How to Chart Ovulation

By Greg White


If you are one of the lucky ones, you may never have to worry about ovulation and conceiving. This is because of the fact that you appear to have no concerns when it comes to getting pregnant, and you already have the family that you want. Nonetheless some like to know about when they're ovulating in order that they can up the chances of getting pregnant on any particular cycle. If you are dealing with fertility issues it is critical to understand about your ovulation cycle and how it interacts with any pregnancy drugs you may be prescribed. If that is the case that you've got to have a good idea about when you are most fertile, an ovulation chart might be your best bet.

Many women are under the assumption they're ovulating on day 14 of their menstral cycle, and this is because that it is a good rule of thumb. Quite truthfully, though some do ovulate on that day, but there are several women who don't. Because they are not aware that they are ovulating later or perhaps earlier than that, they plan conception at the wrong time, and they haven't any idea why they are not getting pregnant. A good ovulation chart can easily clear up this issue for them.

An ovulation chart is done by charting your temperature everyday. You can not just take any temp though, it's got to be your basal temp. This is the temperature you will get when you first wake up in the morning. You need to take your temperature prior to getting up, go to the bathroom, or do anything . You put this temperature on your ovulation chart and then see what happens through your cycle. This works best when you do not forget to do it everyday but you can still get an excellent idea of what is going on if you miss one or two days.

What you'll find with your ovulation chart is that your temps will rise after ovulation. When your temp goes up four days in a row, you can be sure you have released an egg. The final day of low temps is the day of ovulation. If you do this a few months in a row, you will get an idea of when is the ideal time to have sex for conceiving. It may change every month, but you will have a general idea of your cycle by then, and you can select the best times. If you find that your temp stays up at least 20 days after your ovulation date, you might need to go out and get a pregnancy test. You may be pregnant.

Charts to track ovulation can help you understand your menstral cycle and help you plan for conception.
