Ovulation

Executive Summary By Elizabeth Morgan

Ovulation is one such phase of the menstrual cycle, when an egg or ovum is released from ovaries. It does sound simple, but Ovulation depends on the interplay of glands and hormones. In turn, the pituitary gland produces luteinizing hormone (LH) and FSH. High levels of LH cause Ovulation within two days. If the ovum does not encounter a sperm within 24 hours it dies.

This persuades them to mistake Ovulation for premenstrual symptoms, if accompanied by pain and changes in body.

Ovulation And Conception

Conception and Ovulation are two sides of same coin and a crucial stage in the delicate balance of hormonal system, sperm production and pregnancy. A man produces sperm every day, while women ovulate only once during an ovulation cycle. During Conception several eggs are released by both ovaries. Ovulation is triggered by the body releasing luteinizing hormone, or LH. The embryo, containing about 50 to 100 cells, reaches the uterus about five days after ovulation. Certain antibiotics, like tetracyclines, affect a woman’s cycle of hormonal contraception, fertility treatments or hormone replacement therapy. Traveling, change of jobs, illness, weight loss or vigorous exercising can affect Ovulation.

On occasions, such as sex during fertile time, some women do not conceive immediately, or the egg does not implant even with Ovulation. The problem is the timing of intercourse, since Conception takes place with Ovulation and it is spoiled by hard work, stress or problems. Strategize Conception and Ovulation by maintaining an Ovulation calendar to predict fertile dates, end of menstrual cycle and possible due dates.

Ovulation and Conception are major issues in a woman’s life, Conception is more likely to be successful if a woman maintains a calm attitude through activities and diet that enhance fertility.

Ovulation Bleeding

Ovulation Bleeding is different from menstrual flow. If bleeding occurs at 2 weeks interval then it is due to lack of ovulation and can be due to irritation to cervix or polyps in cervix or uterus. A clinical examination with an ultrasound image of pelvic organs can confirm the cause of Ovulation Bleeding.

It is during this process of maturing and bursting out from the follicle that pain or bleeding occurs. Few women are discomfited by bleeding, as it is a signal of ovulation, or they bleed slightly in middle of their cycle. Severe or long-lasting bleeding during ovulation is sometimes symptomatic of certain gynecological conditions, including endometriosis. Also if bleeding is heavy during ovulation or lasts longer than 3 days then take medical advice.

Women with regular menstrual bleeding can differentiate between Ovulation Bleeding and the menstrual period. A physical examination of the uterus helps detect causes of abnormal bleeding. If Ovulation Bleeding is accompanied by pain or acute discomfiture, then start worrying.
