Five Ways To Know If You Are Ovulating
1. Get to know your body. Twenty percent of women experience cramps in the
lower abdominal area, often to the side they are ovulating from. This is
your body's way of telling you it¹s time to get to it.
2. Check the calendar. Most women ovulate in the middle of their cycle. So
if you have a 28-day cycle, then for most women ovulation will occur on day
14. If you want to be sure then keep a menstrual calendar.
3. Take your temperature. You can take your basal body temperature with a
special thermometer gauge. Even a little rise could mean you are ovulating
but you need to chart this for a few months to notice a pattern. It must be
done first thing in the morning before you do anything else... and we mean
anything!
4. Monitor your cervical mucus. Before ovulation there is little or no
discharge present. Approaching ovulation, discharge will be moist or sticky
and creamy in colour.
5. Saliva Ovulation Tester. Maybe Baby is a mini microscope that magnifies
your saliva to help identify which phase of the menstrual cycle a woman is
in. Maybe Baby are giving away six microscopes valued at $79.95 each. Visit
