Human: I'm trying to get pregnant. What should I know about ovulation? Assistant: 
Ovulation is the release of an egg from a woman's ovary, and it typically occurs 14 days before your next period. It can be difficult for women to predict when they will ovulate because it varies from month to month. You can track your fertility signs by using home ovulation kits or charting your cervical mucus changes each day. Additionally, you may notice other physical symptoms such as breast tenderness or headaches that could indicate that you are ovulating.
