What are the most common symptoms when ovulation?

Ovulation is the stage of the menstrual cycle, during which the egg leaves. The main list of symptoms of ovulation includes an increase in mucosal discharge from the vagina, pain in the lower abdomen, a decrease in basal temperature followed by a sharp increase. Now consider all this in more detail, so that you can determine ovulation in yourself.

Primary signs

So, what are the symptoms when ovulation occurs in almost all women:

• Change in basal body temperature. Before the onset of ovulation, a slight decrease in BTT occurs. As soon as it comes, a leap takes place. In order to learn how to determine ovulation in this way, it is necessary to carry out daily measurements of BTT for several cycles;
• Change in cervical mucus. In the event that it becomes liquid, reminiscent of its consistency of egg white, this is a harbinger of the fact that ovulation very soon will occur or is happening at the moment;
• Change in the position of the cervix. Independently determine the position of the neck is extremely difficult, because not all women are gynecologists by profession. But it is worth noting that before ovulation the cervix is at a more distant distance from the entrance to the vagina. In addition, it becomes softer.

The above list is used mostly by doctors. But what are the symptoms when ovulation can be other than this?

Secondary signs

At home, the definition of ovulation can be carried out and taking into account other symptoms, which are also often found in women.

Spasms in the lower abdomen, weak and moderate enough. In most cases, they go through a couple of hours, but can last several days.

An increased sensitivity of the breast and the appearance of soreness of the mammary glands. Many women have this symptom, which is caused by hormonal fluctuations during the menstrual cycle.

Strengthening of sexual desire. Of course, ovulation is the period when conception takes place, and nature has done everything possible to ensure that efforts are not in vain. In days of ovulation, many women notice increased sexual desire.

Bloating may also be a sign of ovulation, but counting each discomfort of the gastrointestinal tract as its manifestation is incorrect.

Exacerbation of smell, sight, ability to taste. All this manifests itself as a result of fluctuations in the hormonal background, but the causes have not yet been elucidated.

We looked at the symptoms of ovulation in women. Unfortunately, it also happens that the most favorable period for conception passes without any signs. If your family plans to give birth to a baby, then it is worth buying tests for ovulation. Their cost is not so great, and the accuracy is good enough. So, approximately in the middle of a cycle it is necessary to start using them. Outwardly, they are similar to pregnancy tests, and even the principle is identical. A weak second strip indicates that ovulation is about to be, and the period is already considered favorable (as is known, spermatozoa live for another day).

In this article, we described in detail what symptoms can occur when ovulating, and how a favorable period can be determined. We did not mention ultrasound, as this method can not be attributed to home diagnostics.
