Ovulation after childbirth?
959455
you can some times ovulate before you get your first period, this is more common with those who breast feed (which is best for babies and moms).  some women who breast feed do not get a period for a year or two but will ovulate before getting it back and end up preganant again and not sure when they concieved since they had no period.  this could happen to a non breast feeding woman as well.

If you're talking about trying to conceive, it's not about when in the month you can have one, it's about your monthy cycle.  It's best to start trying 2 weeks after the first day of your cycle.  That puts you right in the middle of the "off season".  If this doesn't work, try purchasing a fertility monitor at your local drugstore in the woman's care isle.  See your doctor for more details.

Most people usually are pregnant within six months, a good portion more by the end of the first year.  No need to worry yet.  It may be more difficult to get pregnant because your periods are irregular, so predicting ovaulation can be hard. There are ways you can detect it, though.  You can start by taking your temp every morning when you first get up.  About 10 days after your last period started, you should begin to ovulate.  When this happens your basal temp will be slightly elevated.\nThere are dietary changes you can make as well to increase your chances of becoming pregnant.  FIrst and foremost, make sure you are taking a prenatal vitmain if you aren't already.  Decrease your sugar intake.  Excess sugar has been linked to fertility difficulties.  Eating foods high in zinc have been linked to reproductive health as well.\nI wish you lots of luck and hope there is a baby in your near future!!

Both of you need to get more exercise, watch those foods that tend to slow you down: caffeine, sugar, alcohol. Look through magazines and cut out pictures of babies: bouncy, happy babies. Tape them on your bathroom mirror, and refrigerator. Pick out names you'd like for your children, both girl and boy.\n\nOh yes, go to the drugstore and ask pharmacist for a pre-ovulation test. This measures your luteinizing hormone level. The LH surges 24-48 hrs before you're about to ovulate. That's your monthly window of opportunity. Once it opens, just have fun.\n\nGood luck. if in 6 months still no result, please contact a fertility specialist

hormone fluctuations...  plus they don't have to worry about getting pregnant since ovulation  happens  after the period, and you have to be ovulating to get pregnant.

There are a few things you can do to track your ovulation.  There are a lot of webpages out there that have an ovulation calculator, in which if you know when the first day of your period is, you can plug it in and it will tell you approximately when you ovulate.  Here's a good one here  http://www.ovulation-calculator.com/\nAnother thing you can do is purchase a basal thermometer and when you see your temp increase, it means you are ovulating.  Another way is to keep an eye on your cervical mucus, which will get stringy and clear when you are ovulating.  Some people also use an ovulation microscope, which will show ferning when you are ovulating.  The link above, right above where you plug in the dates there is a little info about this.  And still others use a combination of mucus and temp, along with software that you can use to track your cycles, and it will also tell you when the best time to conceive.  The two programs I recommend is femta www.femta.com and ovusoft and ovusoft.com

