The best way to know when you’re ovulating is to take steps to pinpoint your fertile and ovulation windows, which we’ll get to in the next section. But you may also experience one or more of the following ovulation symptoms:
Heightened sense of smell
Breast soreness and tenderness
Mild cramping
Light spotting or discharge
Increased sex drive
Changes in the position and firmness of your cervix
During ovulation, your cervix rises to the top of your vagina and becomes softer and moister. This makes it easier for sperm to travel through your cervix and into your uterus.
