Symptoms of Ovulation
The first step to noticing changes in your body is to know your body very well; this is usually extremely simple for women as we are very intuitive by nature Just another plus of being a woman. The first symptom of ovulation is your vaginal secretions will increase and become almost the consistency of raw egg whites, this occurs because of a change in hormones. Two to three days before you ovulate, you'll probably notice an increase in clear, slippery cervical mucus. These are the days when you're fertile, with your most fertile day occurring on the last day. On the last day of this particular type of discharge or on the day after, ovulation is actually going to occur. It's also true that you don't have to quite hit it on the mark, so relax a little bit. Sperm can live for up to five days in your vagina, so if you have intercourse within 1 to 2 days before ovulation, you're much more likely to conceive. Another thing you may notice is that you might cramp ever so slightly. You'll usually feel this pain on one side or the other around your ovaries. The pain can feel a little sharp, and can be experience over several hours, or can occur quickly and intermittently. It signifies that the egg has been released from one of your ovaries, and is ready to move down the fallopian tube. Pain associated with ovulation may occur every month but, for some reason usually occurs every third month. In most women the pain disappears within 6 to 8 hours but, can persist for 24 to 48 hours. You may also experience nausea, bloating, frequent urination, and pain during intercourse however, this is uncommon. Another symptom you may notice is that you have a slight pink tint to your vaginal secretions. Again, this is completely normal. Of course, ovulation symptoms and signs vary between women. However, you should be able to check your basal body temperature and notice that you have a slight increase after you ovulate. For most women, body temperatures rise between 0.4 and 1 degrees during ovulation. As well as the symptoms listed here, many women report that during this time they actually have an increased desire to have sex. This is simply your body's way of making sure all of its hard work does not go to waste. After all you know what they say it takes two to tango! Even though this might seem like a lot of information, if you become more familiar with your body over the long run, you'll not only be able to identify your symptoms of ovulation, but can also shorten the time it takes you to conceive. -->
