there are a few different ways, I usually get a sharp pain on my side. other ways are
Basil body temp, cervical mucus, counting days depending on your cycle length.
below is the change in cervical mucus through your cycle. if you don't have a lot of mucus then this may be difficult go by. there are a lot of things that can affect the amount of cervical mucus.

    Pre-Ovulation

    Following the menstrual period, there is a feeling of dryness. There will be no visible mucus. Gradually, more mucus will accumulate - yellow, cloudy, or white in color and sticky to the touch.

    Approaching Ovulation

    As you approach ovulation, your cervical mucus will increase. First, there will be a moistness or stickiness to the mucus, as well as a white or cream-colored appearance.

    During Ovulation

    At ovulation, the quantity of mucus will increase greatly and the appearance will resemble "egg whites", often semitransparent. The texture will become increasingly slippery and 'stretchable'. This is your most fertile time.

    Following Ovulation

    Following ovulation, the slippery quality of the cervical mucus will decrease and the mucus will become sticky and cloudier. Post-ovulatory dryness will also ensue.
