Ovulation & Fertility 101 | How to Track Your Cycle to Get Pregnant

Hello there.

Are you too wondering what’s the secret to getting pregnant? Let me give you hint, it starts with an O.

Yes, it’s all about understanding ovulation. The menstrual cycle is your body's monthly preparation for possible pregnancy, lasting around 28-30 days.

There are four phases to it - The Menstrual phase, the Follicular phase, then comes the Ovulation phase and finally, the Luteal phase.

Now, timing ovulation is crucial; in a 28-day cycle, it happens about 14 days before the next period

So don’t forget to track your ovulation religiously to maximise your chances of pregnancy.

Ovulation tests can help too. Start testing a few days before expected ovulation. A positive test means ovulation is likely within 24-36 hours.

Remember, ovulation lasts just 12-24 hours. Recognising symptoms like breast tenderness, bloating, or slight cramping can help pinpoint your most fertile days.

While you have your fingers crossed, keep an eye on your cycle to give it your best shot.

Always be informed to be sure.

Happy baby-making!
