the length of your period shouldnt affect it. Its just the day you start your period, not the day it ends. You will most likely ovulate between June 20th and June 26th.

Until and unless you notice that every woman you ever see is the same height, same weight, same shoe size, same waist measurement, you can assume that all women *aren't* average. Don't worry about being average; it won't help you. It's *not* normal to be average, either!!
Most women ovulate an *average* (there's that word again!!) of 2 weeks (generally 12-16 days) before their next period. So if you have 28 day cycles, you are most likely ovulating somewhere between day 12 and day 16 of your cycle. Sperm can live in the female body up to 3-5 days *if* conditions are right (only a few hours in the vagina otherwise).
If you want to be able to determine more accurately when you are ovulating, please read _Taking Charge of Your Fertility_ by Toni Weschler. Skip the ovulation calendar Web sites; these also work on *averages*, not on real people. And don't bother with the ovulation predictor kits, either. They can be inaccurate for many women.
By the way, some women ovulate less than 10 days before their next period. In this case, they are infertile. It takes a fertilized egg about a week to reach the uterus, so by the time it got there, the uterine lining would be either starting to be shed or too far along getting ready to shed to stop. The information in the book I recommended will help you determine if this is your problem.

The length of your actual period shouldn't have any effect on when you ovulate. With a 28 day cycle, you ovulate around day 14 (give or take a few days). If you started on June 9th, you'll ovulate around the 23rd.

You usually ovulate 7 days after the end of your period, for about 5 to 7 days, but you can ovulate earlier or later, and you can get pregnant right after your period, so don't think knowing will prevent that.

Everyone is different. I would suggest looking at information on the Billings method. (Taught in Natural Family Planning...) I've taken about 6 months worth of classes on this.
Basically to accurately determine ovulation you need to monitor (and this is gross-sounding too...but I swear it is effective...you can read about it in med journals...) your vaginal mucus. It sounds really awful, but doing this really makes you more aware of your body.
The stretchy-ness of it reveals your level of fertility. The stretchier it is the more fertile you likely are. Now as far as menses. To get an accurate determination of fertility--you have to monitor your cycle and the mucus for months and notice a pattern. but generally, your peak day was 14 days prior to your first day of your period. You can also determine it this way....if your mucus is SUPER stretchy and not tacky (gross! I KNOW!) you are very fertile. If the mucus becomes tacky or disappears...Your peak day was about 3 days prior to the day you become dry.
Basically...Dry==not fertile. REALLY Wet or stretchy==Very fertile.
Look up the Billings Ovulation Method. It is a little more indepth and scientific than I am.

Ok, your ovulation is not your blood. Your uterous bleeds by sheddind the wall of bloody mucus it creates between periods. your "bleeding" cycle is within the norm (28 - 45 days). You should ovulate between the 26th and 30th, given you have two working ovaries as they take turns. Good luck!

I don't think the actual length of time you menstruate will affect when you ovulate. It's different for every woman, but I'd say about 14 days after the first day of your period would be ovulation day.

they still say 12 - 16 days after the first day of your last period....but some people are very different!...i know from experience i do not ovulate until 3 - 4 days before my next period!..(sorry for TMI!)... so try an ovulation kit..you can get them from most drug stores and they work the same way as pregnancy kits!
good luck!

I think you are right to be confused. I'm a bit like you w/ the days and I can TELL when I'm ovulating. If you can't then you may want to invest in one of those over the counter ovulation kits.

My question is: were you sexually lively earlier to the flu? in the course of the flu it will be notably probable you probably did not observe the ovulation adventure in any respect, definite the flu is amazingly distracting. the actual undeniable truth that you had mild bleeding or also huge-spread as recognizing is an illustration of a few thing incorrect. i'd be merely having the flu, the antibiotics. Get checked with out delay.
