Ovulation monitoring is a method used to track a woman's menstrual cycle to determine when she is most fertile. This process can involve observing physical signs, such as changes in cervical mucus or basal body temperature, as well as using ovulation predictor kits that detect hormonal changes in urine. By identifying the days when ovulation occurs, women can better plan for conception or avoid pregnancy. Monitoring can also help in understanding overall reproductive health and may assist healthcare providers in diagnosing potential fertility issues.
