Ovulation

Hi, Me and my husband are trying to get pregnant again. I am very unfamiliar with pinpointing my days of ovulation. My period came on 7/25 and we have been trying non-stop from 8/3-8/9. I know that the average woman with a 28 day cycle usually ovulates on day 14. However, my cyle is a little unsteady, my period does come on average, every 28 days, but it can last anywhwere between 3-8 days long. Is this normal? Does the length of my period have any bearing on when I ovulate? We have 2 wonderful little boys, which both were unexpected, yet joyful surprises, so I really don't know when they were concieved. I never knew how UNFAMILIAR I am with my body, until now?

I came on my period on the 1st of the month and finished around the 4th so when would I be most fertile?

The only way you can tell when you ovulate is by tracking your bbt.  You can also use an opk that will allow you to better predict your ovulation and you can time bd accordingly.  Go to www.fertilityfriend.com and you can learn a lot about keeping track of your fertile days.  Everyone is different and ovulate at different times so it is hard for someone to tell you when you ovulate.  My cycle is about 31 days long and is 7 days long and I ovulate on CD 18 not 14 so it all depends on the person.  Good luck.
