As a woman, you should know your body well. There are some things you should always be cautious about. Firstly, your period date and this changes every month, when you are fertile, your ovulation period and all the other stages of menstrual cycle. But, the most important are the period date and ovulation period.
The ovulation period is marked by the cervical mucus. It undergoes some changes. It becomes clearer, slippery and thinner. This helps the sperm to move better in the body. This is the time when a woman is the most fertile.
Monitor your Basal Body Temperature. This may shift as your body also shifts from one stage to another. When the BBT is slightly higher than normal, this would mean that a woman can conceive.
Ovulation pain is also real. It happens to some women. Typically, one side of the lower part of the abdomen might hurt for some women. This is normal.
When it is time for the female body to conceive a child, their libido will automatically rise. This is simply a biological way to ensure successful conception.
In case you are really confused about your menstrual cycle timeline, there are over-the-counter kits available. These can detect when you are ovulating.
