Step 1
Monitor your cervical fluid. Retrieve a sample of mucous from your vagina with toilet paper. The best time to examine your cervical mucous is after a bowel moment or exercise. Check to see if the mucous resembles an egg white. When your mucous appears long, thin, clear and stretchy, it is a sign of ovulation.

Step 2
Track your basal body temperature. Take your temperature every morning with a basal body temperature thermometer. Record your basal body temperature daily in a notebook. Notice your normal daily temperature. When your temperature rises slightly from your normal temperature, it is a sign of ovulation.

Step 3
Check the position of your cervix. Insert two dry, clean, fingers into your vagina. Push them up until you locate your cervix. When it is not your ovulation time, your cervix feels dry, hard and closed. When your cervix lifts, feels softer, moist and is slightly open, it is a sign of ovulation.

Step 4
Look for secondary symptoms. Many secondary symptoms occur when you ovulate. Some signs of ovulation include an increased sex drive, sensitive breasts and pains in your ovaries. When these symptoms occur simultaneously, it is a sign of ovulation.

on 9/20/2009 I realy don't know if I ever ovulated ever since I had my last child. That was in 1996. I have been trying to have a child every since my last child and have not been able. Could this be, because I was not ovulating, or was I and didn't know. Could I be ovulating and still not be able to have anymore children? I'm so confused. I'm about to start clomiphene in about 3 days I hope that this will work for me. I hope that I end up with 2. LOL
