Ovulation is the key moment in a woman’s menstrual cycle when an egg is released from the ovary, making it possible to conceive. Knowing when you’re ovulating helps increase your chances of getting pregnant, but many women find it tricky to identify the signs. Fortunately, your body gives you several natural clues that ovulation is happening.....CONTINUE READING THE FULL STORY HERE
One of the most common signs is a change in cervical mucus. Around ovulation, this mucus becomes clear, stretchy, and slippery almost like raw egg whites which helps sperm travel more easily to the egg.
You might also notice a slight increase in basal body temperature. After ovulation, your resting temperature typically rises by about half a degree and stays elevated until your next period.
Some women experience mild pelvic or lower abdominal pain, often called “mittelschmerz,” which happens as the ovary releases the egg. This can feel like a twinge or dull ache on one side.
Other signs include heightened libido, breast tenderness, and slight spotting or discharge.
Tracking these symptoms over a few months can help you predict your fertile window more accurately. Combined with ovulation tests or fertility apps, recognizing these natural signals can improve your chances of conception and make the process less stressful.
Listening to your body is a great way to understand your cycle and boost your fertility journey.
