To get pregnant, it is important first that you are in the fertile period, or when you’re ovulating.This period often depends on the length of each individual cycle.
A cycle is between the first day of menstruation and the first day of the next.In a normal 28-day cycle, ovulation takes place in 14 days.
In a long cycle of 35 days, takes place on day 21, but fertilization may occur during the days preceding ovulation.
It usually occurs in the middle of the menstrual cycle, or towards the 14 days for a cycle of 28 days.
Since the implantation of the fertilized egg, the pregnancy hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) begins to be secreted.
At the same time, the rates of the hormones estrogen and progesterone rise, preventing the loss of uterine lining.In a normal cycle when you are pregnant, rates of these hormones fall and have normal menstruation.
