Your baby has not been conceived yet. Inside your ovaries, one follicle is becoming dominant and growing rapidly, preparing to release a mature egg. The uterine lining is thickening with blood and nutrients, creating the perfect environment for a fertilised egg to implant.
Oestrogen levels are rising, which thickens the uterine lining and triggers a surge of luteinising hormone (LH). You may notice changes in cervical mucus - it becomes clearer, more slippery, and stretchy as ovulation approaches. Some people feel a twinge of pain on one side (mittelschmerz) when the egg is released.
The most fertile days are the 2-3 days leading up to ovulation and the day of ovulation itself. Having sex every 2-3 days throughout the month gives you the best chance without needing to time things precisely.
Signs include clear stretchy cervical mucus, a slight rise in basal body temperature, mild pelvic discomfort, and increased libido. Ovulation prediction kits detect the LH surge 24-36 hours before ovulation.
