Menstrual diaryIf you are having premenstrual-like symptoms, your health professional may ask you to keep a menstrual diary.
Ovulation Ovulation is the release of a mature egg from an ovary during the menstrual cycle. Ovulation occurs about halfway through the menstrual cycle, or about 14 days before the start of the next menstrual period.
Birth controlThe purpose of using birth control (contraception) is to prevent unwanted pregnancy. Birth control methods work either by preventing the male sperm from fertilizing the female egg (ovum) or by preventing a fertilized egg from attaching (implanting) in the womb (uterus) and developing.
