Ovulation is a pivotal part in conception, and the timing is what dictates the "fertile window." It is something that happens at predictable intervals for women with regular menstrual cycles—yet it’s not that easy for everyone to tell when it's happening!
Here are some ways to help identify if you’re ovulating:
These are ways that you can track and see if you’re ovulating on your own, but if after a few cycles it’s not clear when and if you’re ovulating—that’s OK. It’s not always straightforward for everyone, however it might be a good indication to reach out to your OB/GYN or a Fertility specialist to discuss it.
Even if you learn that you are not ovulating regularly—don’t worry. Talk with your doctor—there are ways we can help with that.
Hopefully this information was helpful to those of you looking to learn more about reproductive health!
