Can i feel ovulation?

Can i feel ovulation?

Can one feel ovulation?

  • One may experience lower abdominal discomfort
  • Changes in cervical mucus
  • Slight rise in body temperature

Lower abdominal discomfort is known as "mittelschmerz." - lasts from a few minutes to a few hours. 20% of women feel this sensation of discomfort or pain. This sensation is felt felt as the egg leaves the ovary.

A few days before ovulation, cervical mucous becomes clear, slippery, and stretchy like raw egg whites.

Right after ovulation, one's body temperature can increase by 0.4 to 1.0 degrees.
