UKUZALA KWAMI - NGINGAKUBONA KANJANI UKUTHI NGINAMANDLA OKUZALA (UKULANDELA NGE-ISHADI UKUZALA)

Ngingakwazi kanjani ukubona ukuthi ngikhulelwe kalula?

Ngesikhathi sokuvuthwa kweqanda (ovulation) amazinga e-estrogen ayakhuphuka futhi abangele ukuthi inani likasawoti emacaleni (saliva) landuke. I-saliva ihlolwa ntofontofo ekuseni ngaphambi kokudla, ukuphuza noma ukuxubha amazinyo. Uma usuqala ukubona iphethini efana namahlamvu e-fern (ferning pattern) kusho ukuthi ukuchuma sekusondela, i-ovulation iseduze.

Nivuthwa nini amaqanda (when are you ovulating)

Isikhathi sokuchuma okuphezulu singahluka ngisho nasebafazane abanemijikelezo ejwayelekile.

Kukhona izindlela eziningi zokuthola ukuthi uvuthwa nini iqanda. Lezi zindlela zisukela kumakhithi okuhlola athengwa ezitolo, kanye nezindlela zemvelo. Ziklanyelwe ukukusiza ukukhomba izinsuku ozikhulelwe kalula kakhulu ukuze nize nilale ngocansi uma nizama ukukhulelwa. Lezi zindlela ziboniswe ukuthi zikwazi ukubikezela i-ovulation cishe ngo-50% wesikhathi, futhi zilungele kakhulu imibhangqwana engagcini ngokulala ngocansi njalo. Kubalulekile ukunakekela ukuthi ningazidaleli ingcindezi ngokuhlela ngokucindezela isikhathi socansi, ngoba lokho kunganciphisa ukuzethemba ngokocansi, ukwaneliseka, kanye nenani lamasikhathi enilalana ngawo.

Izivivinyo zokuvuthwa kweqanda (Ovulation tests – In Stream)

Lawa makhithi okuhlola i-ovulation akala izinga le-hormone ebizwa nge-luteinizing hormone (LH) emchameni wakho. Lena ingenye yama-hormone anikeza ama-ovary isignali yokukhulula iqanda. Amazinga e-LH aqala ukukhuphuka cishe amahora angu-36 ngaphambi kokuvuthwa kweqanda, nokho amanye amakhithi azwela kuphela ukushintsha kuze kube amahora angu-24 ngaphambi kwalokho.

Amamikrosikhopu amancane okuhlola i-ovulation (Mini Ovulation Microscopes)

Ngesikhathi sokuvuthwa kweqanda amazinga e-estrogen ayakhuphuka futhi abangele ukuthi inani likasawoti emacaleni landuke. Lapho i-saliva ibekwa esilayidini se-microscope, usawoti owomile uyakristala ube iphethini ebonakala njengamahlamvu e-fern, okusho ukuthi i-ovulation iqalile. Kufanele uhlolisise i-saliva ntofontofo ekuseni ngaphambi kokudla, ukuphuza noma ukuxubha amazinyo. Uma usuqala ukubona le phethini ye-fern kusho ukuthi i-ovulation iyasondela.

Ukuzobhonga (Charting)

Umzimba wakho unikeza izimpawu zemvelo ezikhombisa ukuthi uvuthwa nini iqanda nokuthi usuke ukhulelwe kalula nini. Lezi zimpawu zingalandelwa ngenqubo ebizwa ngokuthi ukuzobhonga (charting). Wena uqopha iphethini lezinguquko emzimbeni ukuze ukhombe izinsuku zakho zokuchuma phakathi komjikelezo ngamunye. Lezi zinguquko zemvelo zifaka phakathi: - Izinguquko ekushiseni okuyisisekelo komzimba wakho (basal temperature) - Izinguquko kwekhwalithi nasekuqiniseni koketshezi lwe-cervix (cervical fluid) - Ukuma nokubekwa kwe-cervix

