Ovulation Predictor Kits Can Help You Identify When You’re Ovulating
There is a brief increase in luteinizing hormone (LH) 36–40 hours (on average) prior to ovulation. About 12 to 24 hours prior to ovulation, ovulation predictor kits, also known as OPKs, detect the presence and concentration of luteinizing hormone (LH) in your urine. For women who are trying to get pregnant and want to increase their chances of success, ovulation predictor kits may be especially beneficial.
When used correctly, ovulation predictor kits are approximately 80% accurate in detecting ovulation with 5 days of testing and 95% accurate with 10 days of testing Normally, testing should start at least two days before the anticipated ovulation day and continue through day 20 or until the LH surge.
Getting Pregnant During Your Period Is Highly Unlikely
During the (roughly) 5-7 days leading up to their period, women frequently experience abdominal cramps, constipation, and bloating, which are brought on by the shedding of the uterine lining (a). k. a. the endometrium).
It is possible to become pregnant during your period if you engage in unprotected sex, so the answer is yes. However, compared to other menstrual cycle phases, the likelihood is small. Additionally, many women “are not in the mood” for having sex at this time, which is understandable.
As long as the egg from the previous menstrual cycle hasn’t been fertilized, your period will occur. So getting your period is another fairly accurate indication that you are not pregnant. Your uterine lining and an unfertilized, deteriorating egg are released through your vagina during the first roughly five to seven days of your period.
