Why do I always ovulate on one side?

It is well known that every normal woman has two ovaries. Because of infertility or irregular menstruation, after monitoring ovarian ovulation for several consecutive months, it was found that only one ovary ovulated every month, and the other side ovulated in the next month, forming a fixed pattern. What is the specific reason for this? This article will introduce it to you, let’s take a look.

Only one side will ovulate every month, and it will usually switch to the other side next month. Some people will ovulate on one side continuously and then switch to the other side. Don't worry, it's normal. Only a few people will ovulate twice a month.

What are the symptoms of female ovulation?

[Anal swelling or lower abdominal pain on one side]

When a mature egg is discharged from the surface of the ovary, it will break through a thin membrane follicle on the surface of the egg. A small amount of fluid in the follicle will flow into the pelvic cavity. Women will feel a slight feeling of falling in the anus and slight pain in one side of the lower abdomen.

【Ovulation bleeding】

Due to the fluctuation of estrogen secretion in the body before and after ovulation, a small amount of uterine bleeding may occur. If you have sex at this time, you will find some bleeding symptoms afterwards. This is ovulation bleeding. You don’t need to worry too much. It is a normal phenomenon.

[Body temperature rises]

During the ovulation period, a woman's body temperature rises slightly after ovulation. If you can measure your basal body temperature every morning, you can find out your ovulation date based on the changes in body temperature.

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 a mate rather than finding food.

2. Being 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. Decreased resistance: During ovulation, women's vaginal mucus becomes thinner, which allows sperm to pass more easily and increases the chance of successful conception. At the same time, women's nasal mucus also decreases, which increases the chance of bacteria invading the human circulatory system.

4. A small amount of uterine bleeding: Since the ovaries not only have the function of ovulation, but also control the secretion of female endocrine hormones, the fluctuation of estrogen secretion in the body before and after ovulation will cause a small amount of uterine bleeding, which is called ovulation bleeding. This is another sign of ovulation, which some women may mistake for menstrual irregularities.

5. Mild pain in one side of the lower abdomen: The mature egg is discharged from the surface of the ovary and has to break through the follicle that wraps the surface of the egg. When the egg is released, a small amount of fluid in the follicle will flow into the lowest part of the pelvic cavity; sometimes there will be a small amount of bleeding at the site where the egg is released from the ovary during female ovulation. Therefore, some women during ovulation may feel a slight falling sensation in the anus, and may also feel slight pain in one side of the lower abdomen. If you pay close attention, the same female ovulation symptoms will appear in the other lower abdomen next month, and these painful female ovulation symptoms will disappear after about a few hours.

6. Changes in body temperature: After ovulation, the secretion of progesterone causes the body temperature to rise slightly. If you can measure your basal body temperature every morning, you can find out your ovulation date based on the change in body temperature from low to slightly high.

7. Increased sexual desire: Generally speaking, women’s sexual desire will be particularly strong during their ovulation period, which is a reflection of the fact that women’s body signals of wanting to get pregnant have reached their highest value.

8. Slight fever in the afternoon: Although some people have not tested their basal body temperature, they will feel a little fever in the half month after ovulation, especially in the afternoon, and the fever will go away after the menstruation comes.

9. Breast swelling or pain: Many women also experience breast swelling or nipple pain during ovulation. Sometimes the nipples are almost unable to be touched. The breast symptoms may also continue until the eve of the next menstrual period.

10. Changes in vaginal secretions: The most obvious sign that a woman feels when she is ovulating is the change in vaginal secretions. Female ovulation symptoms: In the first half of the menstrual cycle, the vaginal discharge is small, sticky and opaque; as the ovulation period approaches, the vaginal discharge gradually increases and is thin and milky white; during the ovulation period, the amount of discharge increases significantly and is watery, transparent and clear. Women will feel their genitals are wet and slippery, and there will be egg white-like strips of mucus when wiping with toilet paper. Symptoms of female ovulation: This vaginal discharge lasts for 2 to 3 days, and this period is the time when women are most likely to get pregnant.
