The menstrual cycle provides us with one of the keys as to predicting a woman's fertile times, the menstrual cycle
can be divided into three key phases.
Phase One
|
From Menstrual to Ovulation
|
|
|
This phase begins after your period. During this phase the lining of the uterus is prepared and the egg becomes
ready. The length of this phase varies between women. In some women this phase may last 18 or more days, while for
others it is only 12 or even less. Some women also find that one month they can have quite a long phase and then
another time have a much shorter phase. It is important to find out the length of your own phase Learn about your cycle
and to see if there is a pattern to it. Making love in the last part of this phase means that sperm will be available
to fertilise the egg. This means that you can increase your chances of conceiving if you have sex in the five days
leading up to ovulation.
|
Phase Two
|
Ovulation
|
|
|
The egg is released from one of the ovaries. Women are fertile in this phase, although it is fairly
short as the egg needs to be fertilised within two or three days.
|
Phase three
|
Menstruation (having a period)
|
|
|
In this phase, the lining of the womb becomes thick enough to receive a fertilised egg. If the egg has not
been fertilised, the lining is shed and preparation begins again ready for the next cycle. The unused lining
disintegrates and passes down through the neck of the womb and out through the vagina. This is a woman's
monthly bleed or period.
