• 8 Ways your body tells you that you’re super fertile!

If we monitor it closely, we can even determine our fertility without undergoing any tests. Here are some ways your body is telling you that you are super fertile.

First, what is ovulation?

Ovulation is a process by which your mature egg is released from your ovaries. Your egg will be fertilized within 12 to 24 hours after it was been released to your ovaries.

That’s why it’s very important to know what day you are ovulating to determine when will you be fertile, especially if you and your partner or husband are planning to have a baby.

Please take note that after having sex and trying to get pregnant, the sperm cells can live in the reproductive organ of a woman for five days after having intercourse.

Keeping this in mind might give you and your partner a high chance of a positive pregnancy test result. But of course, knowing this knowledge might also help you if you and your partner don’t want to have another baby yet.

With this, you will know the days when will be the least chance of getting pregnant.

When are the chances that you will likely conceive

The answer is when you try to get pregnant when you are in your fertile window,  it is the days in a woman’s menstrual cycle when being pregnant is possible. A fertile window depends on the length of the menstrual cycle of a woman, which is very different for every woman.

Remember, the fertile window is the day when an egg was released from the ovary and five days beforehand. Trying to get pregnant this time will give a high chance of pregnancy.

Why you should have an ovulation calculator?

Does knowing your ovulation will help you to get pregnant? Or might help you to avoid pregnancy? The answer to that is YES! It will help you.

Ovulation calendar or calculator might help you to know what is the best day to have intercourse if you want to have a baby, and of course to avoid pregnancy.

It will estimate the fertile window and the days when getting pregnant is high or low. There are many ovulation calendars or calculator applications that you can download thru your smartphone.

Chances?

What are the chances that you will be pregnant if you are super fertile? Of course, having sex or intercourse at this time will give you a high chance of getting pregnant.

But keep in mind that if you will have sex 6 or more days before ovulating might have a zero chance of getting pregnant. While having sex or intercourse 5 days before ovulating the percentage of getting pregnant is 10%.

Take note that the results might be different for every woman.

8 Ways your body tells you that you’re super fertile!

1. Your periods and PMS are like clockwork

If you’re super fertile, your period is super predictable. Your cycle consistently occurs anywhere from 25 to 35 days, assuming you are not on any form of birth control.

What’s more, a longer period cycle can also mean you have a “strong ovarian reserve” or loads of eggs stored up. PMS can be terrible, but it can also be a good thing, as symptoms like breast tenderness and light cramping can mean you are one fertile mom-to-be.

2. Lots and lots of clear discharge

Halfway through your cycle, you may notice copious amounts of clear, odorless discharge; this is when you’re most fertile. It’s also indicative of cervical gland condition and healthy estrogen production.

3. You don’t have a heavy flow

While every woman’s period is different, both in amount and duration, and many experience heavy flow for a few days regularly, others periods occur for nearly a week and comes in light droplets.

In order for you to get pregnant, your uterine lining must be thick and lush enough. If you experience clotting or heavy bleeding, it depletes your body–your uterus, specifically–and inhibits your uterus from being in a healthy, fresh state, ready for implantation. Super fertile women often have a regular blood flow.

4. You have power over other women’s cycles

Super fertile women have this magical way of syncing up with other women’s cycles. Otherwise known as menstrual synchrony, this is due to strong pheromones which affect women they often spend time with. Giving off super strong pheromones is another sure sign of super fertility.

5. You have well-formed breasts

Breast size and shape can be greatly influenced by the state of your hormones. So having well-developed breasts means you’re hormones are working well, meaning you are truly fertile. It’s important to note, however, that just because your breasts are on the small side you can’t get pregnant.

6. Severe pelvic pain? Nope.

Though some cramping and PMS is a good sign of fertility, experiencing the severe kind of pain in your pelvic area could mean you are not as fertile as you’d like to be. What’s more, prolonged pelvic pain could also be indicating underlying problems such as ovarian cysts or endometriosis.

7. You’ve gotten pregnant without even trying

Getting pregnant even while you’re on birth control, like an IUD or taking pills, can mean your body is just super fertile. For instance, oral contraceptives are typically 91% effective, meaning there have been instances when women got pregnant while on the pill.

8. Your health history is squeaky clean

If you have managed to treat UTIs–or even STDs–in the past, then you have a greater shot at being super fertile. If you’ve been faithful in visiting your gynecologist since you first became sexually active, then your cervix and fallopian tubes, which are essential to conception, are most likely in tiptop shape.

You should also take stock of your current lifestyle, such as your diet and work schedule, because they could also greatly affect your journey to super fertility.

Other tips to get pregnant fast

• Be healthy!

Being healthy is a must to get pregnant easily, not only the wife but also the husband. Dr. Gergen Marie Lazaro-Dizon or Dr. Gergen, an OB-gynecologist at Infertility Specialist from Makati Medical Center, said that if you want to get pregnant easily you should be in a proper shape.

Both partners should be eating healthy food and having a healthy lifestyle. If they are underweight they should gain weight. Take note of a normal BMI.

“Kung medyo on the heavy side, you have to lose 15% of your present weight. May malaking pagbabago ‘yun sa PCOS mo at makakatulong sa pagbubuntis.” (If you’re more on the heavy side, you should lose 15% of your present weight. There is a high chance to get pregnant if you have a PCOS)

Drinking plenty of water will help both the husband and wife to have a baby.

• If you are using birth control, stop it!

If you want to get pregnant and planning to get pregnant, prepare your body. If you are using birth control of any kind, please stop taking or using it.

Dr. Gergen, recommends that you should not stop taking birth control in the middle of your cycle. Why? Because it might disturb your regular schedule and will affect your ovulation.

 “Of course when you stop the pill in the middle of the cycle, kunyare hindi mo tinapos naisipan mo ayaw mo na siya, magugulo yung cycle mo. Kaya advisable talaga tapusin mo muna yung isang pack kung talagang intensyon mo mag-stop.” (Of course when you stop the pill in the middle of the cycle, let’s say you didn’t finish taking your pill, your cycle might be disturbed. That’s why it is advisable that you should first finish taking the pack if you really want to stop using a birth control pills).

“Alisin ang mga stress factor. If they can spend more quality time together ng walang stress, isang factor yun.” (Remove the stress factor. If they can spend more quality time together without stress, its a factor.)
