Iqiniso Lezindaba Zokuthi Ngakhulelwa Usuku olu-1 Ngaphambi Kokuya Esikhathini Sami

Abesifazane abaningi babelana ngezinto abaye bazihlangabeza ngezikhathi zokukhulelwa ezinkundleni zokuxhumana noma emaforum ahlukene. Kuyinto iqiniso lokuthi ukuhlela ukuya ocansini eduze nezinsuku ze-ovulation yikho kuphela isikhathi lapho ukukhulelwa kungenzeka kakhulu.

Nokho, uma ubheka kahle amaforum anjalo, uzothola izindaba ngezikhathi zokukhulelwa ezingakumangaza. Izindaba ezinjengokuthi "ngakhulelwa ngosuku olulodwa ngaphambi kokuyesikhathini" noma "ngakhulelwa isonto ngaphambi kokuyesikhathini" zikhombisa ukuthi ukukhulelwa kwesinye isikhathi kwenzeka ngezikhathi ongazilindele.

Kulesi sihloko, sizohlola iwindi lokuzala kowesifazane ukuze siqonde isikhathi esifanele sokuya ocansini uma nihlela ukukhulelwa. Lesi sihloko siphinde siphendule nemibuzo ejwayelekile efana nokuthi ngingakhulelwa yini ezinsukwini ezinhlanu ngaphambi kokuyesikhathini noma ukuthi kungenzeka yini ukukhulelwa ngaphambi nje kokuyesikhathini.

Umjikelezo Wakho Wokuya Esikhathini Nokuzala

Umjikelezo wokuya esikhathini umjikelezo wokuzala owesifazane onquma izinsuku zakhe azala kakhulu [1]. Nansi imininingwane ngezigaba ezihlukene zomjikelezo wokuya esikhathini kanye nokuthi ukukhulelwa kungenzeka yini noma cha kuzo zonke izigaba:

1. Isigaba sokuya esikhathini (Usuku 1-7)

Isigaba sokuya esikhathini yisigaba sokuqala somjikelezo wakho wokuzala, lapho umzimba wakho ukhipha ungqimba lwesibeletho futhi uba nokopha kwesitho sangasese sowesifazane [2]. Ngalesi sikhathi, alikho iqanda elivuthiwe elitholakalayo ukuze lichumiswe emzimbeni wesifazane.

Noma ungaya ocansini ngaphambi kokuya esikhathini, ithuba lokukhulelwa lincane kakhulu. Ngakho-ke, uma unemibuzo enjengokuthi, ingabe udinga ukuya esikhathini ukuze ukhone ukukhulelwa, khumbula ukuthi ukukhulelwa akunakwenzeka ngaphandle kweqanda lesifazane, futhi akukho qanda lesifazane elitholakalayo ngesikhathi sokuyesikhathini.

2. Isigaba se-follicular (Usuku 1-13)

Esigabeni se-follicular, umzimba wakho uqala ukuzilungiselela ukukhulelwa. Ngalesi sikhathi iqanda liqala ukukhula kolunye lwe-ovary lakho [3]. Lesi sigaba siqhubeka kuze kube i-ovulation, futhi amathuba okukhulelwa aphezulu uma uhlela ukuya ocansini ezinsukwini zokugcina zesigaba se-follicular.

Isizathu salokhu yikhono lesidoda ukuhlala sisaphila kuze kube yizinsuku ezi-5 ngaphakathi komgudu wokuzala wesifazane [4]. Lokhu kusho ukuthi uma ukuya ocansini kwenzeka ngisho nezinsuku ezi-5 ngaphambi kwesigaba se-ovulation, isidoda singafinyelela iqanda elikhululwa ngesikhathi se-ovulation futhi lisichumise.

3. Isigaba se-ovulation (Usuku 14)

Isigaba se-ovulation yisikhathi lapho esinye sama-ovary akho sikhulula iqanda elivuthiwe [3]. Lesi yisikhathi emjikelezweni wakho lapho amathuba akho okukhulelwa ephakeme kakhulu. Uma uhlela ukuya ocansini ngezinsuku ze-ovulation, kukhulu kakhulu kungenzeka ukuthi isidoda esisaphila sifinyelele iqanda elisaphila. Ngakho-ke, namathuba akho okukhulelwa aphezulu.

