There are several methods to track the fertile window:
Basal Body Temperature (BBT): Charting your BBT every morning can help identify the slight temperature increase that occurs after ovulation. Cervical Mucus: Observing changes in cervical mucus can indicate approaching ovulation. Fertile mucus is typically clear, stretchy, and resembles egg whites. Ovulation Predictor Kits (OPKs): These kits detect the surge in luteinizing hormone (LH) that occurs 24-36 hours before ovulation. Calendar Method: By tracking menstrual cycles over several months, you can estimate when ovulation is likely to occur.
