Signs of onset of ovulation is easy to recognize yourself. It is enough to know only a few features of the first and second phases of the menstrual cycle, and also be able to listen to yourself. If your cycle is fairly constant and there are no hormonal disorders, then the accuracy of determining ovulation for excreta is up to 90%.
How to determine ovulation for excreta?
In order to determine ovulation, it is only necessary to know what the secretions are at this or that moment of the cycle. Immediately after the end of menstruation, usually within a few days, the woman does not notice any secretions from the genital tract. However, closer to the middle of the cycle, the discharge becomes more abundant, first liquid, and then sticky. This is due to the change in the level of hormones in the body, as well as the gradual opening of the cervix.
Allocations on the day of ovulation acquire the character of viscid mucus, which can be released by large lumps. This mucus creates in the genital tract conditions suitable for the rapid advancement of spermatozoa to the egg, and therefore is called fertile. Slime can be white or yellowish-brown in color, as well as pink veins. Immediately after ovulation is over, the mucus is eliminated, and as a rule, women do not notice any discharge until the end of the cycle.
The definition of ovulation for excreta has a fairly high accuracy, if a woman knows exactly how to distinguish the discharge of one phase from another, and closely watches the secretions throughout the cycle.
Additional signs of ovulation
Signs that complement the nature of discharge during ovulation can be called the appearance of small bloody discharge, which are associated with a sharp jump in hormones, as well as tingling or drawing pains from the side, in the ovary where ovulation occurs. You can also determine the fact of ovulation with the help of special tests (for saliva and urine), and daily measuring basal temperature. The combination of these methods provides a guarantee that you correctly identify the onset of ovulation.
Is there ovulation without discharge?
The hormonal background of a woman is unstable, from cycle to cycle, as a result of internal or even external causes, such as stress or diet, there may be abnormalities. In addition, 1-2 menstrual cycles per year can take place without ovulation. Therefore, it often happens that during the whole cycle the woman does not notice the changes in discharge. There is also ovulation without pronounced excretions in the middle of the cycle.