Izinguquko ekushiseni komzimba wakho

- Ngaphambi kokuvuthwa kweqanda, izinga lokushisa eliyisisekelo lomzimba wakho (izinga lokushisa eliphansi kunawo wonke phakathi kwamahora angu-24) lisukela ku-97.0–97.5 degrees Fahrenheit noma ku-36.1 kuya ku-36.3 degrees Celsius. Lokhu kubizwa ngokuthi i-Follicular Phase. Abanye abafazane, hhayi bonke, bangaba nokwehla okuncane kokushisa - Ngemva kokuvuthwa kweqanda, ukuguquguquka kwama-hormone kubangela ukwanda kokushisa komzimba kufike futhi phakathi kuka-97.6 kuya ku-98.9°F noma ku-36.4 kuya ku-36.6°C (Luteal Phase) - Ngosuku olulandela i-ovulation, izinga lokushisa ngokujwayelekile lenyuka ngaphezulu ngo-0.2 degrees F noma ngo-0.11 degrees C. Izinga lokushisa uma lihlale liphezulu phakathi kwezinsuku ezingu-10–16 libuya kujwayelekile. Lokhu kusho ukuthi akukho ukukhulelwa. Uma izinga lokushisa lihlala liphezulu izinsuku ezingu-18 nangaphezulu – kufanele wenze ukuhlolwa kokukhulelwa.

Isikhathi esingcono kakhulu sokuqopha izinga lokushisa komzimba

Isikhathi esingcono kakhulu sokuqopha lokhu wukwenza ngokushesha nje uvuka ekuseni, kungcono ngesikhathi esifanayo nsuku zonke, usebenzisa i-thermometer yokushisa okuyisisekelo (basal thermometer). Zama ukwenza lokhu kube yinto yokuqala oyenzayo, uzame ukunganyakazi kakhulu ngaphambi kwalokho njengoba noma yikuphi ukunyakaza kuzokhuphula izinga lokushisa komzimba wakho.

Izinguquko ku-mucus ye-cervix

Ukuqina (consistency) kwe-mucus ye-cervix kushintsha phakathi komjikelezo ngenxa yokuguquguquka kwama-hormone. Abafazane abaningi bathola ukuthi ngokubheka nokurekhoda lezi zinguquko kungenzeka ukubikezela i-ovulation nesikhathi sokuchuma kakhulu sokukhulelwa. Ukuba khona kwe-mucus ye-cervix ngesikhathi se-ovulation kusekela isidoda futhi kusiza ukuhambisa isidoda ukuya eqandeni, futhi kuvikele isidoda ebukhali bemvelo bokulahlekelwa usawoti ngaphakathi esithweni sangasese sowesifazane (vagina). Iklinikhi ehamba phambili yokucindezela noma ukuqinisa isitho sangasese sowesifazane e-Australia ingakweluleka kabanzi ngalolu daba.

Umbala we-mucus ye-cervix

Ngaphambi kwe-ovulation, kungase kubonakale noma kuqapheleke okuncane kakhulu koketshezi lwe-cervix. Bese kuba nokuqoqeka kancane kancane kwe-mucus. Ngokuvamile umbala wayo uba ophuzi noma ufiphele (cloudy) ngokuma okunamafinyila futhi okunamathelayo. Lokhu kubizwa ngokuthi i-mucus ye-cervix engeyona eyokuchuma (non-fertile cervical mucus) noma i-mucus ye-cervix enobutha. Njengoba i-ovulation isondela, inani le-mucus ye-cervix liyanda. Umbala ushintshela kokumhlophe noma okokhilimu (cream) ngokuma okumanzi kakhulu okuncane okunamathelayo. Inani loketshezi liyanda ngesikhathi se-ovulation futhi lichazwa ngabanye abafazane njengebushelelezi, futhi licishe libe sengathi libonakala kancane (semi transparent). Abanye abafazane bathola ukuthi banezinkinga ngenani nokuqina kwe-mucus ye-cervix. Izinkinga nge-mucus ye-cervix zingadala umgoqo ekutheni umuntu akhulelwe.

Ukuma nokubekwa kwe-cervix

Ngemva kokuya esikhathini (menstruation) nangaphansi kwethonya le-estrogen, i-cervix iba nochungechunge lwezinguquko ekubekweni nasekuthambekeni kwayo. Eningini lomjikelezo wokuya esikhathini i-cervix ihlala iqinile futhi ibekwe phansi futhi ivalekile. Kodwa njengoba i-ovulation isondela, i-cervix iba mnene. Iyakhuphuka futhi ivuleke ngenxa yamazinga aphezulu e-estrogen ekhona ngesikhathi se-ovulation. Lezi zinguquko, ezihambisana nokukhiqizwa kwezinhlobo ze-mucus ye-cervix ezikhulisa ukukhulelwa, kusekela ukusinda nokuhamba kwesidoda. Ukuzobhonga (charting) kulandelela zonke lezi zinguquko. Ngokwezibalo, ukukhulelwa kungenzeka kakhulu uma ucansi luba phakathi kwezinsuku ezintathu eziphetha ngosuku lwe-ovulation.
