Knowing when you are ovulating is important for women who are trying to conceive. Ovulation is the process of releasing an egg from the ovary. It typically occurs 14 days before the start of your period. There are a few different ways to check when you are ovulating.
One way to check for ovulation is to track your basal body temperature. Your basal body temperature is the lowest temperature your body reaches during sleep. It will rise slightly after ovulation. You can use a basal body thermometer to track your temperature each morning. If you see a sustained increase in your temperature, it is a sign that you have ovulated.
