Question

What are some indicators used to predict the fertility period?

Answer 1

Fertility period:

1. Conception is only possible from roughly five days before ovulation to the day of ovulation.
2. The "fertile window" in a woman's cycle lasts six days and corresponds to the lifespan of sperm (five days) and the egg (six days) (24 hours).
3. The following markers can aid in the prediction of fertile periods:
   1. The cervix widens and softens as ovulation approaches.
   2. Cervical secretions grow and become elastic and clear as ovulation approaches.
   3. Estimates for the calendar can be based on the length of a woman's menstrual cycle.
   4. Once ovulation occurs, the BBT (Basal Body Temperature) rises due to progesterone's impact.
