Ovulating? Are There Other Ways to Find Out If You Do? Posted: 04-05-05 11:43am
I was wondering if there are other ways to
find out if you are ovulating and which
ones are the least hassle, but most
effective. You see, I have just got my
insurance so I plan to find a new obgyn
cuz mine is not cutting it. However, they
are probably gonna ask if I ovulate. My
old obgyn gave me this cgart and told me
that every day and every month for the
next few months I had to take my
temperature before rising and chart it. I
tried, but there are those days that you
wake up late or forget and you can't do it
after you rise to your feet or even pee in
the morning! This is so inconvenient, but
I would like to know if I ovulate before I
see the obgyn. Let me know! Thanks!
Still ttc,

Try an online ovulation predictor....You
can find one that you can record your
temperature in, your discharge, and
menstrual period lengths...

Ok I know that this is going to seem a
little graphic but there is one way to
tell if you are ovulating. If your
vaginal discarge looks clear and is
stringy like egg yoks then you are
ovulating. If your discharge look white
and is pastey then you are not. Opne way
to check the substance is to get a
signifigant amount on your thumb or index
finger and then touch the two fingers
togather. If your discharge is sticky and
acts like gum (stays stuck to both
fingers) then you are ovulating.

Using ovulation strips worked for me. I
suggest you buy them online cuz their so
muhc cheaper. I bought like 40 for 13
dollars which is a good deal. They work
just like pregnancy tests.. So just every
morning pee in a cup then insert the
little stick and within seconds you'll
either see one line (negative) or two
lines which means you are about to ovualte
in the next 12-24 hrs. They work very
good and are so much easier then doing the
temperature thing... Good luck
