Cervical mucus is released in large quantities during ovulation. When you ovulate, your cervical mucus tends to be clear, sticky, stretchy and has an egg-white-like consistency to it. It's the result of estrogen production which occurs around your ovulation days. Opting for [panty liners](/panty-liners) during these particular days is a great choice. If you are looking for one, try out the [Always Extra Protect Panty Liners](/panty-liners/always-extra-protect) which have absorbing and odour neutralising properties. They are equipped with extra length for added coverage. But as your fertile window closes i.e: your ovulation period is over, this mucus becomes thick and creamy. This is one of the symptoms that indicate you are not ovulating at the given time.

When the temperature reaches its peak, it's a sign that your ovulation has already occurred.

During your menstrual cycle, your cervix keeps changing positions. Before you ovulate it's higher and when you ovulate it becomes softer to touch and more open for the sperm to penetrate in. Once your cervix becomes harder, lower and more closed, that's how you get to know that ovulation is over.

Many women experience abdominal pain during their ovulation period. It's called "mittelschmerz" (middle pain) which feels like a twinge and lasts for a few minutes or for a few hours.
