The 'ovulation pills" are clomid and femara.  I way preferred femara, as it didnt have the same side effects as clomid and I am now pregnant after using it.

Ask your doctor about these.  Femara can make you ovulate earlier than usual (1 - 2 days earlier)

Yes, they work.  Both are taken for 5 days early in your cycle.  I took mine from day 2 - 6.  Others take them Day 3 - 7 or day 4 - 8,  All depends on the doctor's protocol.

Hi Heather5, sometimes though you could ovulate a lot earlier than the average 14 days, or later, everyone is very different.  Ovulation predictor kits are a good way of figuring out your ovulation dates, start using them the day after your period finishes and keep going until it shows your LH surge, you then have about 12-36 hours from that point for babymaking.  If you don't want to go down that route, you could keep an eye out for a kind clear discharge or it sometimes looks like egg white during ovulation.  Sore ovaries is another sign but usually by the time you feel that, you have missed your window for ovulation.  

I started clomid on September 1 (days 5 through 9) and didn't ovulate till September 15 (clomid can delay ovulation) so am just waiting now to see if it worked it's magic.

Hope you can figure out your dates, let me know how you get along. Best of luck!

Do you mean pills like clomid? If so, then yes, they usually do help women who normally don't ovulate on their own ovulate. It is also sometimes used in women who do ovulate to help increase their chances.

As for when you ovulate, that depends on how long your cycles are. In general, in a "normal" 28-day cycle, you usually ovulate on day 14, give or take a day or two.
