In my opinion, it would be around the 10th, so it's not too far off from the other calculations. Usually about two weeks prior to your next period is when you are more likely to conceive. Just try on all those days :) But don't stress over it; you'll hurt your chances to conceive by getting your hormones out of wack. Good luck!

I wouldn't rely on 'calculators'...If you are seriously TTC, you should get a basal body temperature thermometer and chart your temps so you can pinpoint your ovulation.  There are free websites like fertilityfriend that will let you keep track of your info on their as well as secondary symptoms such as cervical mucous.  

Good luck!

yeah iv ordered a thermometer.  im waiting for it to arrive as my other one broke. but i am also using  ovulation tests to try n help.

Oh, that is good, I never had much luck with the ov. tests...just a word of wisdom about them, if you are not catching your ov. on them, some brands say to test up to three times a day...I couldn't test 3xday because of work etc. and some months I wouldn't catch it with the strips but since I was using my bbt, it worked out for me.  

Good luck!
