Ever wondered about the incredible event inside your body that could lead to new beginnings?

That's ovulation, a remarkable moment in your menstrual journey.

What's Ovulation?

Ovulation is your body's way of saying, "I'm ready for a potential baby!" It's when an egg leaves your ovary, all set to meet a friendly sperm for a chance at creating something special.

When Does it Happen?

Think of your menstrual cycle like a calendar. Ovulation usually happens around the middle, roughly day 14 in a 28-day cycle. But, your cycle might have its rhythm, so it's good to pay attention.

How it Works

Your ovaries take turns leading a dance. One releases a mature egg into the fallopian tube, guided by a surge in luteinizing hormone (LH). It's like a perfectly timed performance.

Signs Your Body Gives

Nature leaves clues. You might notice more slippery stuff down there (that's good – it helps sperm travel!), a tiny rise in body temperature, or sometimes a little twinge on one side.

Why Should You Know?

Understanding ovulation isn't just for baby planning. It helps you know your body better. Whether you're planning or just curious, knowing when ovulation happens is like having a secret key to your body's unique rhythm.
