You will experience changes in your vagina mucus. It will be clear, slippery and have texture of an egg white.

Awareness of this temperature will aid in figuring out the ovulation pattern for the next month.
Besides getting the timing right, monitoring the ovulation cycle has other benefits too. Let's list them out.
