What are the symptoms before ovulation?

1. Increase in body temperature

Before ovulation, a woman's body temperature rises. Typically, the duration of elevated body temperature is 1-2 days, but it may be shorter or longer. During periods of increased body temperature, women may feel more energetic, physically lighter, and may be more willing to engage in outdoor activities.

2. Increased appetite

Before ovulation, a woman's appetite may increase. They may feel hungrier and crave high-calorie, high-fat foods. This may be because the body is preparing for fertility so that nutrients and energy are delivered to the reproductive organs.

3. Increased sexual desire

Before ovulation, a woman's sexual desire may increase. They may feel more aroused and sensitive, making it easier for them to have sex with their partner. This may be due to the body preparing for fertility so that nutrients and energy are delivered to the reproductive organs.

4. Increased vaginal discharge

Before ovulation, a woman may have an increase in vaginal discharge. They may feel moister and softer, making it easier to have sex. This may be due to the body preparing for fertility by transporting nutrients and sperm to the reproductive organs.

5. Headache and dizziness

Some people may experience headaches and dizziness before ovulation. This may be due to the body adjusting body temperature and hormone levels, leading to neurological adaptations. However, the symptoms are usually mild and unlikely to interfere with daily life.

Although these symptoms may not be obvious, they may appear before ovulation. If you find yourself experiencing these symptoms, you may want to consider getting some tests to make sure you're eligible to have children. If you are waiting to have a baby, you may consider monitoring and treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
