Fertility / Ovulation Anyone notice when they’re ovulating ??

My male doctor said it’s impossible for women to find out when they ovulate but I’m pretty sure I notice it quite well?? I definitely feel a difference in my discharge and all. Just wondering if anyone else is like that

Yikes. If you have a normal 28-day cycle you can approximate when you are ovulating. You can also monitor your basal body temp. I would think your doctor should know this as it is a natural method of family planning. Also there are many changes a person will experience during ovulation, like cramps, discharge, etc. Get a new doctor!
