Sometimes, doctors like to perform an ultrasound to rule out any other
possible causes of pain. If you do not feel any sharp pain when
ovulating, it is not a problem. If you do feel pain, the good news is that the prognosis of possible
pregnancy is good.
Cervical Mucus
Cervical mucus is often evaluated during the monitoring
of a basal temperature chart. It helps determine if the mucus
environment is good for sperm survival and swimming. The mucus
changes throughout the cycle. Sometimes it is described as dry,
milky, egg white or sticky. Around the time of ovulation, it is
clear and sometimes stretchy. This is often referred to as
spinbarkeit.
Temperature Increase
As the result of ovulation, progesterone levels increase
which help prepare the lining of the uterus, where a possible
pregnancy will survive. Progesterone is a hormone that increases
basal body temperature. Most women cannot detect the increase in
temperature.
