It is typical for some women to suffer from pain in the middle part of their abdomen each time they ovulate. The painful area is usually located near their ovaries. Moreover, the slight discomfort may begin during their mid-cycle, which is often during ovulation. It can also vary in terms of intensity since there are pains that may be mild and tolerable while others may feel severe pain.

There are also those who refer to their basal temperature chart to check if they are ovulating or not. Your basal temperature is usually higher as compared to those days when you are not ovulating. In addition, the quality of cervical mucus changes when you ovulate since it tends to be slippery just like the consistency of egg whites.
