Many women have heard that it takes about 38 days for your body to process the information from your period, and that this is its “window” to ovulate.
Some women claim that they do not have a period when their skin is red and swollen, but a week or so later they do. This happens more than you would think!
If this sounds like a good timing option for you, then you might be thinking of it as if you were pregnant.

Immediately after your period
Your period may be the same day or after your ovulation. During ovulation, the body produces an egg that remains in the uterus for a short period of time.
This egg can re-emerge during this period as an egg could, and possibly if it was fertilized it could start a pregnancy. If this happens, you would experience a long sharpening of yourperiod and a change in discharge. Something else may happen also such as a increase in sex drive or an interest in sex.
If this happens during non-pregnancy times then it will not hurt the baby but if it does harm then you may need emergency surgery to remove it. This is known as an early abortion which is why it is recommended before delivery.
How can I know if I’ve ovulated?
There are a few ways to know if you’re ovulating or not. One way is to use a fertility Know-How-How-to-use-the-Preliminary_Cyclopean_Map_for_Ovulation (www.cyclo.org/ovulation) kit. Another is to use a pelletproofer, which is a special type of condom that contains estrogen to help determine ovulation.
Charting your cycle
As mentioned earlier, your period can be a signal to ovulate. This is not the only time for sex though! As mentioned earlier, as your sex drive waxes and wanes with your cycle, so does the thickness of your discharge.
If you are tracking your period and having sex during this time, you may be experiencing the beginning of ovulation. If you are menstruating during menopause, you may also be experiencing an early drop in estrogen which may cause irregular bleeding or no bleeding at all.
Any of these situations can be addressed by using a monthly period chart to track my cycle. A good period chart should include: Days when I feel my periods changeuate, Days when I am most fertile, Days when I have the least amount of flow and Days when I have my heaviest flow.
Taking your temperature
There’s a reason you take your temperature every week: monthly. Your body temperature is just about always arounddegree Fahrenheit, which is why you wake up feeling hot and heavy with desire.
But during fertile periods, your body also hits on an internal temperature to gauge whether or not it’s in heat. Fertility often happens within a few days of this temperature, so if you haven’t had a period since the heat, it can feel like a wait is safe.
While it’s not possible for your body to accurately gauge if you’re in heat or not, there are ways to know if you do have a period by looking at the temperature.
Tracking your cycle
There are a few things you can do to help yourself and your partner track your cycle. These include using a chart to track your period, taking a fertility test if you’re past menopausal, and tracking your ovulation.
Most reliable fertility tests use salivary testing to determine when an egg is released, the hormone progesterone to maintain stability of the egg and prognosticate when an egg may be available, and then periodic monitoring for results.
Saliva is an excellent testing method as it is almost impossible to mess up. You also need to take a test about two weeks apart for it to work correctly. Using progesterone in an early stage of pregnancy is similar to tracking fertility in menopause, using natural estradiol levels.
This can be done through a basal thermocouple method or with a subjective assessment.
Observe your discharge
When a woman ovulates, her body produces a small amount of the hormone oestrogen. This makes the inside of her uterus, which goes into phase of pregnancy, more receptive to sperm.
Because this occurs during her period, she may observe someigel-like or gel-like formations in her discharge. These are the remnants of an estrogenic response to fertile time in her cycle.
Gel-like structures in the discharge are also a sign that she is growing more pregnant each month. If you can see these, you are paying attention to your body better.
Check your breasts
If you’re concerned about getting a big baby, check your breasts within the past two weeks to see if you’re showing any signs of breasts lacy or engorged.
If you notice any change in size, shape, or texture in your breasts, then you may be ovulating and should look for a breast milk supply. If you are experiencing menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes and dry skin, then another important test is the FSH (follicle-stimulation).
These symptoms usually occur during the menopausal years, so early detection is important. If these factors are present, then you should have a mammogram to see if there is an irregularity or danger area.
Know your partner’s schedule
It can be tricky to know when your partner is ready to have sex, what they like, and what type of sex they want. This is important to know if you want to share sex with them or not.
When it comes to sex, people have different needs and likes. Some people like hard and fast sex, while others like slow and steady. For some people, staying asleep during the day is a requirement for having a good sex life.
Things that someone wants from sex can be things such as: touching, oral, intercourse, lovemaking positions, depth of penetration, and orgasm type. Some people only want one or two of these per week, while others need them all three or four!
To help keep Sex Week up-to-date, try meeting with your partner weekly to discuss their needs and wants. Research new things together to add more fun into your relationship.
