After ovulation, your discharge may decrease in volume and appear thicker or cloudier. Not everyone experiences symptoms with ovulation, so these signs are considered secondary in tracking your fertility. Your menstrual cycle resets the day that your menstrual flow begins. This is the start of the follicular phase, where the egg matures and is later released during ovulation, around day After ovulation comes the luteal phase.
If pregnancy occurs during this phase, hormones will keep the lining from shedding with a menstrual period. Otherwise, a flow will start around day 28 of the cycle, beginning the next cycle.
One study from suggested that some may even have the potential to ovulate two or three times in a given menstrual cycle. Not only that, but in an interview with NewScientist , the lead researcher said that 10 percent of the study participants actually produced two eggs in one month. Other people may release multiple eggs during one ovulation either naturally or as part of reproductive assistance. If both eggs are fertilized, this situation may result in fraternal multiples, like twins.
So, if you have sex in the days leading up to ovulation or on the day of ovulation itself, you may become pregnant. Once the egg is in the fallopian tubes, it lives for around 24 hours before it can no longer be fertilized, thus ending the fertile window.
Charting your BBT may be impacted by a number of factors that influence your body temperature, like illness or alcohol use. In one study, charting only accurately confirmed ovulation in 17 of 77 cases.
Fertility monitors, on the other hand, boast the potential to increase your chances of pregnancy with just one month of use. Still, these tools might not work well for everyone. You only need to have sex once during your fertile window to achieve pregnancy. The egg is released. Finger-like structures called fimbriae sweep the egg into the neighboring fallopian tube.
The egg travels through the fallopian tube, propelled in part by contractions in the fallopian tube walls. Here in the fallopian tube, the egg may be fertilized by a sperm. If the egg is fertilized, the egg and sperm unite to form a one-celled entity called a zygote. As the zygote travels down the fallopian tube toward the uterus, it begins dividing rapidly to form a cluster of cells called a blastocyst, which resembles a tiny raspberry. When the blastocyst reaches the uterus, it implants in the lining of the uterus and pregnancy begins.
If the egg isn't fertilized, it's simply reabsorbed by the body — perhaps before it even reaches the uterus. About two weeks later, the lining of the uterus sheds through the vagina.
