Ovulation Cycle and Pregnancy

Ovulation is the term for the time when one of your ovaries ejects an egg, which lingers invitingly in the dark corners of your womb, smiling and beckoning at passing sperm.

In fact, some years ago, a medical researcher made headlines when she discovered (upon close scrutiny), that the usual understanding of how pregnancy occurred was (pardon the pun), a misconception. Male medical researchers had consistently described fertilization in the way men have always described sexual encounters.

The sperm, his smokes rolled up in his T-shirt sleeve that stretches taut over a rippling bicep, swims valiantly upstream. He knows not why.

Muscling aside the weaker sperms, the slackers and the old sperms, our hero encounters the egg, who’s just lying there, thinking of England. The sperm penetrates the egg and presto, fertilization occurs!

Predicting Your Ovulation Cycle with New "At Home" Technology


Ovulation Cycle MonitorNew monitoring systems, that can be used in the privacy of your own home, can measure your natural hormone levels to establish when you are ovulating. These ovulation cycle monitors can help you concieve a baby much faster than traditional methods since you will know specific days that you are your most fertile. So stop counting days on the calendar and start listening to your body's natural ovulation signs.

But when a female medical researcher got her hands on the scanning electron microscope, she found something else going on right under everyone’s noses, presumably since the dawn of human evolution. The egg, far from being a passive participant in fertilization, actually sends out trailing strands of amino acids that act like fishing lures. When a strand encounters a passing sperm, it catches and reels him in. All unawares, then suddenly hooked, the sperm’s little head penetrates the crafty egg, who planned the whole thing all along.

Ovulation occurs halfway through the cycle—sometime around the fourteenth day of the standardizes 28-day menstrual cycle (which, by the way, may be standard but is by no means true for most women, so if you aren’t planning to get pregnant right away, don’t try to calculate your infertile days from this article!)The reason ovulation predictors are so popular for pregnancy planning is that knowing your dates of ovulation really puts you in the driver’s seat in terms of getting pregnant. Once you know the date, you can light the candles, call your honey and get to work.

Why Sacrifice Fashion for Function when it comes to Baby Diaper Bags?

We have all seen them . . . those overly-baby diaper bags with pink bunnies or blue cars on them that just scream, "I carry dirty diapers in this bag." Fortunately today's diaper bags are much more hip for both mom and dad. They not only have a compartment for every baby item you might want to have handy, but also come in a variety of styles and fabrics to suit your adult needs and style preferences.


This stylish bag only $64

Many retailers are starting to realize that parents would much rather carry their essential baby items in a ergonomic backpack, stylish hobo bag, dual purpose stroller bags or a hip messenger bag in more contemporary fabrics. No one has to know its a diaper bag anymore!

Check out all the new styles of diaper bags that will suit your adult fashion senses no matter what budget you have to spend.
