Question

Answer 1

really though you need to use ovulation predictor kits..

Answer 2

Take your temperature every morning when you wake up, before getting out of bed or using the bathroom. Your temperature will drop slightly right before you ovulate, and then will rise. It will continue to rise on the following two days, and will register about 0.4 to 0.6 degrees higher than your normal temperature.

Step2Observe any abdominal discomfort. Some women experience a sharp pain in their lower abdomen when they begin to ovulate. You may also get a pain on either side of your lower back. The pain should only last a brief time.

Step3Be aware of discharge. Cervical mucus becomes thinner and more watery as ovulation approaches. At ovulation, it resembles raw egg whites in consistency.

Step4Notice any changes in cervix color, which also indicate ovulation. The normal color is pink; when you ovulate, the color becomes pale or bluish.

Tips & Warnings

Ovulation usually occurs midcycle. If your cycle is 28 days and you are regular, then you would ovulate on day 14.



If you are trying to avoid pregnancy or to get pregnant, ovulation kits are sold that help you determine exactly when you ovulate.
