Most women do not feel their egg release, also known as ovulation. This is because the process happens inside the body, and there are no nerve endings in the ovaries to send pain or sensation signals to the brain.
However, some women may experience subtle symptoms related to ovulation, such as:
- Mild cramping: This is often described as a dull ache or twinge in the lower abdomen, usually on one side.
- Increased cervical mucus: This mucus becomes clearer, more slippery, and more abundant in the days leading up to ovulation.
- Slight breast tenderness: This is due to hormonal changes and can be a common symptom.
- Increased libido: Some women report feeling more sexually aroused around the time of ovulation.
- Slight changes in body temperature: This is due to the rise in progesterone levels after ovulation.
It's important to note that these symptoms are not always present and can vary from woman to woman. If you're unsure about your ovulation cycle, you can track your cycle using ovulation predictor kits or apps.
Remember: If you experience any severe pain or unusual symptoms, it's always best to consult with your doctor.
