Symptoms of ovulation

What is ovulation?

Ovulation refers to the time in a woman's menstrual cycle when egg cells mature and are released. It usually occurs between days 14 and 17 of a woman's menstrual cycle, but the exact date will vary from person to person. During this time, a woman's body temperature will rise and she may experience a range of symptoms.

Symptoms of ovulation

1. Increase in body temperature

During ovulation, a woman's body temperature usually rises by 0.5 to 1 degree Celsius. This is the body's way of preparing for the release of the egg. If women do not plan to have children during this period, their body temperature may increase more significantly.

2. Increased sexual desire

During ovulation, a woman's sexual desire may increase. This is because hormonal levels in the body change, making them crave sex more.

3. Increased vaginal secretion

During ovulation, a woman's vaginal secretions increase and she may shed some fluid. This liquid is usually colorless or pale yellow and may have some fragrance.

4. Appetite changes

During ovulation, a woman's appetite may change. They may feel hungrier and may eat less other foods.

5. Mental happiness

During ovulation, women may feel more pleasurable and relaxed. This is due to changes in hormonal levels in the body, making them more confident and comfortable.

Symptoms of ovulation vary from person to person. Some women may not have any symptoms, while others may feel some mild discomfort. If women are planning to have children during this period, it is recommended that their doctors watch for symptoms and guide them on appropriate monitoring and treatment.
