Q: Ovulating? Are There Other Ways to Find Out If You Do?

I was wondering if there are other ways to find out if you are ovulating and which ones are the least hassle, but most effective. You see, I have just got my insurance so I plan to find a new obgyn cuz mine is not cutting it. However, they are probably gonna ask if I ovulate. My old obgyn gave me this cgart and told me that every day and every month for the next few months I had to take my temperature before rising and chart it. I tried, but there are those days that you wake up late or forget and you can't do it after you rise to your feet or even pee in the morning! This is so inconvenient, but I would like to know if I ovulate before I see the obgyn. Let me know! Thanks!

Still ttc,

You could try one of the ovulation kits at the drugstore. I think clear blue easy makes one...They're all pretty reliable.

Ovulite. A womans spit dries into a ferny pattern when she is ovulating. The kit is $40 but reuseable. Read taking charge of your fertility for help with your bodys fertility signs, such as checking cervical mucous, etc. There are quite a few ways to chart, by date of last period, cervical mucous, temperature, and ovulite's ferning patterns. If you do one at a time its like throwing a dart in the dark. But if you use 'em all, you are sure to hit your mark!
