December 26, 2019day 22, luteal phase.
7 days to your next cycle.
The morula also grows quickly dividing continuously from 16 to 32, 32 to 64 and 6 to 128 cells. Within this ball of cells an empty space begins to form. The ball is now called a blastocyst. In a short time the cells multiple so rapidly that individual cells cannot be pinpointed.
Fri, December 27, 2019day 23, luteal phase.
6 days to your next cycle.
• A fertilised blastocyst attaches itself to the uterine wall. At the point where the cell meets the uterus the umbilical cord and placenta begin to form. This implantation can happen today or within the next few days.
Sat, December 28, 2019day 24, luteal phase.
5 days to your next cycle.
• Shortly after the implantation of the growing embryo, other changes will take place in the body. One of the first signals is the secretion of pregnancy hormone human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hGC). This is the hormone picked up by pregnancy tests.
Sun, December 29, 2019day 25, luteal phase.
4 days to your next cycle.
• The quantity of hCG increases but may still be too low to be recognised by the standard over the counter pregnancy test. The amount of hGC doubles every 2 to 3 days.
Mon, December 30, 2019day 26, luteal phase.
3 days to your next cycle.
• An hGC bloodtest will now be able to detect the slight increase in hCG but it is still too early for a urine test to be accurate.
Tue, December 31, 2019day 27, luteal phase.
2 days to your next cycle.
Wed, January 1, 2020day 28, luteal phase.
1 days to your next cycle.
• From today a sensitive urine based pregnancy test might be able to detect hGC for a positive result. However, a negative test does not mean there is no pregnancy but can indicate that hGC levels are still not sufficient to be measured.
