Ovulation Calculator: Ovulation
Ovulation - the most fertile time during your menstrual cycle - is the moment a mature egg is released from the follicle of an ovary. Once released, the egg has a life span of about 24 hours. Conception is most likely to take place at this time - so precise ovulation prediction is key. Below you will find an FAQ of Ovulation Basics. Also see Understanding your Menstrual Cycle.

Ovulation Kits - WikiFAQ - Answers to Frequently Asked Quest...
Ovulation is the process of an ovary releasing an egg from the follicle, permitting the egg to float down the fallopian tubes. Conception, or fertilization, occurs when the male's sperm meets with the woman's ovum (egg) and successfully penetrates it, typically in a fallopian tube. Then the fertilized egg travels to the uterus and implants in the uterine lining. For pregnancy to take place, fertilization of the egg must be followed by a successful implantation.

Does ovulation occur when my cervical fluid is most abundant, or afterwards?

TCOYF Fertility FAQs
This is actually a very interesting question, because the answer is not intuitive. Every single woman has one day in her cycle that is more fertile than any other day, but that day is not usually the day she ovulates! How can that be? Generally speaking, your most fertile day is considered the last day that you produce fertile quality cervical fluid or have a wet vaginal sensation for any given cycle. It is called the "Peak Day," because it denotes your peak day of fertility.

Where does the show take place?

Hey Arnold! - Frequently (and otherwise) Asked Questions
It's not meant to take place anywhere specific, but in "a big city, just like the one you live in (or near)". However, some episodes have "clues in the background" that might give Arnold's city and state a name. First, the city: in "April Fool's Day", there's a window that says "Hillwood City Hats", so I assume the city's name is "Hillwood City".

What are the Tests for ovulation?

Frequently Asked Questions with Dr. Charles MPL on IVF
Ovulation status is assessed by noting menstrual cycle length and regularity. If you have a cycle length shorter than twenty six days, it is useful to do a basal Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) test on the second day of your menstrual cycle to see your egg reserve. If you have intervals between menses of longer than 34 days, poly cystic ovarian disease (PCOD) is suspected. This is confirmed be finding a ring of small follicles in your ovaries on ultrasound scanning.

Can you "feel" ovulation happen?

TCOYF Fertility FAQs
The most obvious outward sign of impending ovulation is increasing wet and slippery cervical fluid. In fact, it can be so abundant that women notice a string of cervical fluid literally hang down when they are using the toilet (Bon appetite, by the way). If a woman notices this, she should assume that ovulation is about to happen within a day or two. This is what is referred to as a primary fertility sign.
Related Questions

Do women feel more sexual around ovulation?

TCOYF Fertility FAQs
Many women do. Because estrogen peaks around ovulation, women typically experience a wet, slippery sensation due to the fertile cervical fluid they produce. This cervical fluid feels similar to sexual lubrication, and can therefore be experienced as a sexual feeling. A woman who practices FAM needn't worry about confusing the two, because cervical fluid is checked periodically throughout the day, and not when she is sexually aroused.

What is an ovulation predictor kit?

Ovulation Kits - WikiFAQ - Answers to Frequently Asked Quest...
Ovulation kits are tools for predicting ovulation, a woman's most fertile time during her menstrual cycle. Unlike body temperature charting (see FAQ on Fertility Awareness Method), ovulation tests anticipate ovulation before it takes place.
Related Questions

How do ovulation predictor kits work?

Ovulation Kits - WikiFAQ - Answers to Frequently Asked Quest...
Just preceding ovulation, women experience a surge in Luteinizing Hormone (LH). LH is the hormone that facilitates ovulation by causing the egg to separate from the ovarian surface. Ovulation tests work by detecting LH, allowing a woman to accurately predict when they will ovulate. A positive result on an ovulation test means that the woman will most likely become fertile over the next three days, with peak fertility at 36 hours following the onset of the LH surge.

Related Questions

How do ovulation tests (or Ovulation Predictor Kits, OPK) work?

Early Pregnancy Tests and Ovulation Predictor Kits: FAQ
The ovulation predictor kit is designed to detect luteinizing hormone, or LH. In elevated quantities, LH causes ovulation. During the menstrual cycle only a small amount of LH is made, but in the middle of the cycle LH briefly and dramatically increases. This increase is called the "LH surge" and precedes ovulation. Conception is most likely to occur within thirty-six hours following the LH surge.

Q32. What constitutes early or late ovulation? Does late ovulation decrease fertility?

There is not complete agreement on this. You might consider "too early" to be cycle day 10 and "too late" to be day 20. There are two problems with late ovulation. The first point is that you obviously you have fewer chances over a given time period. Second is the fact that late ovulation you may be releasing eggs that have not been matured properly. It is also possible that the other parts of the reproductive system are not in sync with the egg.
