The placenta produces chorionic gonadotropin, known as HCG, a glycoprotein composed of two parts, one called the other alpha and beta, which is detected in pregnancy tests. This ho...

Through the observation of several signs and symptoms - cervical mucus, basal temperature, the ovulation sticks and minor symptoms such as spotting, abdominal pains and tension breast - can detect so-called "right days" that our fertile period. The most fertile period is the peak of the cycle, the last day when there is mucus (regardless of quantity) or the feeling of wet / slippery, but not knowing exactly when it will peak, you're trying to reports on alternate days from the day is observed the presence of stringy mucus until the sensation disappears wet / slippery. Abdominal pain can be a good sign of fertile days and may occur as a quick bite or a painful cramp in the groin, at the right or left ovary, but may also occur in renal or lumbar region. Can be felt during a single day and for short duration, such as a sudden painful cramp or a stab in the lower abdomen that disappears almost immediately, in other cases it may last for several days and at times may resemble menstrua...

Ovulation tests allow early detection of ovulation by tracking the two hormones in urine characteristic of the latter, ie estradiol and luteinizing hormone (LH) which triggers ovulation peak. - The stick person: they are marketed for use with the appropriate computer "person" but it is much easier and cheaper to read alone. Consist of three parts: cap, reading window and absorbent pad. The test can be performed at any time, taking a few seconds to buffer directly under the jet of pee or soaking in a glass in which we have previously collected urine. Having covered the pad with the cap, place the stick on a flat surface and read the result after a second reading in the window. Holding the stick with his right hand: - Only line SX => ovulation is far - SX line = line DX => ovulation is approaching - Only line of DX or DX line above the line SX => ovulation is imminent and could occur within the next 36-48 hours. The identification of the peak can not guarantee 100% t...

The mucus is produced by glands that are located in the cervical canal and has a primary protective function. In fact, it forms a cap that closes the cervical canal passage between the vagina and uterus, thus preventing bacteria or other foreign organizations, enter the uterine cavity. For most of the cycle, the mucus is also impenetrable to sperm and then only near ovulation becomes, facilitating their passage to the uterus, protecting and nourishing. If the amount of mucus is not enough, or its chemical properties make it hostile to sperm, fertilization can not happen, although there are reports in the right time. The mucus is the most obvious signal to detect the initial and final phase of the fertile period. The quantity and quality of cervical mucus changes during the cycle, under the influence of estrogen and progesterone: the preovulatory phase, when estrogen increases, produces a kind of fertile mucus, elastic and stringy, you can also lengthen several cm. between thum...

The temperature method is a natural method used to detect ovulation because, contrary to popular belief, this is not always and for all at mid-cycle. To measure the basal temperature needed to obtain a thermometer. you can use a specific pharmacy you buy, and a thermometer that has the notches further apart and thus is easier to read, or you can use a standard mercury thermometer or a digital thermometer. You can start the measurement from the first day of menstruation or soon after the end of menstruation, giving data on a daily basis with the precision of the tenth grade The basal temperature is measured in the morning after sleeping at least three hours in a row, preferably at the same time or at least up to a difference of half an hour more or less than usual time of measurement. If measure either the tb in a different time than usual, must indicate the time change on the graph. You can measure: Rectal is the best, most reliable and is recommended on books about natural m...
