If you have irregular cycles and want to know how to figure out when you’re ovulating - this is for you.
If you’re using tools like apps and OPK tests and still can’t figure out when your fertile window is, none of it makes sense, and you’re looking at all of this data and you cannot discern when you’re ovulating, what do you do?
There are signs your body will give you that can be helpful:
1. Around your ovulation window, you should experience an increase in your libido.
2. You should also experience a change in your cervical fluid. When you are close to ovulation, your cervical fluid becomes slippery and stretchy, like raw egg white, because that is what allows the s***m to get where it needs to go.
3. You also may notice things like an increase in energy
4. Some people also experience something called mittelschmerz, which is a little bit of pinching pain or mild cramping that happens right around the time that you ovulate.
For most people, it is best to use multiple methods to determine ovulation - so use an aura ring and use the OPK strips.
But also keep track of the physical symptoms that your body is giving you that tell you.
As you start to notice the symptoms, the patterns, the trends that happen within your own body, you can verify those results by doing something like an OPK test so that you know that what you’re noticing is accurate. It’s your body telling you that you are fertile.
You also can bring all of that data to someone like me. It is my job to help you understand what’s going on in your body and help you decipher all of these things so that you don’t have to miss another month of fertility.
