subject: How can Women Monitor their Cycles and Determine when Ovulation Occurs? [print this page] Keeping a diary of menstruation and ovulation symptoms is an ideal way for a woman to monitor the phases of her cycle. There are books and online calendars that make this clear and easy, requiring just a small amount of data.
Other ways of monitoring the menstrual cycle include plotting basal body temperature (which lowers just prior to ovulation), and checking the consistency of cervical mucus and the position of the cervix, both of which change during certain times of the month. Home ovulation kits are also available. These are kits that indicate when ovulation is occurring by measuring hormone levels present in the urine.
