How to detect physical symptoms during ovulation

Basal Body Temperature

During ovulation, a woman will experience a slightly increase of their body temperature. This is because of the hormones that play important part during this process. To know if a woman is ovulating or not, she should keep a diary that contains records of her basal body temperature. A woman must record her oral temperature upon waking up every morning. Although other routes for taking temperature would be acceptable, still the oral temperature is more accurate in measuring. If an increase of body temperature is noted, then a woman is ovulating. When you are using this procedure, it is vital to identify factors that might influence the results such as physical exertion, illness and insomnia.

Monitoring of the cervical mucus
In the course of ovulation, the cervical mucus evolves into mucus that is more stretchable, slippery and clear. A woman can analyze her cervical mucus by using her fingers. When a woman is not yet ovulating, her cervical mucus is dry. However, if a woman is already ovulating, her cervical mucus becomes viscous and the color is cloudy.
