There are many women facing serious issues related to ovulation. The article is about the process of ovulation and its ayurvedic treatment.

What Do You Mean By Ovulation? Why It Is Important?

The release of egg/ovum by the ovarian follicles during menstruation is called ovulation. The ovum travels through the fallopian tube where it meets the sperms and is fertilized. Any sort of disorder that affects your ovulation leads to infertility or difficulty in conceiving.

Time Of Ovulation

In a menstrual cycle of 28 days, ovulation happens around 14th day. The exact time of ovulation may be different in every woman depending upon the days of each menstrual cycle. Ovulation begins with the release of follicle stimulating hormones, usually between 6 and 14 day of your menstrual cycle.

 

When the eggs are matured the body releases luteinizing hormone, which triggers the release of egg. Ovulation happens 28 to 36 hours after the body releases leutinizing hormone.

Common Signs And Symptoms Of Ovulation

 

Ovulation symptoms may vary from woman to woman. Some of them do not experience any symptoms at all. Three main signs of ovulation are-

2)        Change in cervical fluid- there is a discharge of fluid, like egg white that shows you will ovulate soon. The fluid may not be same in all women.

 

3)        Firmness in cervix- there are many changes in the cervix when a woman ovulates. The cervix becomes soft, open and wet during ovulation. It takes time to notice these changes.
