We are planning for a baby and i keep reading about timing it right around ovulation. But honestly how do u even know when the egg releases? Strips, app ya symptoms? Help me out yaar.
I tracked my cycle using ovulation kits to get pregnant, and though the morning sickness later was awful, the tracking part was worth it! Try testing with the strips around midday rather than early morning for the best result.
I am also currently planning and trying to figure this out! I've been tracking my body temperature every morning and using ovulation strips, but it's so confusing. Let me know if anyone has tips on tracking irregular cycles.
You don't need expensive track devices, just buy a pack of simple ovulation strips online or track your calendar. For a regular 28-day cycle, the egg usually releases around day 14. Just look out for stretchy, egg-white like discharge around that time.
Tracking your basal body temperature and noticing changes in cervical mucus are the easiest ways to spot egg release. When the discharge becomes slippery like raw egg whites, you are most fertile. Try having intercourse every alternate day during that window.
While tracking discharge or using home kits is fine, it's always safest to consult your gynac. They can do a simple follicular study scan to tell you the exact day of egg release. This is much more accurate and safe than guessing.
