If starting from average weight, normal weight gain during pregnancy is about 25-30 pounds
If you were at a normal weight before pregnancy, you should gain about 25 to 30 pounds. If you were underweight before pregnancy, you should gain between 28 and 40 pounds. If you were overweight before pregnancy, you should gain between 15 and 25 pounds. If you were obese before pregnancy, you should gain between 11 and 20 pounds.
An increase in amount of cervical mucus is correlated with an increase in fertility leading to ovulation.
Changes in your cervical mucus can signal when you are fertile. After your period has finished, your cervical mucus gradually increases in amount and changes in texture. This change reflects the rising levels of the hormone oestrogen in your body. It also shows you are close to ovulating.
Tracking basal body temperature is more reliable than urine tests.
If it is very important that you know if and when an egg is released, a urine test kit, called an ovulation predictor kit, works better. BBT also is not a reliable way to prevent pregnancy.
Pelvic pain when you should be ovulating is common and does not necessarily indicate a medical problem.
Some women feel ovulation as one-sided backache or a tender area. The condition, called mittelschmerz, may last anywhere from a few minutes to a few days.
Endometriosis is a common fertility problem.
Endometriosis is a very common gynecological condition affecting women in their reproductive years. Over time, accumulation of scar tissue causes adhesions and sometimes severe pain, if close to nerve fibers. When impacting the fallopian tubes, endometriosis can also negatively impact fertility and outcomes of infertility treatments.
