Couples who are trying to conceive, or using contraceptive methods need to know the precise phase of ovulation. Modern medical technology has made it possible to detect ovulation. In order to prevent pregnancy, pregnant women are anxious to keep track of their ovulation cycle. Five days is the average length of sperm lifespan. The fertility period begins prior to ovulation and lasts for approximately one to two more days after that (the life expectancy of an oocyte). The identification of the menstrual cycles is essential for pregnancy prevention and contraception (Musewu 2019). Artificial reproductive procedures can be used by doctors to assess whether the menstrual cycles are normal. This procedure is only possible during the ovulation cycle and within the reproductive window. An ultrasonogram would determine the dominant folly and follow it up until the ovulation. LH surge levels in the urine can be very sensitive to ovulation and are a reliable indicator for a woman’s fertility. The corpus luteum releases progesterone, its metabolites and is therefore able to indicate the close of the reproductive window.
Ultrasonography is able to detect and confirm the existence of ovulation by the shrinking or diminution in size of once-dominant foollicles. It also shows an increase in echogenicity which can indicate the formation of corpus luteum.
After confirming ovulation, the obstetrician will conduct hysterosalpingography and examination of the sperm. This imaging procedure evaluates the structure, hormone, and partner factors and focuses on fallopian tube patency and the endometrial cavity. The degree of fallopian tube patency dictates whether the oocytes will be fertilized and implanted in the endometrium (Lindsay, T. J., & Vitrikas, K., 2015). Analyzing sperm for viability and motility will determine the number of eggs, their morphology, and how active they are. These are important traits that will help you get pregnant in the future.
Fallopian tubes that are blocked can affect sperm motility. Obstructing fallopian tube access prevents the sperm from fertilization. A dose of Clomiphene citrate will cause ovulation in fallenopian tubes which are unobstructed and during anovulatory times.
A comprehensive examination will take place and the couple will be sent to an obsessiologist. Failure to conceive when taking the maximum dose of Clomiphene indicates a more complicated medical problem, and in-vitro fertilization is the next-preferred approach for treating infertility (Lindsay, T. J., & Vitrikas, K., 2015).
