What are the symptoms of ovulation?

Ovulation is a normal physiological phenomenon for women, but many women who lack experience cannot accurately confirm the ovulation period. However, as long as we observe carefully, we will find that women have some manifestations during the ovulation period. Through these manifestations, we can also accurately judge the ovulation period, thereby effectively increasing the chance of conception. So what are the manifestations of women's ovulation period? Let's learn about it together.

Ovulation refers to the process in which the egg cell and the surrounding cumulus granulosa cells are released together. A woman's ovulation date is generally about 14 days before the next menstrual period. After the egg is released from the ovary, it can survive in the fallopian tube for 1-2 days, waiting for fertilization; the male's sperm can maintain its fertilization ability in the female's reproductive tract for 2-3 days, so it is easy to get pregnant through sexual intercourse a few days before and after the egg is released. To be on the safe side, we call the 5 days before and 4 days after ovulation, together with the ovulation day, a total of 10 days, the ovulation period. Because it is easy to get pregnant through sexual intercourse during the ovulation period, the ovulation period is also called the fertile period or the dangerous period.

What are the symptoms of ovulation?

1. Decreased appetite: Studies have shown that women eat the least during their ovulation period. Experts point out that this is the result of human natural instincts that have been preserved to this day - female animals during ovulation will focus more on finding the opposite sex for mating rather than finding food.

2. Energetic: This is also a natural instinct inherited from humans. In order to successfully attract the opposite sex, women during ovulation will become energetic and love to express themselves.

3. Increased sexual desire: Generally speaking, women’s sexual desire is particularly strong during their ovulation period, which is a reflection of the fact that women’s body signals that they want to get pregnant have reached their highest level.

4. Decreased resistance: During ovulation, women’s vaginal mucus becomes thinner, allowing sperm to pass more easily and increasing the chances of successful conception. At the same time, women’s nasal mucus also decreases, which increases the chances of bacteria invading the human circulatory system.

5. Anal distension or pain in one side of the lower abdomen: The mature egg is discharged from the surface of the ovary and breaks through the follicle that wraps the surface of the egg. A small amount of fluid in the follicle will flow into the lowest part of the pelvic cavity. Women will feel a slight feeling of anal distension and slight pain in one side of the lower abdomen.

6. Increased vaginal secretions: Before ovulation, women have less vaginal secretions, which are sticky and opaque. As ovulation approaches, vaginal secretions gradually increase and become thin and milky white. During ovulation, the amount of secretions increases significantly and becomes watery, transparent and clear. Women will feel their vulva is wet and slippery, and when wiping with toilet paper, there will be egg white-like strips of mucus. This increase in vaginal secretions in women usually lasts for 2-3 days, which is the time when women are most likely to conceive.

7. Ovulation bleeding and temperature rise: The ovaries are responsible for the secretion of female endocrine hormones. Therefore, the fluctuation of estrogen secretion in the body before and after ovulation may cause a small amount of uterine bleeding, which is called ovulation bleeding. After ovulation, due to the secretion of progesterone, the body temperature will rise slightly. If you can measure your basal body temperature every morning, you can find out your ovulation date based on the changes in body temperature.

The above is an introduction to the symptoms of female ovulation. After understanding it, we know that women generally have symptoms such as increased body temperature during ovulation. For many families preparing for pregnancy who want to grasp the ovulation period more accurately, they can buy some ovulation test strips for testing. This way, they can grasp the ovulation period more accurately. After all, there are some symptoms of ovulation that some inexperienced people cannot grasp better.
