Turns out nature does know what it’s doing (sometimes, anyway). If you are feeling frisky, it could be because you are ovulating. Women often notice an increased sex drive around ovulation. This libido boost comes a couple days before you ovulate, which is the right time to have sex if you want to get pregnant.

Pros Of Using This Method To Detect Ovulation

• Doesn’t require any know-how. Just being in tune with your feelings.

• Worse comes to worse, if you have sex and you weren’t about to ovulate, you still (hopefully) had a nice time with your partner.

Cons Of Using This Method To Detect Ovulation

• The stress of trying to conceive can squash sexual feelings. Also, depression or anxiety, common in couples coping with infertility, can lower sexual desire.

• It’s not a definite sign of ovulation. You may notice an increase in sexual desire at any time in your cycle, including right before your period.
