The tubal ligation reversal experts at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center recommend the following ways to know when you are about to ovulate.

• Use Ovulation Predictor Kits-these kits are very helpful for those who have irregular cycles or their cycles are returning to normal after tubal ligation reversal surgery. These come in different brands and are available at any drugstore usually near the pregnancy tests.
• Basil Body Temperature-this is a technique in which the body temperature is taken upon rising first thing every morning and then put on a chart. By following the temperature rise and falls a woman is able to tell impending ovulation and when ovulation has occurred. There are websites that are available to help with this a great one is FertilityFriend.com. This is a little harder for some to learn but after a few months you will begin to recognize your body’s rhythm.
