What is ovulation?

• Ovulation is the point in your menstrual cycle at
  which a mature egg is released from the ovary,
  thus setting the stage for fertilization. During
  ovulation, the egg travels down the fallopian
  tube, where it may meet up with a sperm and get
  fertilized. For most healthy women, ovulation
  generally happens once a month and a few weeks
  after menstruation begins.

When are you fertile?

• You are fertile for the five days leading up to
  ovulation, apart from the day of ovulation
  itself. You are most fertile two days prior to
  ovulation. You have a better chance of conceiving
  in these two days than you do on the day of
  ovulation itself.

Signs and symptoms of ovulation

• 1. Changes in body temperature As you get closer
  to ovulation, theres a slight dip in the basal
  body temperature followed by a sharp increase,
  typically of about 0.4 to 1.0 degrees, just after
  ovulation.

• 2. Ovulation pain or mittelschmerz - The most
  uncomfortable ovulation symptom for some women is
  ovulation pain or mittelschmerz, a German word
  meaning mid (mittel) pain (schmerz). Ovulation
  for these women causes a sudden and constant pain
  in their lower abdomen.
• 3. Heightened sense of smell For some women, a
  more sensitive sense of smell in the latter half
  of a normal enstruation cycle can signal
  ovulation.

• Cervical mucus - Observing your cervical mucus
  regularly is important, as it is one of the more
  reliable ovulation symptoms. Your mucus changes
  in response to the different stages of fertility
  in your cycle.
• Nausea and Headaches While not everyone has
  these symptoms, some women may experience
  headaches or nausea during ovulation because of
  the sharp and rapid changes in their sex hormone
  levels. For women with good hormonal balance,
  these unpleasant symptoms arent as likely.
