To work out your ovulation during irregular periods, check any discharge that comes from your vagina. If it’s clear and thin with the consistency of egg whites, this is a sign that you’re ovulating. You can also feel inside your cervix, which should be softer and more open than usual during ovulation. Another way to see if you’re ovulating is to take your body temperature first thing in the morning. If you do this every day, you’ll notice when your temperature drops, which is usually a sign of ovulation. Alternatively, use an ovulation test kit, which measures your hormones to tell you when you’re ovulating. For more tips from our Medical co-author, including how to keep an ovulation chart to keep track of your cycle, read on.
