What is the difference between the luteal phase and ovulation?

luteal phases and ovulation are different parts of the female monthly cycle. The luteal phase is the time period from the first day of ovulation to the day before the start of the menstrual period. Ovulation occurs once a month when a woman releases eggs from her egg follicle, which passes through the fallic tube. This is usually the time when pregnancy is most likely to occur. If the sperm does not produce an egg within one day after its release, it will begin to crumble and leave the body during the menstrual period. The luteal phase can usually be dependent on holding the same time every month, which is often about 14 days for most women. The onset of ovulation may be unpredictable and may not start if expected due to illness, stress or drugs. Most women can say when they ovulate by watching the Basal body temperature throughout the month, because this temperature usually increases by half or full degree during this time. After the ovulation begins, the luteal phase begins and lasts until the next period.

A woman can use an ovulation calendar to monitor her luteal phase length and the onset of ovulation for each month. It is important that a woman knows how long her cycles are usually to make these calendars accurate. If the ovulation calendar is accurate, most women give a good idea of ​​when they can expect to be ovulated every month. To use the calendar, the woman simply takes the length of her cycle and deducts the length of her luteal phase. The number that will usually be the result will be the day when ovulation begins.

In some cases, it may be difficult to monitor the luteal phase and ovulation in the ovulatory calendar, because some women have unpredictable menstrualcs or are not sure how long their luteal phase lasts. Most doctors recommend using a 28 -day cycle and a 14 -day luteal phase, a diameter for most women if the cycle differs from month to month. Women who have luteal phases that are too short orToo long, they may have problems with pregnancy, but the doctor may prescribe progesterone therapy to help with it. Too short luteal phase is less than 10 days and too long the luteal phase exceeds 16 days.
