Interesting info about ovulation

Don't know how useful this is (unless you have ovarian problems on one side, which I'm sure is the case for some people) but I thought it was fascinating.

Apparently, during the fertile window the vulva swells on the side that you are about to ovulate on! Also, the lymph node at the top of the leg on that side swells and can be felt as a pea-sized lump and becomes tender near ovulation.

Here's the link if you want more info: http://www.woomb.org/bom/lit/teach/reprodhealth.html

I am on cd11 and have definite swelling of both the vulva and the lymph node on my right side, although the lymph node doesn't feel tender as yet.
