Gender: finding the right rhythm to conceive a baby

In other words, the days preceding and that of ovulation are the “good” days. The famous ovulation. This is when the ovary releases an oocyte. This release takes place 14 days before the end of the menstrual cycle, which itself lasts an average of 28 days, but sometimes more and sometimes less. Also, unless you have a time machine, this D-day is very difficult to determine, since you have to count backwards. Ovulation tests allow you to more accurately determine when ovulation will occur. These tests measure the peak of a key hormone, LH (luteinizing hormone). To have the best chance of being pregnant you must make love the day of the peak as well as the next day.
