Ovulation symptoms can vary from person to person, but some common signs may include:
- Changes in cervical mucus: It becomes clearer, thinner, and more slippery.
- Increased sex drive: Some women experience heightened libido around ovulation.
- Mild pelvic pain: Known as mittelschmerz, this can occur on one side of the lower abdomen.
- Breast tenderness: Hormonal changes can lead to breast sensitivity.
- Slight spotting: Some women notice light spotting during ovulation.
- Basal body temperature rise: Your body temperature may increase slightly after ovulation.
- Changes in cervix position: It may become higher, softer, and more open.
- Ovulation pain: Some women experience a brief, sharp pain on one side of the pelvis.
Keep in mind that these symptoms are not universal, and some women may not notice any of them. Tracking your menstrual cycle and using ovulation predictor kits can help identify when you’re ovulating with more accuracy. If you have concerns about your cycle or fertility, consider consulting a healthcare professional.
