Some women experience symptoms with ovulation while others never notice it at all. Bloating, cramping, craving, all the typical signs of PMS can be signs of ovulation also. If it continues for the next month or so, call you physician so that any cysts can be ruled out.
Sometimes we are lucky enough to get a period and not have the bloating and cramping associated with it. If you are bleeding and it's time for you to have your period then it is your period.
You can also cramp during ovulation.
The egg of a woman matures between the 10th or 14th day past the first day of their menstrual period. And when your egg matures it means your ovulating. For a woman who has a 28 day cycle ovulation usually occurs on the 14th day after the menstrual period started. For those who have shorter menstrual cycle like 25 days their ovulation period would normally fall on the 11th cycle day.On the other hand for those who have a longer menstrual cycle like 31 days, their ovulation time will be on the 17th day after the start of their last menstrual period.
See an OBGYN.
what i mean is, have those symptoms before and during period, but not all the time.
There are many indicators of ovulation, but no real way to know that you are indeed ovulating unless you test for ovulation. (I'd also like to note some women do have double ovulation.) Change in discharge (egg white like), change in body temp (very slight), and sometimes cramping could be all indicators of ovulation.
Take a test
You need to have a monthly cycle to track ovulation by dates, otherwise you need to learn other signs of ovulation like changes in cervical mucus. See info at link.
For the majority of women, ovulation starts every 23 to 35 days but this can be delayed due to environmental factors such as stress. Ovulation pain is one of the common symptoms of ovulation and is felt as a pain around the lower abdomen. A drop in body temperature is also noticed during ovulation and a normal increase is faced after ovulation. The cervical mucus will also be watery like a raw egg-white during this period, these symptoms are all normal symptoms to face during the period of ovulation.
Mood swings, sore breasts, upset stomach, diarrhoea, periodpain-like ache, being emotional, bloating.
Throughout your menstrual cycle hormonal changes will change your discharge. Around a week leading up to ovulation (ovulation occurs two weeks before your period) you will get fertile quality cervical mucus which is a stretchy gooey discharge like egg-whites. After ovulation your discharge can get heavier, thicker, and more lotion-like which may make you feel more 'moist'.
Ovulation occurs 14 days BEFORE your period. Unless you use fertility awareness method you can't know when you are fertile or ovulating, guessing fertile days like this is unreliable and if trying to avoid pregnancy it will fail.
