Sign 1: Mittelschmerz as a sign of ovulation
Mittelschmerz is one of the common symptoms of
ovulation but not a good sign. It is generally associated with small cysts on
the ovaries.

Mittelschmerz is also a post ovulation sign
which is helpful if you want to know if you are ovulating but not if you are
trying to conceive and looking for signs of ovulation for preconception.
Mittlelschmerz gets it name from the pain, a twangy kind of pain in the middle
of the cycle. While it is associated with ovulation it is an "after thought" to
ovulation.
The word mittelschmerz is German and has it roots from "mid-cycle pain". Many
may have felt this pain but never known what it was and actually some find
comfort understanding the reason for this twinge at ovulation time.
Sign 2: Basal Body Temperature as a sign of ovulation
Another sign of ovulation and even
pre-ovulation is found in monitoring basal body temperature. Basically, you roll
over in the morning, turn off the alarm and reach for the thermometer. By lying
still for the next couple minutes (until the electronic thermometer beep sounds)
you can track changes in the cycle by this "base line" temperature. Thus, it
gets it name basal body temperature.
Two things play in the role of monitoring
impending ovulation when taking basal body temperature:
The first sign that ovulation is possible is that temperatures "should" be lower
in the beginning of the cycle. This part is known as the follicular stage.
The follicular stage is named that because it is when follicles are maturing due
to the hormone FSH; follicle stimulating hormone. Makes sense; right? The reason
why basal temperatures are lower at this time is because estrogen too is on the
rise. When estrogen rises, temps lower.
While temps are low, ovulation has not happened.
Just before the egg releases there is one more surge of estrogen which usually
takes place. It is not guaranteed but most notice their temps making a dip and
then rise. This is a wonderful example of one can easily monitor ovulation is
taking place or more to the point, ovulation has just taken place. This surge
shoots the egg from the ovary and one has to hope that things like cervical
mucus and sperm are already in placement for all things to run smoothly from
this point onward.
The second stage of basal body temperatures follows that dip we just learned about. The dip then rises due to the release of the egg. As soon as the egg is released it begins to release luteinizing hormone which raises basal body temperature. When progesterone rises, temps rise.
Now each egg only gives off so much progesterone and that is why you will see temps drop again some time after ovulation when pregnancy has not occurred.
Though we recommend The Fertility Tracker above all other ovulation prediction devices and tests on this site, we also realize that sometimes it just seems to make sense to purchase ovulation test strips. They are cheap (in the short run but The Fertility Tracker is the better bargain over even a short time) and women are used to the pregnancy strips and therefore very popular for tracking ovulation.
Sign 3: Cervical Mucus
The change in cervical mucus is one of the oldest
known methods of tracking fertility, ie. ovulation. Because mucus is
produced when certain factors are present it is a good indicator that impending
ovulation is near. The rise of sodium in the body causes changes in the
alkalinity of the mucus. The right consistency and environment can make or
break a cycle. Watching for a change from non- existent, to creamy and
thick to stretchy and see through is the marking that ovulation is likely to
arrive and a healthy one at that. Even with cysts these signs can show but
usually these are good signs that ovulation is coming soon.

There is a term called spinbarkeit which means that the cervical fluid has a stretchy egg white kind of texture. The longer you can stretch your finger and thumb apart without breaking the "thread" the better!
