Currently, many couples who are expecting a baby often choose to watch the day of ovulation to conceive. However, if you do not correctly calculate the date of ovulation to get pregnant, it is not only ineffective but also makes the couple's psychology more stressful.

In fact, many couples do not understand correctly or lack information about the time of ovulation or how to calculate the day of ovulation to get pregnant, which leads to inappropriate implementation and reduced effectiveness of the method.
In women, when ovulation is near, the whole body will change, some people will find their skin becomes more rosy, others feel tight breasts, pain in the abdomen. Below, the vagina is wetter... You can base on the signs of this ovulation time to know when you ovulate and have a plan to watch your ovulation effectively.
A more difficult method of tracking ovulation that can be applied is to check the vaginal mucus, by washing your hands and then taking the vaginal mucus, usually at the time of ovulation. Vaginal mucus will be tougher and stickier. However, not everyone can calculate ovulation to get pregnant using this method.
Another way to know when you are ovulating is to use ovulation stick, you can buy ovulation stick at pharmacies to monitor yourself. In principle, ovulation timers should detect the presence of luteinizing hormone in the urine. Ovulation may occur within a few days since the result line is darker or darker than the control line. In case the menstrual cycle is shorter than 21 days or longer than 35 days, using ovulation timers will not give accurate results.
Ovulation process and time of ovulation can be confirmed accurately by ultrasound or hormone blood tests, but these methods of tracking ovulation need to be done at a medical facility.