4. Isigaba se-Luteal (Usuku 15-28)

Ngemva kokuvuthwa kweqanda, umzimba wakho ungene esigabeni se-luteal ukulungiselela ungqimba lwesibeletho ukukhulelwa okungenzeka. Khumbula ukuthi iqanda lomfazi lingaphila kuphela amahora angu-12 kuya kwangu-24 ngemva kokuvuthwa kweqanda [4].

Ngenxa yale mpilo emfushane, amathuba okukhulelwa aphansi uma uhlela ucansi ngaphandle kokuzivikela ngaphambi nje kokuba uye esikhathini, ekugcineni kwengxenye ye-follicular. Nakuba kungase kube khona amathuba athile okukhulelwa ngaphambi kokuya esikhathini, isigaba se-luteal asinaso isivuno esiphezulu njengaleso sokuvuthwa kweqanda.

Isikhathi Sokuya Ocansini Nomthelela Waso Ekukhulelweni

Isikhathi sokuya ocansini sibamba iqhaza elibalulekile ekukhulelweni. Ucwaningo lukhombisa ukuthi nakuba iwindi lokukhulelwa livamise ukuba maphakathi nomjikelezo wokuya esikhathini, kusengenzeka ukukhulelwa ngezikhathi ezingase zibonakale zingenajwayelekile [5]. Nansi imininingwane ngezikhathi ezithile ezikahle zokukhulelwa:

Izinsuku Ezisondelene Nesikhathi Sokuhamba Kwegazi

Ucansi ngosuku olulodwa ngaphambi kokuya esikhathini noma ucansi kanye ngaphambi kokuba kuqale ukuya esikhathini kungase kubonakale sekwephuzile ukukhulelwa, kodwa uma umjikelezo womfazi umfishane ngokungajwayelekile noma uma isidoda sisinda ngendlela ethile isikhathi eside kunezinsuku ezi-5, kungase kube khona ithuba elithile.

Abanye abesifazane babika okuhlangenwe nakho okuthi nganginocansi ezinsukwini ezi-3 ngaphambi kokuba ngiye esikhathini, bese kamuva ngithola ukuthi ngikhulelwe. Nakuba lokho kungase kubonakale kungenzeki, kubonisa ukuthikhombisa ukuthi isikhathi sokukhulelwa nemijikelezo yabantu ngabanye kuyahluka.

Ezinsukwini Ezimbalwa Ngaphambi Kwesikhathi

Abesifazanebavame ukubuza, yikuphi amathuba okukhulelwa ngokuba nocansi ezinsukwini ezi-2 ngaphambi kokuya esikhathini noma ucansi ezinsukwini ezi-5 ngaphambi kokuya esikhathini? Lezi zimo zingaholela ekukhulelweni ngezikhathi ezingajwayelekile kakhulu ngoba kungenzeka kancane ukuthi kokubili isidoda neqanda kutholakale ngalesi sikhathi. Ngokufanayo, ucansi ezinsukwini ezi-4 ngaphambi kokuya esikhathini ngisho nasezinsukwini eziyisithupha ngaphambi kokuya esikhathini kuyizikhathi lapho amathuba okukhulelwa emancane kakhulu.

Okunye Okufanele Kucatshangelwe

Ucansi ngaphandle kokuzivikela ngaphambi kokuya esikhathini noma ucansi ngaphambi kokuba kuqale ukuya esikhathini alunamathuba amakhulu okubangela ukukhulelwa. Nokho, umzimba womuntu uhlukile, futhi umehluko ebudeni bomjikelezo ungaholela ezikhathini zokukhulelwa ezingalindelekile. Yingakho abesifazane abaningi belandisa izindaba ezinjengokuthi, ngahamba ngakhulelwa ezinsukwini ezi-2 ngaphambi kokuba ngiye esikhathini, noma ngakhulelwa evikini ngaphambi kokuba ngiye esikhathini.

Yisiphi Isikhathi Esingcono Kakhulu Sokukhulelwa?

