How do you know if you ovulated?

Normal women will release an egg every month, which can help women get pregnant. It is very important for women, but most women do not know whether they are ovulating, because they do not feel ovulation. Therefore, most people will go to the hospital for examination when they are preparing for pregnancy and have not gotten pregnant for a long time. So how can we know whether we are ovulating or not?

Normally, women release an egg every month. If the sperm enters the fallopian tube at this time, it will combine with the egg to form a fertilized egg, and the woman will become pregnant. Many women think that they cannot see or feel the egg being released, so how can they determine whether ovulation has occurred? In fact, there are many ways to know whether a woman has released an egg.

1. How do you know if you have ovulated?

1. Ovulation symptoms: Ovulation symptoms often include decreased appetite, increased energy, increased libido, increased vaginal discharge, increased body temperature, and ovulation pain. If there is no ovulation, the above symptoms will not occur.

2. Ovulation test strips: Ovulation test strips predict ovulation by detecting the peak level of luteinizing hormone (LH). Ovulation occurs when the strong positive turns weak. If you find that the ovulation test paper turns from strong positive to weak, it means that ovulation will occur within 24 hours.

3. B-ultrasound follicle monitoring: B-ultrasound can not only detect whether there are dominant follicles in both ovaries, but also measure the size of the dominant follicles, the thickness of the endometrium, etc. This method helps predict ovulation and guide conception-promoting sexual intercourse to a certain extent.

4. Measurement of basal body temperature: During ovulation, the follicle ruptures and the estrogen level in the body drops sharply, causing the body temperature to drop. If the basal body temperature shows a biphasic change, that is, a high temperature period appears after a low temperature period and lasts for about 13-14 days, this indicates ovulation. On the contrary, if the low temperature persists, it is likely that ovulation is caused by insufficient luteal function.

5. Endocrine examination: The estrogen peak before ovulation promotes positive feedback and the luteinizing hormone reaches a peak value. Ovulation occurs about 36 hours after the peak, and luteinizing hormone drops sharply at ovulation. After ovulation, blood is drawn about a week before menstruation to check hormone levels.

6. Endometrial biopsy: Scrape the endometrium 2-3 days before menstruation to understand the functional status of the endometrium through biopsy. If there are secretory changes in the endometrium, it means ovulation has occurred. If there are proliferative changes, it means no ovulation has occurred. In addition, other lesions such as endometrial tuberculosis and endometrial cancer can also be checked.
