How Long Should I Chart Before Seeing A Doctor If I Suspect Infertility?

Temperature fluctuates while moving around, for this reason, the best time to take your temperature is in the morning immediately you wake up. Body temperature can be taking digitally or traditionally, anyhow you want it but make sure that the same thermometer is used throughout your cycle.

Infertility can be defined as not being able to get pregnant after having unprotected sexual intercourse for a period of one year. In other-words, infertility means not being able to carry a pregnancy at all or to its due time.

Some women have not tasted the joy of being pregnant due to some irregularities in their cycle while some have passed through series of miscarriages due to infections, fibroids or other problems they cannot explain, which leads to infertility.

In this case, if your cycles are irregular, you shouldn’t waste time on body base temperature alone, kindly see a doctor and find out what may be causing the irregularity, for infertility may not be the case of your problem but other things you may not take seriously.

In other hand, you do have normal-length cycles and decide to start charting your body temperature; you only need to wait about three (3) months to establish a problem before seeking for help. For instant, if you have 28 days cycle, but ovulate on day 18, and that happens two to three (2-3) months in a row, you should see your doctor. If otherwise your case of infertility may depend on your age and urgency.

Mind you, seeking a physician’s advice is not a bad idea for everyone seeking for preconception advice, do not rely only on body temperature, if it needs to undergo series of tests; it is for your benefit so as to be sure from where the case of infertility is coming from.

One in every six couples faces the problem and difficulties in conception. Infertility is a couple's problem, and is commonly due to some contribution from both the male and female partners. Most atimes, the male contributes a significant part of the fertility problem though women being at the receiving side take all the blame. In starting the process of trying to conceive, the most important thing to do is to study and know your own body, of which your doctor will be a helping hand.

Seeking the idea of a fertility specialist when you have troubles conceiving or problem of infertility is a good and important idea. It is easier for women under 30 to conceive but if you are under 35 and have been having regular and unprotected sex for a year but have not been able to conceive, make an appointment with your doctor or a fertility specialist.

If otherwise, that is, you are over 35, and then start investigating the issue of infertility after six months of regular and unprotected sex. However, there are times when you should make appointment with the fertility specialist sooner and earlier.

In other-words, if you have experienced two or more miscarriages, have especially painful periods or have irregular periods, experienced an unusual increase or a burning vaginal discharge, or if your partner is experiencing a decrease in his sex drive, impotence or painful ejaculations, then make an appointment with fertility specialist or gynecologist sooner. These indications that causes infertility or delay in conception needs medical attention before a successful conception can occur.

What Will You Benefit In Charting Your Temperature Towards Fertility?

Fertility as already defined is the ability to produce healthy offspring in abundance. In a woman’s fertility years, she will like to produce as much as she can before menopause catches up with her.

Taking your waking body temperature can give you information that is very helpful if you are trying to conceive. If you are not pregnant your temperature will reflect two phases during a cycle, three phases if conception has occurred. Your temperatures will vary (rise and fall) during your monthly cycle but increases during your fertility periods.

Temperature can be lower in the first phase, higher in the second phase and higher still in the third phase once implantation takes place. The rise in temperature from the first phase to the second phase is caused from ovulation that is most fertile time. Your temperature rises only AFTER ovulation has taken place.

Charting temperatures alone without using cervical fluid and position DOES NOT indicate when your fertility time is (before ovulation) until after ovulation has occurred, which is too late. Therefore we recommend that all indicators are charted to give a more efficient reading of fertility.

The tendency of a woman to have higher temperatures before ovulation or lower temperatures is called biphasic .Charting of the body temperature therefore creates awareness towards fertility. The rise in temperatures can most commonly be seen the day after ovulation, but this varies and body temperature can only be used to estimate ovulation (most fertile day) within a three day range.

Note that each temperature that is not taken at the normal or usual time (fertility periods) has to be adjusted so as to get you close to what your temperature would have been.

In taking your temperature, make sure you use same thermometer throughout the cycle whether digital thermometer or traditional glass as the case maybe. It can also be taken vaginally or orally but make sure you adhere to it throughout the cycle.

