The signs of ovulation can be any of the following, although many women may only notice one or two of these:
- Change in cervical fluid
- · Change in cervical position and cervical firmness
- · Brief twinge of pain or dull ache that is felt on one side of the abdomen
- · Light spotting
- · Increase in sex drive
- · Elevated level of the luteinizing hormone which can be detected on an ovulation test
- · Basal body temperature chart that shows a consistent change
- Breast tenderness
- · Abdominal bloating
Heightened sense of vision, smell, or taste.Can A Woman Ovulate More Than
Once During Each Cycle?
A woman cannot ovulate more than once during each cycle. Therefore, she cannot get pregnant more than once during a cycle. Multiple ovulation can occur and is when two or more eggs are released in a single cycle.
Both eggs are released during one 24 hour period and are responsible for the birth of fraternal twins. It is believed that this may occur in as many as 5-10% of all cycles but does not result in that many twins due to a type of miscarriage referred to as the “vanishing twin phenomenon.”

Can I Ovulate Without Having A Period?
Since a woman releases an egg 12-16 days before her expected period, it is possible for women to get pregnant without having periods. Women who are not menstruating due to a certain condition (i.e. low body weight, breastfeeding, perimenopause, etc…) risk the chance of getting pregnant because ovulation could start again at any point.
If you ovulate and do not start your period a couple weeks later, you may want to take a pregnancy test.
For those who want to conceive, the lack of periods could make it more difficult to know the timing of ovulation if you are not charting your basal temperature and cervical fluid changes. But if you are not having periods and wanting to prevent pregnancy, a form of contraception should be used since there is no way to know when ovulation will occur.
Can I Have A Period And Still Not Have Ovulated?
Having a period does not necessarily mean that ovulation has taken place. Some women may have what is called an anovulatory cycle, (meaning ovulation has not occurred). During an anovulatory cycle, women may experience some bleeding which may appear to be a period, although this is actually not a true period.

During an anovulatory cycle, women may experience some bleeding which may appear to be a period, although this is actually not a true period.
This bleeding is caused by either a buildup in the uterine lining that can no longer sustain itself or by a drop in estrogen. The main way to decipher if ovulation is in fact taking place is by tracking your basal body temperature.
