Facts About Ovulation
When I was planning for my first child, I took note of my menstrual cycle well because I wanted to track my ovulation. It took me 2 cycle to conceive my baby and I was so happy about it. I know all the while when I’m ovulating as the discharge is heavier. However, if you are interested to know more about ovulation, check out the facts listed by Yahoo! Health.
The American Pregnancy Association offers the following information about ovulation:
- Once an egg has been released from the ovary, it can live for 12 hours to 24 hours.
- Women are born with millions of immature eggs. Typically, only one egg that has matured is released each month.
- Ovulation can be affected by factors such as stress, anxiety, illness, or an interruption of usual lifestyle and routine.
- Ovulation may cause feelings of aching, tenderness or soreness in and around the ovaries.
- Each egg that is unfertilized is absorbed by the uterine lining.
Funnily, they didn’t list out the difference in discharge. So, do you know that you are ovulating?
