Disease description:

I want to have a baby with my husband, but I have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). My doctor advised me to monitor my follicular development, yet I’m not quite sure how to do so. So, how can I tell whether I’m ovulating?

Hello, You can determine whether ovulation has occurred through several indicators. First, consider the timing of ovulation: it typically occurs approximately one week after the end of menstruation. In addition to timing, changes in vaginal discharge can also provide clues—during ovulation, cervical mucus becomes noticeably stretchy and elastic (often described as “egg-white” in consistency). Intercourse during this phase significantly increases the likelihood of pregnancy. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you a happy and healthy life!
