Whether you\u2019re trying to conceive or merely want to get to know your body\u2019s signs of ovulation, these indicators, including at-home and OTC tests, can help you predict when you\u2019re going to ovulate.<\/p>\n

Basal body temperature monitoring<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your basal body temperature is the temperature of your body at rest. At the beginning of your cycle, basal body temperature remains fairly consistent and as you get closer to ovulation, there\u2019s a slight dip in basal body temperature followed by a sharp increase just after ovulation.<\/p>\n

One of the ways to determine when and if ovulation happened is to track your basal body temperature over a series of months. Take your temperature with a digital thermometer designed for a basal body (you can get one online or at the drugstore) as soon as you wake up, even before you get out of bed, and jot down the reading every morning. You can find out more here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Menstrual charting<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is another simple and cost-effective way to track ovulation. Record the days your period begins and ends for several months. If you have normal menstrual cycles (between 25 and 35 days) you\u2019re likely to be ovulating regularly, with ovulation occurring about 14 days before menstruation.<\/p>\n

Ovulation kit<\/strong><\/p>\n

OTC ovulation predictor kits measure your levels of luteinizing hormone (LH), which can be detected in your urine. These kits work because ovulation typically hits about 10 to 12 hours after LH peaks on day 14 to 15 of the menstrual cycle if your cycle is 28 days long. Your LH concentration should stay elevated for 14 to 27 hours to allow for full maturation of the egg. If you are wondering how to use test kits, click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Fertility monitor<\/strong><\/p>\n

While an ovulation predictor kit can identify when ovulation is expected to occur (giving you 24 hours for possible conception), a fertility monitor can identify your five most fertile days. The monitor measures LH and estrogen levels to identify your two peak fertile days, plus the one to five fertile days leading up to them.<\/p>\n
