Most women ovulate about 14 days before their period is due. If you have a regular cycle, you can count back from the day before your period is due and find out around when you ovulate. It can be off by a few days on any given month, but in general about 14 days before. you're due to start.

If you have an irregular cycle you can chart your temperature. You need to be asleep for at least three hours straight before you take it, and at the same time every morning. Put the thermometer somewhere you can reach it easily, without having to move much. Don't even sit up before you take it, moving can cause it to go up. Start charting it every day from the first day of your period. The day after ovulation you will have a "spike" of at least .4 degrees, and it should stay higher until right before your period is due, or if it stays high for at least 18 days you could be pregnant. It will take a couple months to see a pattern in how your temperature is. Look up basal body temperature charts to look at other women's charts and see examples of when they ovulated.

I'm not sure what all you want to know, I hope that helped...feel free to ask more.

14 days after the start day of your period you should ovulate. there are websites that can help you figure it out if you go to www.ovulationcalculator.org/   on this website there is a place to put in the first day of your period and then hit calculate and it will tell you when you ovulate. if you google pregnancy calculators there are some that may be a little better in helping you figure out the best chance to conceive.

You can also try *******************. They have great info too. When I was ttc, I uploaded the app on my iPhone, it tells you when you should see AF, when you are ovulating and when its the best time to ttc. I've never been good with my ovulation and all that cos my AF was always all over the place, up and down like a yoyo due to PCOS. But this app/website came in very very handy.

I have found the best way to tell when I'm going to ovulate is by using ovulation pee sticks (ovulation predictor kit) which you can get at Target Walgreens Wal Mart CVS pretty much everywhere. Just follow the directions on the box it tells you what days to test and everything :)
