Interesting Facts About Menstrual Cycles And Conception

Menstrual cycles and conception are directly related. To get an insight into a woman’s fertility, you need to know how her menstrual cycle works. All internal and external changes that occur during each menstrual period are determined at conception.

Therefore, it is important to know how ovulation works in a woman’s body. Remember that ovulation is the process by which the female body releases an egg.

Reproduction occurs when a sperm fertilizes the egg. In this article, we cover some interesting facts that you may not have known about ovulation, menstrual cycles and fertility.

Why is there a relationship between menstrual cycles and conception?

• In addition to the day when ovulation occurs, fertility also increases during the 2 or 3 days leading up to it. Pay attention to these dates if you want to get pregnant.
• Remember that sperm can survive in a woman’s body for 5 days.
• During ovulation, the woman’s lips look more attractive, her skin becomes softer, her voice becomes softer and her pupils dilate.
  
  
• The lifespan of the egg is very short. When it leaves the ovary and migrates into the woman’s body, it survives for only 24 hours (the day of ovulation). If you want to get pregnant, you must use this time. This makes it easier for the sperm and egg to meet.

• You can find out if you are ovulating through changes in your behavior. During the days before ovulation, the woman’s body prepares to reproduce. You can then seem “extra feminine”.
• Ovulation triggers a woman’s sense of smell. During the menstrual cycle, there are days when the woman’s sense of smell is sharpened. It then becomes easier to detect male hormones. In addition, a man’s special smell can also be very attractive.

• Every woman is born with thousands of immature eggs in her ovaries, an average of 400,000, and these female gametes are called oocytes. During adolescence, many of these oocytes are absorbed by the ovaries, leaving the number you have at your disposal that will be released during your reproductive life (about 400-500).
• Untreated venereal diseases can cause infertility. This can affect both men and women.

• Menstrual cramps and other symptoms are stronger in winter. Blood flow, pain intensity and duration of bleeding all tend to be more intense when it is cold.
