What is ovulation

What is ovulation? Ovulation is when one or more eggs are released from one of your ovaries. This is the most fertile time of your menstrual cycle.

Ovulation does not necessarily switch between ovaries each cycle. How does ovulation decide when I can get pregnant? To become pregnant naturally, an egg and a sperm have to meet in the fallopian tube before the egg dies. An egg survives no more than 24 hours after ovulation; unless, of course, it is fertilised by a sperm. However, sperm can survive for much longer within the genital tract (your vagina, uterus...

LONDON: Women may be risking a low intelligence quotient (IQ) for their unborn babies by dieting during  pregnancy, a new research indicates. Cutting back on vital nutrients and calories in the first half of pregnancy stunts the development of an unborn child's brain, says a new study. Although it was carried out on primates, researchers say the same findings are likely to be true for women, reports the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Thomas McDonald of the University of Texas Health Science Centre US, who conducted the study, said: "This study is a further demonstration of the importance of good maternal health and diet." "It supports the view that poor diets in pregnancy can alter development of foetal...

SEX DURING PREGNANCY

 SEX DURING PREGNANCYFor most women and their partners, pregnancy brings changes in the sexual relationship.
