Getting a positive result on ovulation testing
The best option to know about the fertile time is ovulation predictor kits. Ovulation predictor kits works similar to hoe pregnancy kits. You just need to put urine on the kits by means of cup or you can urinate on them.
Two lines will appear just like those appear on the pregnancy testing kits. In case of positive result the test line color is darker than the control line which indicates that you are likely going o ovulate and this also indicates your time to get pregnant.
Although ovulation test are the best way but they also have some pros and cons such as:
Pros
- They need less working than charting basal body temperature
- Digital ovulation can be very easy to use.
Cons
- Sometimes simple tests can be difficult to interpret the result when it’s difficult to determine that the color of test line is darker than the control line.
- Ovulation testing kits get expensive in case of irregular period or when person trying to conceive for a long time.
- Sometimes you can get a positive sign but in actual you don’t get to ovulate.
- Women who suffers from the polycystic ovarian disorder (PCOS) may get a positive results for multiple time even they are not going to ovulate which makes the tests useless and waste of money.
Increase in basal body temperature
The temperature of resting stage is called as basal body temperature. The standard temperature of the body is 98.6 Fahrenheit known by the whole world but in actual body temperature continues varies slightly throughout the months even the same day.
When you are doing any activity, the temperature rises while in resting stage it gets lower slightly such as eating food, sleeping habits or getting sick. Hence BBT is a good sign of ovulation detection. After ovulation progesterone level increases this causes rise in temperature.
BBT needs some things to track down:
BBT tracking requires daily observation of the temperature in the morning at the same time every day before using the bathroom in the morning so that you can prepare a chart of BBT.
Even though BBT cannot predict the ovulation, it gives you idea about the approximate day of the ovulation.
Regularity is important in case of BBT because irregular schedules make difficulties in the tracking BBT like in case of working in the night shifts or inconsistence patterns of sleep.
Irregular cycles or ovulation problems can be detected by your doctor.
Cervical position change
Another sign of ovulation is the change in cervical position. Throughout the menstrual cycle, cervix shifts positions and changes seem to occur. You can track these changes and determine the ovulation time.
Before the ovulation, cervix shift in a little bit up, slightly open and become softer while in other day it is harder, lower in position and more closed.
Saliva ferning pattern
Another possible sign of ovulation is the ferning pattern of you saliva. This is quite uncommon and unique way for ovulation detection. In this pattern saliva structure looks like the frost on the windowpane.
Some special microscopes are available for detection of the ferning pattern of saliva but you could use any microscope available near you. This is unusual way to detect ovulation so for some women experience difficulty in detecting ferning pattern.
Due to its uniqueness, not enough resources are available to support this method unlike other methods such as cervical mucus and basal body temperature have enough resources to support.
Irregular ovulation can cause pain and many other medical condition, also cause discomfort in your life. As similar as the sign of regular ovulation, sign of irregular ovulation is also a matter of concern so that you can get treatment for that. Here are some signs of irregular ovulation:
Irregular menstrual cycle
If you are unable to predict your period, then you may be suffering from ovulation problem. This problem is normal among the women and its normal if you are periods varies by a few days in months but if they vary in the span of several days then it is not normal.
Long or very short cycles
A cycle of 21 days to 35 days is considered as a normal short and normal long cycle respectively. If your cycle is shorter than 21 and longer than 35 days, then you have to go to see your doctor, because this kind of irregular cycle may have related to the ovulation problems.
Period missing
If you are in childbearing age but not getting your periods regularly and keep missing for the months then it may be related to the ovulation problems. Some of the women missing their period for over a month or longer than that this indicates clear that you have to consider the doctor and get treatment.
Basal body temperature
Basal body temperature helps you to detect your fertile time and regular cycle. BBT also helps you to determine irregular ovulation. It is mentioned above that BBT slightly rises after ovulation so you have been charting your cycle with the help of BBT and you don’t get any rise in BBT then there is a possibility that you are not ovulating.
However there could be a possibility of not rising BBT in some women even after they are ovulating regularly. This could be happens due to irregular sleeping patterns or it could be happens in case of not taking the temperature at same time or after using bathroom.
Inconsistencies in ovulation predicting test
Ovulation test kits are designed to detect the LH hormone when ovulation is going to occur. So if you don’t get a positive result, it means you may not get ovulated.
This is also surprising to know that if you are getting consistently positive results in ovulation test it can also a sign of ovulation problem.
This means your body is trying to trigger the ovulation but continuously getting failed to achieve the result. This situation can be seen in the women with PCOS.
Do not make conceptions in your mind that you can’t get pregnant in case of getting signs of ovulation problems. You can get pregnant even you are getting irregular periods. So talk to your doctor in case of any ovulation problem or irregular cycles.
