The sentence contains offensive content. The lining of the uterus endometrium becomes thicker and more enriched with blood in the second part of this phase after menstruation is over , in response to increasing levels of estrogen.
High levels of estrogen stimulate the production of gonadotropin-releasing hormone GnRH , which in turn stimulates the pituitary gland to secrete luteinizing hormone LH. The surge in LH also causes a brief surge in testosterone, which increases sex drive, right at the most fertile time of the cycle. The release of the mature egg happens on about day 14 as a result of a surge in LH and FSH over the previous day.
After release, the egg enters the fallopian tube where fertilization may take place, if sperm are present. If the egg is not fertilized, it disintegrates after about 24 hours. Once the egg is released, the follicle seals over and this is called the corpus luteum.
The corpus luteum produces progesterone. If fertilization has occurred, the corpus luteum continues to produce progesterone which prevents the endometrial lining from being shed. If fertilization has not occurred, the corpus luteum disintegrates, which causes progesterone levels to drop and signals the endometrial lining to begin shedding.
There is a range of normal bleeding — some women have short, light periods and others have longer, heavy periods. Your period may also change over time.
Simply tracking your cycle on a calendar, along with some details of your bleeding and symptoms can help you understand your cycle.
Record when your period starts and ends, what the flow was like, and describe any pain or other symptoms bloating, breast pain etc. Over several cycles you will be able to see patterns in your cycle, or identify irregularities that are occurring. There are also numerous apps available to help you track your period.
If your periods come regularly every days, chances are excellent that you are ovulating. Beyond simple calendar tracking, there are a few ways to figure out the timing of your own personal menstrual cycle. Separately or used together, these can be used to help determine when and whether you are ovulating. Three methods you can try are cervical mucus testing , basal body temperature monitoring, and ovulation prediction kits.
The cells lining your cervical canal secrete mucus. The consistency of this mucus changes over your cycle. When you are most fertile it will be clear, abundant, and stretchy. To give you an idea of the consistency, this type of fertile mucus is sometimes abbreviated as EWCM — egg-white cervical mucus.
Watching the changes in the amount and consistency of your cervical mucus can help you understand your cycle. Alternatively you can insert a clean finger into your vagina to obtain a sample of mucus. Observe and record the consistency of the mucus, and use this chart to identify where you are in your cycle. Your mucus can be cloudy, white, yellowish, or clear. It can have either a sticky or stretchy consistency. Use your thumb and forefinger to see if the mucus stretches.
You are most fertile on the days when you have abundant, stretchy mucus. This is not a foolproof method to prevent pregnancy.