Ubude bomjikelezo wokuya esikhathini bungahluka phakathi kwabesifazane kodwa isikhathi esingcono kakhulu sokukhulelwa sihlala sifana, okusondele ngosuku lokuvuthwa kweqanda [6]. Ngakho-ke, kungakhathaleki ukuthi ukuvuthwa kweqanda kwakho kwenzeka ngosuku lwe-14, ngaphambi kwalokho noma emva kwalokho, amathuba akho okukhulelwa aphezulu kakhulu uma uhlela ukuya ocansini ngaphandle kokusebenzisa izindlela zokuvikela ezinsukwini ezisondelene nokuvuthwa kweqanda.

Ngezinye izikhathi ukuhlela nje ukwenza ucansi ngesikhathi esifanele kungase kungabi okwanele. Isibonelo, uma owesifazane enempilo embi yokuzala, okungenzeka ngenxa yezimo ezahlukene zempilo kanye nezinto ezihlobene nokudla nendlela yokuphila, angase abe nobunzima bokukhulelwa [7]. Ezimeni ezinjalo, kubalulekile ukubonana nochwepheshe futhi uthole iseluleko ngezinguquko ezidingekayo endleleni yokuphila ukuze kukhuliswe impilo yakho yokuzala.

Ngaphezu kokulungisa ukudla nendlela yokuphila, izithasiselo zokuzala nayo ingaba negalelo elikhulu ekwandiseni umkhuba wakho wokuzala namathuba okukhulelwa. Izithasiselo zokuzala, ezifana Usekelo Lokuzala Kwabesifazane… kukunikeze uhla lwamavithamini namaminerali abalulekile okusekela ibhalansi yamahomoni nokusebenza kokuzala.

Ingabe Ukukhulelwa Kungenzeka Ngezikhathi Ezingajwayelekile?

Ukuvuthwa kwamaqanda (ovulation) yisikhathi lapho kungenzeka kakhulu ukukhulelwa, kodwa ukukhulelwa kungenzeka nangesikhathi esingajwayelekile ezimeni eziningi. Yingakho kukhona imibuzo efana nokuthi, ngingakhulelwa yini izinsuku ezinhlanu ngaphambi kokuya esikhathini, noma ingabe ungakhulelwa nje ngaphambi kokuya esikhathini.

Isizathu esivamile sokuthi kungani ukukhulelwa kungenzeka ngezikhathi ezingajwayelekile wumjikelezo ongajwayelekile kwabanye abesifazane [8…]. Uma umjikelezo ungajwayelekile, ukuvuthwa kwamaqanda kungase kungenzeki maphakathi nomjikelezo. Lokhu kusho ukuthi iqanda lingatholakala esidodeni ngesikhathi esingalindelekile, bese ukukhulelwa kwenzeka ngendlela engalindelekile.

Ingabe Ungakhulelwa Ngokocansi Okokuqala?

Kungenzeka uke waba nomcabango othile ngesikhathi sohambo lwakho lokuzama ukukhulelwa: can u get pregnant on your first time? Yebo, abesifazane abaningi bayakwazi ukukhulelwa ngesikhathi sabo sokuqala sokulala ngokocansi.

Ukukhulelwa kudinga ukuhlanganisana kwesidoda neqanda, okungenzeka emzameni wokuqala. Kodwa-ke, kungathatha nemizamo eminingi, okungokwemvelo ngokuphelele, futhi akukho okufanele ukhathazeke ngakho uma wehluleka ukukhulelwa emizameni embalwa yokuqala.

Omunye umbuzo ovamile ohlobene nokuchayeka kokuqala uthi, ingabe ungakhulelwa ngaphambi kokuya esikhathini okokuqala? Ngezikhathi ezingajwayelekile, amantombazane angavuthwa amaqanda emjikelezweni wawo wokuqala wokuya esikhathini ngaphandle kokuzwa…… kube nemijikelezo yokuya esikhathini evamile. Iqanda elikhishwa ngesikhathi sokuvuthwa kwamaqanda (ovulation) selivuthiwe futhi lilungele ukuchanyuselwa.

