What are the best ways to figure out when you are ovulating?

I have tried an OKP and an online calender to get a general idea but what is really the best and most accurate way of determining ovulation? I would like to know the 2 or 3 best ways to determine it?What are the best ways to figure out when you are ovulating?
Don't use online calendars. They go by an 'average' that you may not fit into whatsoever.





The best ways, in order, are as follows:





1.) Tracking your basal body temperature. While this cannot tell you beforehand when you will ovulate, it is the only way that you can confirm ovulation! Any other method cannot prove that you did, indeed, ovulate. After two or three cycles of tracking your BBT, you should have a good idea which day of your cycle that you ovulate. I track mine at http://www.fertilityfriend.com. It's amazing! They have lessons and a FAQ to get you started. I'm sorry I didn't start two years ago.





2.) Getting to know your body. Observing changes in your cervical mucus and position can be greatly beneficial in determining when you are fertile during your cycle. Each day, take note of your cervical mucus, either on your panties, or by collecting it internally. Since my cervical mucus is scant, I reach two fingers up inside of my vagina and gently pinch my cervix. If the mucus is clear, slippery, and stretchy (like eggwhites), it is fertile and you should be having sex that day in order to have the best chances of conception. If it is dry, sticky, or creamy, you are probably not fertile.





You should check the position of your cervix at the same time every day, as it can change throughout the day. If it is soft, high, open, and wet, you are probably fertile. If it is low, hard, firm, and dry, you are probably not. A good position to check your cervix in is to part your feet so there is about a foot of space between them, and squat all the way down. Insert one or two fingers in the vagina, and feel up and towards your back for your cervix. It will probably take a cycle or two to get to know your body.





3.) An OPK. When you get a positive OPK, that is an indication that you SHOULD ovulate within the next 24-48 hours. However, that doesn't always happen. Stress or illness can delay ovulation even after a positive OPK. Like I mentioned before, the only way to confirm it did happen is through a thermal shift in your basal body temperature.What are the best ways to figure out when you are ovulating?
If you have a somewhat regular cycle the best way is to get a basal thermometer. You take your temp before getting out of bed every morning and chart it. The DR will want you to do this for 2 months before getting an idea of when you can expect ovulation. The thing is, is that when your temp goes up this means you have just ovulated so you must time sex before your expected temp rise each month. I would chart my temp and by some ovulation prediction kits just to make sure. You can chart your temp get a general idea of the right timing (before your expected temp rise) use the ovulation predictor sticks to back up your assumed ovulation time. Good Luck
hi hun they say the ovulation monitor is a accurate one or if you get the egg white stretchy stuff and the other is ovulation cramps hun i hope this helped hugs and babydust to you hun xx
