the easiest thing to do is to buy some ovulation tests, they'll tell you. it's far easier than trying to read your body!

Your cerivcal mucus will be slimey and clear like raw egg white, and there will be more off it than at other times of the month. If you check for the position of your cervix inside it will be high and open. You may experience mild cramp like pains on the left side of your lower stomach. If you have been tracking your basal body temperature each morning it will now be between .4 and .6 degrees farenheit higher - it rises at ovulation (or with some women dips, then rises).
You can also calculate ovulation if you have regular cycles by taking 14 away from the number of days your cycles are long. For example if your cycles were 30 days long, 30 - 14 = 16 - therefore you would be ovulating on around day 16/17 each month. Women generally ovulate 14 days before their NEXT period.

Everyone is different. You can chart your ovulation by tracking your temperature ( it rises just before you ovulate) and you CM ( cervical membrane ). It becomes like egg whites. You can also chart your cycle and count back about 14 days from when your period starts. Your best bet it to purchase some ovulation predictor kits. The price can range from $15 and up.

As for signs, some women actually notice a small pop when the egg comes out of the ovary.

Good luck to you!

ovulation typically happens on the middle day of your cycle. The average cycle lenght is 28 days, which means ovulation takes place on day 14.
Cycle lengths vary though. You need to take the day your period starts as day 1, and then count the days until your next period. The number of days inbetween is your cycle length. The middle day is likely to be when ovulation occurs.
Some women feel a sharp pain when it is happening, the most common sypton is a change in your vaginal discharge. During ovulation it takes on the consisitency of egg white, clear, but very thick and gelatinous. Sorry if tmi!
You can buy ovulation predictor kits, its a pack of urine strips that when you think you are ovulation (ie middle of your cycle) you wee on the stick and it shows if there is a rise in your hormone levels, and are therefore ovulation. Bear in mind it is not uncommon for women to not ovulate every month.

Many people insist that ovulation always occurs right in the middle of your cycle, although correct in a lot of instances, every women is different, signs of ovulation are often crampy pains from alternate sides each month, often quite severe in effect some people suffer more than actual period cramps, a change in mood feeling often occurs, not necessary noticable by you often your partner!
Body temprature raises and you shold have a vaginal discharge which is similar to raw egg white consistancy. These symptoms may occur as early as one week after a period or as late as 3-4 days before your next period as all different, however usually 14 days before next period is a good indicator.
Happy ovulating and good luck concieving

I have only recently started to tell when I was ovulating and that's because we wanted to have a second child but I just wouldn't conceive. I checked all my hormones and everything was fine so I just decided to watch my body more closely. Usually we would try for a baby about 2 weeks after the 1st day of menstruation but were unsuccessful. then I noticed that 1 week after the 1st day of menstruation I would have pain in my pelvic zone for a day or two and my vaginal secretions would change during those days - they would become thicker and very much like the white of a raw egg in consistency. I had heard those were possible signs of ovulation. In January we tried just once on the 8th day after my period and I got pregnant immediately.

Some people don't know.

The signs to look for is a egg yolk discharge, and cramps, left or right side of pelvis.

I can never tell!

Are you in the UK?

I bought a ovulation kit from 'BOOTS' you get 5 sticks and pee on them.
Theres a guide inside the box to tell when you should start testing.
And it includes a preg test all for £20.

What it does it measures the hormone in your body for when it is about to release an egg.

Hope this helps! :-)

body temperature rises by 1 to 2 degrees at the time of ovulation. this symptom may be affected by illness, or other factors i.e. the time of year. another way to tell if your'e ovulatiing is simply by counting. it should be right in the middle of your cycle. there are various ovulation tests you can buy at the pharmacist. type in 'ovulation test' into google and lots of results will come up

The only thing I can tell you, same as others have, and that is to buy a test. I am having a problem with conceiving as well even though I have already had one child three years ago. Good luck.

try going to taking charges of your fertility.com they have better reading and signs that will help you.. taking your temp with BBT .. also helps you find out high temp means ovulate lower temp mean not ovulation yet and it is cheaper.. but it must be a basal temp... not a regular temp to see it you have a fever.. not that one
