How To Track Ovulation And Increase Chances Of Getting Pregnant!

To track ovulation, firstly the cycles or periods have to be regular. Women having regular 28-30 day cycles will be able to track ovulation and try during the fertile period to increase the chance of pregnancy. In women with 28 day cycle, the approximate day of ovulation is day 14 and in women with 30 day cycle it is day 16 of cycle. Since the sperm has a lifetime of up to 5 days and the egg for 24 hours the 5/6 days leading up to ovulation gives the best chance of pregnancy. In fact the maximum chance of pregnancy happens when one tries on the day prior to the ovulation day.

Similarly, in women with shorter cycles such as up to 24 days, the day of ovulation is on day 10 of cycle and in those with longer cycles until 35 days it is on day 21 of cycle. There are other ways also to identify the fertile period such as use of Ovulation kits which detects the presence of hormone surge called LH which precedes ovulation.

The clinical symptoms associated with ovulation are increase in cervical mucus discharge and subtle discomfort/pain in the lower abdomen at the time of ovulation.

However, since the use of kits and tracking of ovulation can become stressful, we usually advise to try regularly to have intercourse at least two/three times a week and this should increase the chances of pregnancy.

Some women have irregular cycles suggestive of ovulation problems and in these women ovulation induction medications are suggested to facilitate egg growth and release and it is monitored with follicular scans. Follicular tracking after taking medications to facilitate egg growth is recommended to monitor the cycle.

One cycle of trying gives a pregnancy chance of around 20%. 85% of couples are successful in achieving a pregnancy within an year and the rest need further medical help in achieving a pregnancy.
