Taking a birth control pill and getting pregnant are completely different situations, but they both have something in common, and that is that they both suppress the hormones involved in your menstrual cycle, which means that you won't ovulate, so you can't get pregnant. In both cases, your fertility and a functioning menstrual cycle must be included again.
Birth rate after HAK
If you've decided to come off HAK and the time is right to try for a baby, it's adjustment time for you and your hormones. It's different for everyone and requires a certain amount of patience.
It is common for women to take the pill for a long time - often up to ten - fifteen years. We may not be fully aware that HAK completely shuts down your reproductive system. The bleeding you have when taking HAK isn't actually a real cycle - it's just a side effect of withdrawing from synthetic hormones. So, when you decide to come off the pill, it can actually take a while for your hormones and ovaries to get into the right rhythm again.
Fertility after pregnancy
If you are breastfeeding after pregnancy, you will probably not have a period for about 6 months (depending on the frequency of breastfeeding). If you do not breastfeed, menstruation may return about six to eight weeks after giving birth. However, everyone is different and there are no set rules for this.
So how do you know if your hormones have returned to normal and you are fertile or ovulating again? This is where charting your cycle using the mucosal method comes in, to see how your fertility is returning and to monitor it in the future.
How do I know I'm ovulating?
To detect ovulation, there are several domestic indicative methods:
- Calculation from the usual cycle length
The simplest method, which is based on the fact that the period between ovulation and the start of the next menstruation lasts about 14 days. This calculation is only suitable for women who have a regular cycle. If you subtract 14 days from your expected menstruation date, you will arrive at the date when ovulation is most likely to occur.If a woman has a 28-day menstrual cycle, ovulation - the release of an egg from the ovary - occurs around 14. day from the start of menstrual bleeding.
- Monitoring cervical mucus
At the time when you are most fertile, the density of the mucus secreted by the cervix changes and you notice it as discharge. When you ovulate, the discharge is thinner, transparent and forms in larger quantities. Immediately after ovulation, it thickens and turns white. - Basal temperature measurement
Basal temperature is the body temperature that is measured in the body cavities, in the mouth under the tongue, in the anus or in the vagina. Not under the armpit or in the ear cavity, immediately after waking up and after ovulation will increase up to 0.5°C. It will then remain elevated until the next menstrual period, or possibly throughout the pregnancy. - Ovulation tests
Ovulation tests, which you can buy in any pharmacy or even drugstore, detect the presence in the urine of the so-called luteinizing hormone, which is responsible for triggering ovulation. - Determination of ovulation at the gynecologist
The most accurate method of determining ovulation is its confirmation by ultrasound and determination of hormones from the blood. Before the expected ovulation, the gynecologist will perform an ultrasound examination, so-called. folliculometry, which measures the size of the maturing follicle on the ovary and can even tell you with a fair degree of accuracy when you can expect to ovulate.
Approximately 7 days after ovulation, the progesterone concentration in the blood can tell you whether ovulation has taken place correctly and whether the progesterone levels are sufficient to get pregnant.
But the most important thing is to realize one thing. If a woman wants to get pregnant, she needs to be mainly cool and calm.
Regular measurement of basal temperature and repeated examination of ovulation tests begins to be a very stressful factor after a certain period of time. Over time, this stress can be transferred to your partner and negatively affect your relationship.
