What are the symptoms of impending ovulation?

When it comes to ovulation, women often experience some symptoms. If a woman wants to get pregnant in the near future, she should actively prepare for pregnancy at this time. She should understand some symptoms when ovulation is approaching, such as a drop in basal body temperature, an increase in vaginal secretions, increased sexual desire, ovulation pain, etc. Let's take a look at this aspect.

What are the symptoms of impending ovulation?

1. The basal body temperature drops. When the ovulation period arrives, the basal body temperature will rise, but on the ovulation day, the female body temperature will suddenly drop, and then on the next day, the body temperature will rise again. The change in basal body temperature can be used to determine the ovulation day, so as to plan the time of sexual intercourse and increase the chance of conception.

2. Increased cervical mucus secretion. On the day of ovulation, women will observe that the cervical mucus is very thin and translucent, and the secretion volume is also large. In the first half of the menstrual cycle, the cervix does not secrete mucus and the vulva is very dry. After this, the cervix secretes a small amount of thick, opaque mucus. Just before ovulation occurs, with the appearance of estrogen, luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion reaches its peak, and the cervical mucus becomes thinner, transparent, and clear, and the amount also increases. Ovulation day symptoms are more obvious at this point.

3. Ovulation pain. Ovulation pain varies from person to person. Some women are unaware of the pain of ovulation, while some women experience more obvious abdominal pain on the day of ovulation, which is very easy to detect. Therefore, it is necessary to judge based on the specific physical condition of the woman.

Things to note during ovulation

1. Pay attention to personal hygiene: Have your own towel, especially during ovulation period, do not use other people's towels to prevent infection. Wash your private parts with running water in the shower.

2. Clean the lower part: After each defecation, it is best to develop a habit of washing with warm water to prevent intestinal bacteria from taking the opportunity to enter the vagina and cause inflammation.
