Finding out your ovulation dates increase your chances of conceiving greatly. Every month, during ovulation, a woman’s body goes through certain changes. In some women these signs are very distinct, while in others they are negligible. The most ideal way to calculate your ovulation dates is by using an ovulation calculator.

What is Ovulation?

Ovulation is the process by which an ovum, or egg is released during a females menstrual cycle. This egg is ready to receive a sperm and create a zygote which is then ready to be planted in a female’s uterus. Basically ovulation is the period around which a woman is most fertile and can get pregnant easily compared to other periods in her menstrual cycle. The time that surrounds ovulation is known as the “ovulatory phase” of a woman’s menstrual cycle.

Are There any Signs or Symptoms of Ovulation?

In almost all women, ovulation is usually an asymptomatic process. Humans as compared to other animals have a “concealed ovulation” with no exaggerated signs that other animals have. Most women do feel a slight increase in their vaginal discharge, slight cramping in their mid section (ovulation pain), and an increase in sexual desire. Since these signs are not very obvious, most women don’t even know that they are ovulating, which is why using an ovulation calculator is best in determining your ovulation dates.
