What are the symptoms before ovulation? 5 obvious signs

For couples who are planning to have a baby, calculating the soft period accurately can greatly help increase the chances of pregnancy. A woman's ovulation period is the golden period for conception, which usually occurs half a month before the next menstrual period. Although calculating the date is a more common method, in addition to calculating the date, are there any symptoms before a woman's ovulation period that can be used as a reference?

1. Increased vaginal discharge

It is the most obvious manifestation of ovulation that women feel. In the first half of the menstrual cycle, vaginal secretions are less, viscous and opaque; as ovulation approaches, vaginal secretions gradually increase and become thin milky white; during ovulation, the amount of secretions increases significantly and becomes watery, transparent and clear. Women will feel their vulva is moist and slippery, and when wiping with toilet paper, there will be egg white-like strips of mucus. This vaginal discharge lasts for 2 to 3 days, and this period is the time when women are most likely to get pregnant.

2. Anal swelling or lower abdominal pain on one side

The mature egg is released from the surface of the ovary and breaks through the follicle that covers 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 will feel a slight feeling of falling in the anus, and may also feel slight pain in one side of the lower abdomen. These pains will disappear after about a few hours.

3. Ovulation 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.

4. Increased body temperature

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 change of body temperature from low to slightly high. Although some women do not test their basal body temperature, they will feel a slight fever in the half month after ovulation, especially in the afternoon, and the fever will disappear after the menstruation comes.

5. 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 that they want to get pregnant have reached their highest level.
