Answer 2

Hi there dear.
First of all you need to be able to determine when you are ovulating. Counting the first day of your last period as day number one keep going until you come to the day of the next period that you expect to have. In other words if you are like many women and go 28 days between periods you will come up with day 14 as your half way point. All women are different and you will need to figure out what day is half way for you.
With that figure in mind these are the things that you will notice when you ovulate. The fluid or the discharge that your body produces changes depending on where you are in your cycle. Right after your menstrual period are the days that you will feel almost dry, producing very little moisture. This will gradually increase until at the time that you ovulate the fluid will be almost watery. Some women compare it more to the consistancy of egg whites....this is just a normal difference between women. But it will not be thick...that is way off. This remarkable fluid that your cervix produces does several things. It will protect the sperm from the otherwise acidic enviroment of the vagina and help them to live longer. (it can cause sperm to remain alive as they wait for a viable egg for 2 ot 3 days). It will actually create a path for the sperm to follow, they will swim in it to get to the cervix. Once they are there they are on their way to the egg.
Again, after you have ovulated this discharge will get thicker and less copious, it will gradually decrease until you have your period again.
Some women say that they feel a sharp pain, distinctly on one side or the other that is the egg being released. Many women never feel this at all. It just depends.
All this is controlled by the waxing and waning of the female hormones estrogen and progesteron in your body.
Another way to accurately determine the time that one ovulates is to carefully monitor basal body temperature, there is a specific fluctuation that means ovulation has occurred. This is usually only done when women have had a great deal of trouble getting pregnant and are trying to pinpoint ovulation.
I hope I have helped you understand what to look for when you ovulate.
