Quotes About Ovulation

Female-female aggression (starving, abusing) causes spontaneous abortions. Hrdy notes that dominant, higher-ranking female primates overtly harass subordinate females. Such behaviors are "implicated in delays in maturation, inhibition of ovulation, or in extreme cases, spontaneous abortion by subordinates.
~ Phyllis Chesler
The shape of women's faces changes subtly during their ovulatory cycle, and men prefer female faces at the time of ovulation.
~ Robert M. Sapolsky
Why else evolve the fusiform? The shape of women's faces changes subtly during their ovulatory cycle, and men prefer female faces at the time of ovulation.
~ Robert M. Sapolsky
when women are ovulating, their fusiform face areas respond more to faces, with the ("emotional") vmPFCs responding more to men's faces in particular.
~ Robert M. Sapolsky
As for female mink, if they do not experience physical trauma at the male's hands, they do not ovulate.
~ Robin Baker
We tell infertile couples all the time that are having trouble conceiving because of the woman not ovulating, 'Just relax. Drink a glass of wine. And don't be so tense and uptight because all that adrenaline can cause you not to ovulate.'
~ Phil Gingrey
I must have nodded off. How was Christmas for Paige and Preacher?" "Good," Paul said. "They have some big news. Paige is expecting." "Ah, he did it," the general said with a chuckle. "He showed up for ovulation day." Paul laughed. "He's in a lot of hot water for telling too many people about that." "Yeah, I suppose. But it's so like him, don't you think? He's so damn transparent.
~ Robyn Carr
Continuous sexual receptivity and concealed ovulation gave our female ancestors an unprecedented opportunity for testing males as sexual partners, while running a lower risk per copulation of unwanted pregnancy than any other primate did. Sex during menstruation, pregnancy, and breast-feeding would also have given ample opportunity for judging potential long-term lovers by their copulatory skills.
~ Geoffrey Miller
HOW TO USE: 1000-1500 mg per day (divided doses). Many use throughout the cycle, but some stop once ovulation has occurred. Vitex takes 2-3 months to build up in the system. If using for luteal phase, take throughout the cycle with a break during menstrual bleeding. Should be taken long term for best results.
~ Sally Moran
Evening primrose is another essential fatty acid that benefits fertility. EPO specifically helps improve cervical mucus, making it more fertile and abundant. This in turn makes the female reproductive environment more "sperm friendly." Take this fertility herb after menstrual bleeding stops up through ovulation.
~ Sally Moran
We waste those eggs like crazy, of course, flushing them out every month in days of bleeding, but then most sperm are wholly useless as well, a thought to be considered elsewhere at greater length.
~ Siri Hustvedt
A woman's preovulatory waking temps typically range from about 97.0 to 97.7 degrees Fahrenheit, with postovulatory temps rising to about 97.8 and higher. After ovulation, they will usually stay elevated until her next period, about 12 to 16 days later.
~ Toni Weschler
three primary fertility signs are cervical fluid, waking temperature, and cervical position (this last one being an additional sign that simply corroborates the first two).
~ Toni Weschler
Even on the road, we continued our efforts to conceive. Part of our boy-baby effort was the need to try right at the time of ovulation. I packed an ovulation kit with me everywhere. When the strip turned blue, it meant we had a twenty-four- to forty-eight-hour window to get busy. At first I had Steve convinced that women ovulated twenty or thirty times a month. But I couldn't trick him forever. At some point he realized that that was impossible.
~ Terri Irwin
The daddy-at-home theory posits that concealed ovulation evolved to promote monogamy, to force the man to stay home, and thus to bolster his certainty about his paternity of his wife's children. The many-fathers theory instead posits that concealed ovulation evolved to give the women access to many sex partners and thus to leave many men uncertain as to whether they sired her children.
~ Jared Diamond
Uncle Pete made it clear: to have a girl baby, a couple should "have sexual congress twenty-four hours prior to ovulation." That way, the swift male sperm would rush in and die off. The female sperm, sluggish but more reliable, would arrive just as the egg dropped.
~ Jeffrey Eugenides
orientaciones y aspectos, y están en íntima relación con el ciclo uterino: si el óvulo que se libera durante la ovulación se fertiliza, dichas energías se expresan mediante la creación de una nueva vida; si no hay fecundación, se plasman en la vida de la mujer de cualquier otro modo.
~ Unknown
In a female guinea pig, a membrane normally covers the vaginal opening. It takes the release of sex hormones during ovulation to open up the membrane and allow the guinea pig to have sex.
~ Natalie Angier
The attrition continues, though at a more sedate pace, throughout a woman's youth and early middle age. At most, 450 of her eggs will be solicited for ovulation, and far fewer than that if she spends a lot of time being pregnant and thus not ovulating.
~ Natalie Angier
Perhaps eggs are like neurons, which also are not replenished in adulthood: they know too much. Eggs must plan the party. Sperm need only to show up- wearing top hat and tails, of course.
~ Natalie Angier
