If you have irregulare cycles there is no way to know when you will ovulate. You would be well of to start taking BBT's (basal body temperatures) and doing OPK's (ovulation predictor test kits) regularly. Even with "normal" cycles, you have to do these things for several months to get a good handle on when you ovulate. Especially with irregular cycles, you will need to do these things to see ovulation coming, and be sure on it looking back.

As a GENERAL rule, you can take the first day of your period, count backwards 14 days, and that is the day you ovulated. SO: If you started your AF on 5/23, then you PROBABLY ovulated on 5/9..... but that is a general rule and does not apply to everyone. Plus, this is not the same each cycle. THe number of days between the first day of your AF and the day you ovulate is usually what varies from month to month with irregular cycles, and it can vary by alot.
