Women's Fertility Health: When it comes to fertility, most people think of tests or periods. But let's also tell you about five other symptoms.

Signs of female fertility

Natural Signs Your Body Is Ready For Pregnancy: When it comes to fertility, most discussions are limited to tests, treatments, or regular periods. But the truth is that our bodies often give us subtle signals that our reproductive system is functioning properly. These signals are so subtle that women often ignore them or mistake them for signs of a problem. In reality, these changes are part of the body's natural fertility rhythm. Let's take a look at five important signs that indicate your body is fertile.

Sudden energy surges between cycles

Many women suddenly feel more energy during their menstrual cycle. This isn't just a good day, but could be a sign of ovulation. Hormones like estrogen are at their peak during this time, preparing the body for pregnancy. Feeling more active, focused, or social can also be part of this fertile phase.

Feeling slightly warm at night

After ovulation, the body's basal temperature rises slightly. This change is often felt as a slight warmth upon waking in the morning or at night. Women often attribute this to the weather or fatigue, but it can be a reliable indicator of the body's fertile window.

Mild pain or pulling in the lower abdomen

Apart from your period, a mild pain or a nagging sensation in your lower abdomen between cycles can also be associated with ovulation. This is medically known as mittelschmerz. This occurs when an egg is released from the ovary and is often mistaken for minor gas or stomach pain.

Natural Changes in Cervical Mucus

Around ovulation, cervical fluid becomes more slippery and stretchy, which helps sperm move through. Many women mistake this for an infection or imbalance, but it's actually one of the most natural and powerful signs of fertility.

Regular and balanced periods

Not only does your period arrive on time, but its flow and pain levels also tell a story about fertility. If your periods aren't too painful or unusually heavy and are regular, it's a sign that hormonal balance is healthy and ovulation is occurring properly.

What do experts say?

According to Dr. Amrita Gupta, Senior Consultant, Obstetrics and Gynecology, at a private hospital in Chandigarh, understanding fertility isn't always easy. Many signs seem so common that women ignore them, considering them a part of everyday life.