Where Do I Belong; Secondary or Primary Infertility

The word Infertility means the inability of a man or woman to contribute to conception. It may also be referred to as the state of a woman who is unable to carry a pregnancy to full term (9-10months). There are many causes of this fame called infertility, some which may be bypassed with medical intervention and some which are for life.

Most women who are fertile experience natural period of fertility before and during ovulation , and they are naturally infertile during the rest of the menstrual cycle. This fertility awareness method is been used to know or discern when lots of changes occur; by checking and observing changes in cervical mucus or body temprature.

There are two types of infertility; Primary Infertility and Secondary Infertility.

Primary infertility can be defined as inability to get pregnant with your first baby through natural or artificial means.

Secondary infertility is referred to as difficulty conceiving after successfully completing a first pregnancy. This type of infertility is often a surprise to women since they have previously had a child without difficulty.
Most people believe that once you had one child, you have proved yourself to be fertile and will therefore have no problem conceiving the second time or in the future. Secondary infertility is so common that there is up to 50% cases of it, yet, many fail to see this type of infertility as a problem that needs urgent and proper solution.

Just like those experiencing primary infertility (that is when a couple is unable to conceive for the first time), couples that are affected by secondary infertility are much likely to get infertility treatment. This is because of the misconception that once you’re fertile, you’ll always be or remain fertile.

Now that you have known your stand and the group you fall into, do not wait for fertility to happen naturally, seek medical advice in both ways, then wait, for it will one day happen.

How Do I Know My Most Fertile Days

Fertile days within monthly cycle are few days before ovulation occurs. What make those days fertile is the type of cervical fluid that is been produced by the hormone estrogen. When the fluid is fertile, it will be able to keep sperm alive until the egg is released or dropped for fertilization to take place.

Within the six fertile days of each cycle, the probability of conception is lowest on the first day and high in the rest of the days. This is most relevant for the earliest days in the menstrual cycle, which is the most likely to be the earliest and least fertile day of the cycle.

Fertile days are days that there is possibility for conception. Within the fertile days there is a peak day which is the most fertile day of all. If you should have sex during your fertile time or day and insured that you hit the peak day, you will greatly enhance your ability to conceive.

To identify your fertile days or times during a monthly cycle can be done by thorough checking and observing changes from your body like seeing milky, creamy or lotion like cervical fluid, which is accompanied by wet vaginal awareness. The last day of milky, creamy or lotion like fluid can be considered your peak day If you do not produce egg white cervical fluid. When using the waking body temperatures or cervical position, it is easier to know when your fluid is becoming more fertile. Temperatures may start to fall, your cervix will start to rise and become soft and open.

Be warned that having sex during the fertile days is not sufficient to produce pregnancy. Here, pregnancy depends on the viability of the sperm and egg, the receptivity and good condition of the uterus, and other factors which varies among couples.

How You Can Take Charge Of Your Fertility

Taking charge of your fertility is a guide that explains the relationship between your cycle, which includes menstruation, fertility, conception, and birth control. Most couples have successfully conceived and some have avoided conception by going through one method or the other. A method that works for a couple may or may not work for another due to body differences.

Many women are most fertile during ovulation, which occurs between the 14th and 16th day of any, menstrual cycle though the exact time of fertility or ovulation varies among women due to differences in the length of menstrual cycle. Women are fertile seven days in each menstrual cycle, which means that ovulation occurs in the fourteenth day of every cycle, which is obviously the most fertile time for any female.

Both men and women have hormonal cycles which determine fertility days and time. Women cycle is between twenty four and twenty-eight days long, but the men cycle varies. Men can ejaculate and produce sperm at any time of the month, but their sperm quality drops occasionally due to stress, lack of good food, infection etc.

For fertilization to take place, the sperm and egg of a woman must unite in the fallopian tube where the egg is captured during ovulation. The greatest time of this action occurs in the first 12 hours but your egg of a woman can be fertilized by sperm for up to 72 hours (3 days) after ejaculation. The egg moves and implants into the uterus two to four days after it is been fertilized by sperm.

To take charge of your fertility, you have to observe your fertile days by learning how to interpret your body signals. You apply charting method instead of guessing method. For a man, quality sperms should be produced, to accomplish this, in-take of good food and lots of rest should be taken into consideration.
