Question well when does the ovulution happen? i know its happens but when what days before or after or what ever explan please.
Answer WEhen you stazt your period, Estrogen (a hormone made in the ovary) starts to inicrease. Estrogen causes the lining of your uterus to thickened to prepare it for pregnancy, and it causes growth inside the ovary, as well. In mid cycle, Estrogen drops and Progesterone (another hormone) starts to rise. If you become pregnant, progesterone maintainis the pregnancy until the placenta is formed. If you do not become pregnant, progesterone causes you to get your peeriod. If you have a normal 28 day cycle (from the first day of your period until the first day of your next period) ovulation occurs on cycle day #14. You can ONLY become pregnant if you have sex on cycle day #13, 14, 15, or 16 each month. If you do become pregnant on one of those days, a pregnancy test will not show a positive result until 14-21 days later. The best time to take a pregnancy test is seven days after you miss your next period. If you do not wish to become pregnant, avoid sex on those days.