Indima Yokusebenzisa Ubulili Obuvikelekile vs. Obungavikelekile

Ukuzivikela ngesikhathi socansi kusho ukusebenzisa izindlela ezifana namakondomu, amaphilisi okulawula ukuzala, noma ezinye izindlela zokuvimbela inzalo ukuze kugwenywe ukukhulelwa. Kubalulekile ukuqonda indima yokuzivikela ngesikhathi socansi, kungakhathaleki ukuthi uhlela ukukhulelwa noma uzama ukugwema ukukhulelwa okungahlelekile.

Ubulili Ngaphandle Kokuzivikela

Abesifazane bavame ukubuza imibuzo enjengokuthi, ngiye ngenza ucansi ngaphandle kokuzivikela ngaphambi kokuya esikhathini, ingabe ikhona ithuba lokukhulelwa? Ukuba nocansi ngaphandle kokuzivikela ngaphambi kokuya esikhathini kusho ucansi ezigabeni zokugcina zesigaba se-luteal.

Ngalesi sikhathi, amathuba okuba khona kweqanda elisasebenza mancane, ngaphandle uma umjikelezo wakho ungajwayelekile. Lokhu kusho ukuthi mancane kakhulu amathuba okukhulelwa uma ubelale ocansini ungenalo ukuvikelwa ngaphambi kokuya esikhathini.

Ukulala ocansini usebenzisa ukuvikelwa

Ukulala ocansini ngaphambi kokuya esikhathini noma ukwenza ucansi ngaphambi kokuya esikhathini uma kusetshenziswa ukuvikelwa kwehlisa kakhulu ingozi yokukhulelwa. Ukusebenzisa ukuvikelwa kuvimbela isidoda ekufinyeleleni eqandeni ngisho noma iqanda litholakala ngendlela ethile ngaphambi kwezinsuku zokuya esikhathini.

Ngakho, ngisho noma uhlangabezana nezikhathi lapho ukulala ocansini ngaphambi kokuya esikhathini kwenzeka, ukusebenzisa ukuvikelwa kungakusiza ukuukugwema ukukhulelwa okungahlelelekile.

Okufanele ukukuqaphele ekugcineni

Ukukhulelwa kungenzeka ngezikhathi ezingase zibonakale zingalindelekile. Izindaba ezifana nalezi ezithi ngakukhulelwa usuku olulodwa ngaphambi kokuya esikhathini ziyasikhumbuza ukuthi umjikelezo ngamunye wokuya esikhathini uhlukile futhi kubalulekile ukuwuqonda umjikelezo wakho ukuze wenze izinqumo ezinolwazi.

Noma ngabe kuwukulalana usuku olulodwa ngaphambi kokuya esikhathini, ukulala ocansini izinsuku ezingu-2 ngaphambi kokuya esikhathini, noma ngisho ukulala ocansini izinsuku ezingu-5 ngaphambi kokuya esikhathini, awukwazi ukusho ngokwethembeka ngo-100% ukuthi ukukhulelwa akuyikuwenzeka. Ngakho-ke, uma inhloso yakho kuwukugwema ukukhulelwa okungahlelelekile, kufanele ukhethe izindlela zokuvikela ezisebenzayo ukuze uzizwe unokuthula kwengqondo.

Imibuzo evame ukubuzwa

1. Ngingakhulelwa uma umjikelezo wami mfushane?

Uma ubude bomjikelezo wakho wokuya esikhathini buphansi kunezinsuku ezingu-28, lokho kusho ukuthi umjikelezo mfushane. Ukukhishwa kweqanda kwenzeka kusondele esikhathini emjikelezweni omfushane futhi ungakhulelwa ngokuhlela ukulala ocansini ngokufanele.

2. Ingabe umuntu angakhulelwa ngaphambi kokuba aye esikhathini?

Kungenzeka ukukhulelwa ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ngaphambi kokuba uye esikhathini uma ukukhishwa kweqanda kwenzeka sekwephuzile. Isidoda singaphila izinsuku eziningana, okwandisa ithuba lokuchumiseka.

3. Ingabe ingcindezi ingathinta amathuba ami okukhulelwa?

Ingcindezi ingaphazamisa ibhalansi yamahomoni futhi ibambezele ukukhishwa kweqanda. Ukubambezeleka kokukhishwa kweqanda kungenza kube nzima ukukhulelwa futhi kungaholela nasekukhulelweni okungafuneki.
