Hi i would say 14 days counting from the first day of your last period. Do you usually have ovulation signs and do you notice them. x

Hi If your first day of your last period was on the 10th Dec your most fertilist time will be 24th December. However some ladies can ovulate eariar or later, Id try ovulation kits as well. Keep me posted x

I agree, ovulation predictor kits work great! As a general rule, the last day of your stretchy cervical mucus is your most fertile day. And ovulation cramps, of course, is another good indicator!

It's hard to calculate your ovulation day based on your cycles, since you may not have the "perfect" 28 day cycle. In a "normal" 28 day cycle, you would ovulate on day 14...or 2 weeks before your next period was due. in your case, with a 26 day cycle, it would be day 12. However, women do not always have a 14 day luteal phase. It can vary from 10 to 16 days. So your best bet is to either use OPKs or just have intercourse every other day to cover your bases :-) Good luck!
