Ovulation

If you’re planning to get pregnant, one thing that will really help you is having a good understanding of the ovulation cycle.

Menstruation is the name for the discharge of blood, fluid and mucous from the uterus.

The follicular phase is the time from day 1 of your period until the day on which you ovulate.

This is the phase of your menstrual cycle which begins after you have ovulated and lasts until either pregnancy occurs or the breakdown of the corpus luteum has begun.

The potential correlation between a woman’s menstrual cycle and the moon is fascinating, if sadly lacking in scientific fact.
