ovulation?

Question

how can u tell when your ovulating? does it feel differnt? or can u see something? explaine in details plz.

Answer 1

Some feel it, some don't. I've heard it described by one woman as feeling a little "pop." Personally (the 2-3 times in my life I have actually ovulated) I felt a mild cramp that I didn't realize until later was ovulation. If you're trying to know when you're ovulating, trust me there are better ways... basal body temperature, ovulation predictor kits, ferning microscopes, etc

Answer 2

~Ovulation Pain~



Ovulation pain, also know as "Mettleshmertz", which literally translates to "Middle Pain", can occur before, during and/or after ovulation occurs, which is why ovulation pain is normally considered to be a secondary fertility sign, used to help pinpoint ovulation, when utilized in conjunction with primary fertility signs, such as temperature, cervical fluid observations and cervical position.

Ovulation pain occurs in the pelvic region, below or near the hip bones, on one or both sides of the pelvis. The difference in sensation can help many women distinguish where they are in their cycles. For instance...

When some women have a dull ache on one or both sides, or an alternating achiness, that often means that ovulation is going to occur soon and the ovaries are swelling with follicles.


When a sharp, quick, stabbing pain occurs, that often means ovulation is taking place right at that time, and the sharp pain is from the egg shooting out of the follicle very, very quickly.


The third kind of pain happens after ovulation has already taken place, and it like a nagging ache on *one side, which some describe as a "pulled muscle-kind-of-feeling", which relates to the corpus luteum (the left over shell from the egg, which, when it was whole, was considered a follicle) being left behind on the ovary as a temporary cyst, in order to produce Progesterone until the end of the luteal phase, or the end of the pregnancy, whichever the case may be.


(*Although with fraternal twins or multiples, a woman could ache on both sides if she ovulated from both sides that cycle.)

You ovulate up to 2 weeks after your period. I have a slight cramp on the right side where your ovaries are located. It could be the right or left but the right is usual for me. It only lasts a minute or two. It happens several times in the course of a day for me. Or you can buy the tests if you want to be posotive about it.

Answer 4

when you are ovulating you have a really thick mucusy discharge. if you are trying to get preg. then start having sex when you realize it and do it for about 5 to 6 days after you notice it. if you are not trying to then make sure that you use protection for about a week. most women ovulate 2 weeks after thier period but not all.

Answer 5

Sometimes when I ovulate I have mild cramps. Generally you ovulate in the middle of your cycle. Some people cramp, others dont.

Answer 6

I can't tell...it doesn't feel different, but you can tell by your daily discharge...it changes...gets less sticky (if you put a bit between two fingers and stretch it you can stretch it more and more after ovulation, around fifteen days after period), to let the male sperm travel upwards better.

Answer 7

some can feel it, some cant , its 12-16 after you start your period every month, and its your most fertile and usually only time of getting pregnant

Answer 8

You can't feel or see anything - drugstores sometimes sell tests to tell you when it's happening, though.
