Signs of Ovulation: 7 Ways to Detect Ovulation

Monday June 30, 2008
Ovulation signs aren’t difficult to track, once you know what to look for. Some signs of ovulation can be noted before ovulation takes place (helping you time sex for pregnancy), while other ovulation signs come after the fact.

When you’re trying to get pregnant, tracking ovulation and timing sex for pregnancy can become a bit of an obsession. You’ve probably discovered at least one method of tracking ovulation, but is it the best one for you to use? Are you happy with what you know?

In this article, you’ll learn 7 different signs of ovulation. I give you a run down of their pros and cons, so you can decide if it’s worth looking into. (But I don’t suggest using them all! You’ll drive yourself nuts.)

In The Forums: Take Our Poll!

In the fertility forums this week, I’ve got a new poll that I’d love for you to vote on. In conversation with one of our forum members, the question of how frequently a couple should have sex if they want to get pregnant came up.

And so, inspired by that conversation, the poll question is… how often do you have sex? Please come vote, and leave a comment, too, if you like. We’d all love to hear your thoughts.
