Ovulation Cycle Tracking
Ovulation cycle tracking is a simple process that can help you identify which days you are most fertile. This will help you plan when to have sex to give you the best chance of conception. For one in six couples, getting pregnant can take longer than expected. If you are looking for help to conceive naturally, a good first step is ovulation cycle tracking. It does not require any invasive fertility treatments or medicines and is more accurate than home ovulation predication kits.
This procedure can be performed during a natural cycle or with additional hormonal stimulation. Your fertility specialist will discuss the decision for the best technique with you and your partner. The woman’s cycle is monitored to determine the day of ovulation – this is often referred to as ‘cycle tracking’. Once the follicle is mature, ovulation is triggered by an injection of synthetic human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). The prepared sperm is inserted directly into the uterine cavity using a very thin catheter. This process is similar to a pap smear with regard to discomfort.
