if my period cycle is about 29 days and my period ended on the 15th december - would i more than likely have ovulated around the 29th december?

Yup, it's 14 days BEFORE your next cycle. Not all women have a 28 day cycle, therefor do not ovulate on CD 14. For example I have a 30 day cycle and ovulate on CD 17.

If you had sex on your fertile days and ovulation day, you would have a 20% chance of conception (same odds as any healthy couple TTC) Good luck!

No, its 14 days after IF you have a regular 28 day cycle. If not, its best to count 14 days back from when your next cycle should be as your period is the shedding of your uterine lining which is built up by when you ovulate.

If you have a phone where you can download apps, there is one called "period tracker" or "my days " where you can plug in all your personal information and it will have a calendar showing days you are fertile, and the day you ovulate.

The day you ovulate is more accurately determined by the first day your period started. It is usually 14 days after the first day.. So say your period started on the December 10th, you would have most likely ovulated on the 24th or 25th with a 29 day cycle.

Yes, either the 29th or 30th. You usually ovulate 2 weeks before your next period.
