Indlela Yokwazi Ukuthi Ukhulelwe Ngaphandle Kokuhlolwa Futhi Uqiniseke Ngezimpawu

Abesifazane abaningi bavame ukubuza ukuthi bangakwazi kanjani ukubona ukuthi bayakhulelwa ngaphandle kokusebenzisa ukuhlolwa futhi bayazibuza ukuthi kungenzeka yini ukubona ukukhulelwa ngokunaka nje izinguquko emzimbeni. Ukungaphuthelwa isikhathi sokuya esikhathini kuvame ukuba umkhondo wokuqala, kodwa kukhona ezinye izimpawu eziningi ezingase zikhombise ukukhulelwa ngaphambi kokuthi wenze ukuhlolwa. Umzimba uqala ukudlula ezinguqukweni zamahomoni ezithinta izinto ezifana namazinga wamandla, ukugaya ukudla, ngisho nemizwa yakho. Abanye abesifazane bayaqaphela, "Ngikhulelwe" lapho bebona lezi zinguquko zokuqala ngaphambi kokuqinisekisa ngokuhlolwa [1].

Uma uzama ukucosha umntwana, ukuqonda ukuthi ungakwazi kanjani ukwazi ukuthi ukhulelwe ngaphandle kokwenza ukuhlolwa kungakusiza ukubona izimpawu zisencane. Abanye abesifazane baqala ukuzizwa behlanza futhi bekhathele emasontweni ambalwa nje ngemva kokukhulelwa [2]. Kodwa khumbula—lezi zimpawu azilona ubufakazi obuqinisekile bokukhulelwa. Ukucindezeleka, izinguquko zokuphila, noma ukungalingani kwamahomoni kungabangela izimpawu ezifanayo [3].

Kulesi sihloko, sizoxoxa ngokuthi ungakwazi kanjani ukwazi ukuthi ukhulelwe ngaphandle kokusebenzisa ukuhlolwa ngokubheka izimpawu ezivamile zokukhulelwa, ukuthi yiziphi izinguquko okufanele uzibheke, nokuthi nini okufanele ucabange ukwenza ukuhlolwa. Futhi, sizophinde sixoxe nangokuthi ungaba kanjani nesiqiniseko esingu-100 sokuthi awukhulelwe nokuthi yiziphi izinyathelo okufanele uzithathe ngokulandelayo uma ungaqiniseki.

Izimpawu Zokuqala Ezingase Zikhombise Ukukhulelwa

Uma uzibuza ukuthi ungakuhlola kanjani ukuthi ukhulelwe ngaphandle kokuhlolwa kokukhulelwa noma ukuthi ungakumisa kanjani ukuthi ukhulelwe ngaphandle kokuhlolwa, ukunaka izinguquko zomzimba namahomoni kungakusiza uthole umkhondo. Ngezansi kunezinye zezimpawu zokuqala zokukhulelwa ezivamile ngaphambi kokuthi wenze ukuhlolwa.

1. Ukuphoswa Isikhathi Sokuya Esikhathini: Uphawu Olivame Kakhulu

Ukungaphuthelwa isikhathi sokuya esikhathini kuwuphawu olusobala kakhulu lokuthi kungenzeka ukhulelwe. Uma umjikelezo wakho uvame ukujwayelekile bese kungazelelwe uphuthelwa yisikhathi, kunethuba elikhulu lokuthi ukukhulelwa kube yimbangela. Ngemva kokukhulelwa, umzimba ukhiqiza i-human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), evimba ulwelwesi lwesibeletho ekuchithweni njengoba kujwayelekile [4].

Kodwa-ke, ukungaphuthelwa isikhathi sokuya esikhathini akusho njalo ukuthi ukhulelwe. Kungase kubangelwe nokucindezeleka, ukwehla noma ukwanda kwesisindo ngokuzuma, ukungalingani kwamahomoni, noma ukuzivocavoca ngokweqile. Abesifazane abanemijikelezo engajwayelekile bangase babone kunzima kakhulu ukubona lokhu.

Uma ucabanga ngokuthi ungakuthola kanjani ukuthi ukhulelwe ngaphandle kokusebenzisa ukuhlolwa, ukulandelela isikhathi sakho sokuya esikhathini nokubheka ezinye izimpawu kungakusiza, kodwa indlela engcono yokuqiniseka kusawuhlolo lokukhulelwa. Ukuqonda okusho ukukhulelwa kusiza ukucacisa ukuthi kubhekisela esimeni sokuthwala umbungu othuthukayo noma ifithasi ngaphakathi esibelethweni.

2. Amabala noma Ukopha Okuncane

Abanye besifazane baqaphela amabala amancane noma ukopha kokuzimisa ekukhulelweni kokuqala. Lokhu kwenzeka lapho iqanda elichamiswe linamathela odongeni lwesibeletho, ngokuvamile izinsuku ezingu-10 kuya kweziyi-14 ngemva kokukhulelwa. Lokhu kopha kulula kakhulu kunejwayelekile lokuya esikhathini—kuvame ukuba kupinki, kube nsundu, noma kubomvu obuthambile—futhi kuvame ukuhlala amahora ambalwa kuya ezinsukwini ezimbalwa.

Njengoba kwenzeka cishe ngesikhathi ofanele ube nokuya esikhathini, abesifazane abaningi bakudida nokuthi sekuyisiqalo somjikelezo wabo. Kodwa ngokungafani nokuya esikhathini, ukopha kokuzimisa akuhambisani nokugeleza okuningi noma amahlule.