go to http://www.mymonthlycycles.com and put in your period info and it will calculate when you will ovulate and be fertile.\n\n\nOne of the hallmarks of the current generation is that women are choosing to have children later in life and it is likely that this trend will continue. On average, women today are having two children with approximately four years time between the first and second births. Between 1985 and 1994 the proportion of births to women in their 20s decreased from 62 percent to 53 percent, while the proportion of births to women 30 - 44 years of age increased from 25 percent to 34 percent. Since the mid 1970s there has been a four-fold increase in the percent of first births to women 30 years and older. \n\nOvulation is the term used to define the release of an egg (usually one, though sometimes more) from a woman’s ovary. Conception occurs when a sperm fertilizes the egg. While sperm can survive for several days inside a woman’s reproductive tract, an egg can only survive for up to 24 hours after ovulation. This puts a limitation on the time when conception is most likely to occur. According to a recent survey conducted at the World Congress on Fertility and Sterility, 20 percent of the problems in conceiving are due to a couple’s failure to time intercourse correctly during the woman’s fertile time period.\n\nThe Opinion Research Corporation International (ORC) found that most women don’t know when they can become pregnant. Nearly all women (98 percent) of reproductive age are unclear about how many days each month it is possible to get pregnant, and more than half (52 percent) of women aren’t sure when those fertile days occur during their cycle. Most parents do not know the day(s) on which their children were conceived.\n\nTo increase chances of becoming pregnant, women should monitor their body’s fertile time period - the time that sperm can survive within a woman’s reproductive tract until ovulation and fertilization can occur. A woman’s most fertile period is typically several days (usually no more than 5-6) ending on the day after ovulation. Because menstrual cycles vary from one woman to another and even from one cycle to the next in the same woman, identifying a woman’s fertile time period can be challenging. However there are several methods a woman can use to determine when she is most likely to conceive: \n\nCalendar - A woman can chart her menstrual cycle on a calendar to determine the days she is most likely to ovulate. \nBasal Body Temperature (BBT) - The BBT is a woman’s temperature first thing in the morning, before getting up or doing any activity. In a normal menstrual cycle, a woman’s BBT rises almost one degree from just after ovulation through the beginning of her next cycle. \nCervical Mucus - Most of the time the cervix produces a mucus that protects the body from sperm, bacteria and other organisms. For several days each month, the consistency of the mucus changes to allow sperm to enter the fallopian tubes. By monitoring these changes, a woman can determine her fertile time period. \nSymptothermal - Charting a combination of fertility indicators like cervical secretions and BBT can often help to indicate a woman’s fertile time period. \nThe above charting methods require women to record the secondary signs of fertility caused by changes in hormones. Because these conditions can be affected by factors such as infections or medications, they require careful monitoring and analysis, and they are never 100% reliable. An alternative to these methods is measuring changes in hormone levels. An increase in the level of estrogen marks the beginning of most women’s fertile phase, while an increase in the luteinizing hormone (LH) level signals that ovulation will occur soon - usually within approximately 24 to 36 hours.\n\nThe fertility monitor is a relatively new approach designed to provide daily information about a woman’s fertile time period.

maybe ask your doctor, but it happens because during and after pregnancy your hormones are all out of whack and trying to get back to normal..

You can always go to a doctor to get tested, but when it first comes back is all up to your body.  Some women don't get their cycle for a year after they have a baby, even if they aren't breast feeding.  If there is a risk though of pregnancy, talk to your doctor.  My friend was 9 months before getting her cycle, and she was way past breast feeding.  Good luck! :)

How do you know for sure that you didn't ovulate? Did you take a series of home ovulation prediction tests, were you monitored by means of hormone-level blood tests, or by sonogram? I'd need more info about these details in order to be able to answer your question correctly. Please post additional details, or contact me directly using the link provided in my profile. Hope to hear from you soon.

I think that if a woman stops ovulating there would be no more menstruation, and estrogen levels change, to me this is part of a biological clock in women which indicates the conceiving period is over and pregnancy at a late age is risky.\nFortunately there are supplements that can be taken for the secondary effects such as hot flashes like black cohosh and flax hull lignans. Lignans are a type of plant chemical that can simulate and help balance human hormones such estrogen.

Sometimes you ovulate twice in a cycle. It's not a regular thing, but it does happen. As most women ovulate 14-21 days into their cycle, you shouldn't be getting pregnant. Still, go ahead and buy a pregnancy test kit. They are pretty accurate. Most likely you aren't pregnant though. The double ovulation thing isn't the norm, but it does happen. I guess I keep saying the same thing. Sorry. It can't hurt to check. It's not that expensive.

No it is very normal.  Don't worry about it.  You might want to wear a panty liner to help with the moisture.\n\nIt probably increases about a week after your period.  This is the most fertile time.  Also if you get excited.

I'm guessing that you mean after delivery of your baby???\n\nThis is normal to not have your period for six to eight weeks after having a baby. After initially ahving a baby you do have some blood loss in the first few weeks. \nIf you are breastfeeding then it is normal to not have your period back until after you finish breastfeeding.
