Let&#8217;s take a look at the basics of ovulation and FAQs about family planning.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ovulation cycle: When does ovulation occur?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ovulation occurs once a month for women. Here&#8217;s a timeline of the average menstrual cycle:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Menstruation (days 1-7):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The shedding of uterine lining<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Follicular phase (days 1-14):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Follicles develop into mature eggs<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Ovulation (days 14-15):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A mature egg is released and travels to the uterus to be fertilized<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Luteal phase (days 16-28):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The egg is either fertilized and the body produces progesterone to support an early pregnancy, or the egg isn&#8217;t fertilized and the lining of the uterus breaks down<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Menstruation and follicular phase<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The average menstrual cycle runs on a 28-day cycle, with the first day of a period marking day one, and the first day of the next period marking day 28. The first half of a woman&#8217;s cycle is called the follicular phase. During this phase, estrogen levels rise, and the pituitary gland releases follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), which allows a few follicles to develop into mature eggs. However, only one egg releases during ovulation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Ovulation<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ovulation happens about two weeks after the first day of a menstrual cycle. So if a period marks day one of a menstrual cycle, this means the ovulation date would be around day 14, halfway through the menstrual cycle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During ovulation, an egg travels down a fallopian tube and into the uterus, where it can fertilize. A woman can only ovulate once in a single cycle, but it&#8217;s possible to release one egg from each ovary. If this happens and the woman gets pregnant, they&#8217;ll have non-identical twins. (Identical twins come from one fertilized egg splitting into identical copies of itself.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This ovulatory period is the best time to get pregnant. Even though the time of ovulation is short, lasting about 12 to 24 hours, women can still get pregnant if they have sexual intercourse one to five days before ovulation. Sperm can survive in the female reproductive tract for several days. If she hasn&#8217;t had unprotected sex before ovulation or during it, a woman won&#8217;t be able to get pregnant until the next time she ovulates.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>RELATED: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/romantic-time-erectile-dysfunction-drugs\/\"><b>The most romantic time of the week<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Luteal phase<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The luteal phase follows ovulation, lasts for about 14 days, and ends on the first day of a woman&#8217;s menstrual cycle. If the egg is fertilized, the body will continue to produce progesterone and the lining of the uterus will support early pregnancy. If the egg doesn&#8217;t fertilize, it&#8217;s released from the uterus on day 28 of the menstrual cycle with the start of a menstrual period as the uterine lining sheds. The average woman&#8217;s period lasts three to seven days.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ovulation calculators: How to track ovulation<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recent technology has made tracking ovulation so much easier.

Painful ovulation could be a sign that the body&#8217;s ready to get pregnant. However, having no ovulation pain doesn&#8217;t mean a woman&#8217;s infertile. Many women are asymptomatic when they ovulate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Painful ovulation happens for many women, but experiencing pain doesn&#8217;t mean there&#8217;s anything wrong. Ovulation pain is normal and happens because of how the body functions. Before an egg is released from an ovary, it grows and can cause the ovary to enlarge, which can cause pain on one side of the abdomen. The released egg travels with follicular fluid and a little bit of blood, which can irritate the abdomen and cause pain.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some other symptoms women might have when they&#8217;re ovulating:\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dull or sharp lower-abdominal pain<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Breast tenderness\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spotting<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bloating<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lower back pain<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some remedies to alleviate ovulation pain:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use a heating pad<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take a warm bath<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Try over-the-counter pain medications like ibuprofen<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Abdominal pain, spotting, or other symptoms that don&#8217;t go away after a few days might require some medical attention.
