All women, without exception, want to learn about the ensuing pregnancy as early as possible. One half of the female sex dreams about pregnancy and taking all sorts of attempts to its origin, and after a long-awaited event happened is fundamentally changing the way of life. That's why pregnant women do not expect to wait to determine it before the delay menstruation Delayed menstruation - when to sound the alarm? . The other half of the women, on the other hand, the fear of recall unprotected sexual intercourse, and just want to learn as quickly as possible on the pregnancy or its absence. One of the first signs of pregnancy before missed period is implantation bleeding, which occurs at the time of the introduction of a fertilized egg in the uterine lining. Signs of implantation bleeding is difficult to determine, but it is possible.

What is implantation

Following the release of an egg from the ovary (ovulation) it falls into the abdominal cavity, and then into the fallopian tube. Moving through the fallopian tube, the egg meets the sperm, resulting in its fertilization. Then the fertilized egg is holding its way towards the uterus. Simultaneously with the movement of the egg begins to divide and becomes a blastocyst. Upon reaching the uterus, the blastocyst to be established in it that is attached to the mucous membrane. The process of introducing the blastocyst in endometrial thickness prepared called implantation. After implantation, can be held to talk about the pregnancy, and to detect the earliest signs of it.

How does this happen

Implantation bleeding directly related to implantation. It appears not all women, and some just do not attach any importance to this. Implantation bleeding is considered the first sign of pregnancy, which can be determined prior to the date the alleged menstruation.

It bleeding associated with implantation of microscopic lesions of blood vessels at the time when trying to penetrate into the blastocyst endometrium. Implantation bleeding occurs six to twelve days after conception, or about two weeks after unprotected intercourse.

How to recognize

"Recognition" implantation bleeding presents some difficulties. Yet there are a number of relevant features. These include:

• Excessive bleeding

Implantation bleeding is hardly bleeding. In fact, at the time of implantation may be a slight discharge of blood, as a rule, one or two drops on the underwear. In some women may be more "abundant" highlight - in the form of spotting.

• Highlight Color

Color selections at Implantation bleeding is ambiguous. It can be brown spots, bright red, pink or yellowish with one or two streaks of blood.

• Time of occurrence

Implantation bleeding usually occurs within seven to ten days prior to menstruation. It is also possible shortening of this period, especially in the presence of menstrual disorders. But the closer to the beginning of menstruation appears "scribble", the less likely that it is implantation bleeding.

• Changes in the schedule of basal temperature Basal temperature - try to move less

Identify changes in the schedule at the Implantation bleeding may only those women who for a long time was measured basal body temperature (not less than three months) and have no hormonal disorders Hormonal disorders - oversupply and a lack of equally dangerous . When Implantation bleeding is not always changes in the temperature curve.

In the second half of the menstrual cycle, progesterone production takes place Progesterone - norm and pathology And basal temperature is kept on the numbers 37, 2-37, 5 degrees. Reduced production of progesterone begins in mid-luteal phase, respectively, and a drop in temperature occurs. When Implantation bleeding is noted phenomenon of "retraction of the temperature curve" for one or two days. That is, at the time of implantation, which corresponds to the mid-luteal progesterone decreases the formation, and after introducing the blastocyst into the uterine wall thickness progesterone production resumes.

The ability to get pregnant has always been important for women, the question remains relevant today. Nowadays, much is known about how the female reproductive system and what you need to do in order to increase the chances of conception: in the menstrual cycle is the time most favored conceive a child.

What you need to know about the woman's menstrual cycle

Knowing how to "work" the menstrual cycle should be every woman. This will give her the ability to control fertility, the ability to give birth to the desired planned child.

Woman's menstrual cycle has an average duration of 28 days, give or take a few days. Usually it is different for every woman.

The countdown of the menstrual cycle begins on the first day of menstruation. The first two weeks of the maturation of ovarian follicles is (bubbles, which are egg), at this time, the most active female sex hormones, estrogens are formed in the ovary and promote maturation of the oocyte. After 14-16 days (28-day menstrual cycle) follicle ruptures and the egg goes in the "free floating": it falls first in the abdomen and then into the fallopian tube where the sperm must meet. This point is called ovulation Ovulation - How to determine as accurately as possible? , There are the most active pituitary hormones (endocrine gland, which is located in the brain). During ovulation may appear slight pain in the lower abdomen to the right or left (depending on where the matured follicle).

After ovulation, the ruptured follicle to place a so-called corpus luteum, which produces another female sex hormone - progesterone Progesterone - norm and pathology   and less estrogen. This period lasts, from ovulation until the last day of the cycle. Progesterone prepares the mucous membrane of the uterus to the introduction of the embryo; moreover, it inhibits the maturation of other follicles that could prevent the development of the pregnancy. But if pregnancy does not occur, the corpus luteum atrophies (shrinks), in its place is a small scar, progesterone level drops and starts tearing away of the mucous membrane of the uterus, which is accompanied by menstrual bleeding.

In what period of the menstrual cycle increases the likelihood of conception

The probability of conception is maximum during ovulation (calculated individually for their own calendar), that is, about two weeks after the start of the menstrual cycle. At the time of ovulation, you can add another two days, during which time the egg is "traveling" on the fallopian tubes (egg viability is maintained for days, even hours - the correction for the inaccuracy of the calculation of the time of ovulation). The opportunity to meet with the sperm and egg of conceiving a child at this point is equal to one chance in three.

During the second half of the first period (egg maturation) also exists the possibility of conception, as sperm hitting the female genital tract, remains viable for two to six days and can wait for the egg.

After a moment, two days of ovulation, conception is impossible, since the egg dies. Therefore, this period is called the phase of absolute sterility (relative sterility of the first week of the menstrual cycle).

What is planned pregnancy

Obstetricians are trying to instill in women the idea that pregnancy should be planned. A planned pregnancy is different from the unplanned, a woman with her husband before conception takes place full inspection, if necessary - treatment of identified diseases and foci of infection. The checkup also includes consultation genetics. It is very important for the health of the unborn child.

In order to calculate the most favorable for conception (ovulation plus two days), it is necessary to hold a special calculation by analyzing the length of their menstrual cycle for 6-12 months without using hormonal contraceptives.

This calculation is only suitable for women who have a menstrual cycle is not too varying duration. If the menstrual cycle each month varies greatly, the time of ovulation is more difficult to calculate.

Does the child's diet at conception

The body must be prepared to accept the embryo for that he must be a sufficient amount of energy (in fact accelerate metabolic processes), and that carbohydrates are better if they are ingested in the form of fruits and vegetables that contain natural vitamins and minerals, also taking participating in metabolism Metabolism: The basis of life of all living things . The basis of protein foods should make dairy products (cottage cheese, cheese, dairy drinks) in the diet must be present a small amount of meat or fish - animal proteins contribute to the restoration of red blood cells, which is also very important during pregnancy.

Do not forget that all the harmful effects on the body reduce the possibility of conception, as the negative effect on the maturation and viability of the egg. So you need to quit smoking How to Quit Smoking: Tips for Women , Drinking alcohol and caffeinated products (strong tea, coffee).

The period of conception is very important for the future of the baby, so you should take care of their health.
