Question

OK i am 17 and i am NOT sexually active.I want to wait until im married. i just read a question about ovulation. What in the world is that! I know that maybe i should know but i dont and i hate asking my mom cause she always asks why i want to know before she answers me!

Answer 1

I would not feel comfortable answering this sort of question for someone else's child.  You should really talk to your mom - she'll appreciate that you came to her.  Just tell her you saw the word and wondered what it meant.

Answer 2

First of all, great decision on your part. I hope you stick with it. It's perfectly O.K. that you don't know what ovulation is, although I'm surprised that they haven't talked to you about it in health class (unless you are home schooled, which I was for a time). Ovulation occurs about halfway through your menstrual cycle (as a general rule), and it the time in that cycle when you fertile. It happens when a mature egg is released from one of your ovaries. After the egg is let loose, it's possible for it to be fertilized by a sperm. The reason it's so important in pregnancy is that this is the time when women who want to get pregnant try to track down, so that they can concieve. Everyone's body is different, so it's not easy to figure out exactly when someone is ovalting. I hope that helped! God bless!
