Tracy87, it's hard to say if you will ovulate on the same days. Not every woman ovulates like clockwork. Your cycle is based on the first day of your period to the first day of the next one.

A woman will have her period 12-16 days after ovulation. Therefore you cannot predict your ovulation based on your period. You CAN predict your period based on when you ovulate.

You need to monitor your fertility and find out when you'll be ovulating. Most women have cervical mucous (CM) when they ovulate that is clear like raw egg whites and stretches to an inch or more.

I think you will.  I did.  The month before I got pregnant, I had the lightest period it only lasted 3-4 days.  I even told my doctor when I went in for my first OB visit and he thought from my description it may have been implantation bleeding.  But it was just a light period, so I must have ovulated.  Good Luck
