What Are the Symptoms of Bloating During Ovulation?

First of all, let’s define what is ovulation. Ovulation is the release of an egg from the ovaries, which may or may not be fertilized by sperm. If fertilized, the egg will travel to the uterus and implant to develop into a pregnancy. However, if left unfertilized, the egg will disintegrate. Having a knowledge of ovulation can help a woman to achieve or to prevent pregnancy.

Symptoms of Bloating During Ovulation

During ovulation, you may gain some weight due to fuller breasts and fluid retention in your belly. This weight gain is temporary and will go away after your period starts. You might crave salty foods like chips, cheese and processed foods during ovulation. Eating a lot of these salty foods can cause bloating and weight gain.
 
Apart from bloating, you may experience other symptoms and signs of ovulation that include:


  • Your vaginal discharge may increase and appear clear, stretchy, and wet. It may be present in your underwear or you may notice it while wiping after using the washroom.
  • Changes in basal body temperature (BBT): this temperature may rise slightly after ovulation. A woman can check her BBT using a thermometer at the same time each morning.
  • The cervix changes position at ovulation, becoming softer, higher, open and wet. However, you may have trouble identifying the position of the cervix without practice. To ensure that you notice these changes in your cervix, check it regularly.
