No. In fact, that isn't the most reliable way to determine when you are ovulating. The best way is to chart signs of fertility, including cervical fluid and basal body temperature. Please read _Taking Charge of Your Fertility_ by Toni Weschler for details.
Good luck!!

Nope. You just have to chart your cycle. The most important part of knowing when you are ovulating is by checking your cervical fluid on a daily basis. When you check it one day and you notice that it is egg white in consistency(stretchy and kind of rubbery/slimy) then you will ovulate within 24 hours. Also it is good to chart your cycle so you know how many days it is before you have your next period. Once you figure out how many days your cycle is (mine is 33) then you can make an assumption as to when you will ovulate(usually halfway through the cycle. Mine is day 16). Start checking your cervical fluid a few days before the day you think you will ovulate and continue to do so until you see that it is egg white in consistency and bam, you know when you ovulate every month. Always chart everything so you have record.

Not always, it's just that if you don't know your body well enough, trying to figure it out could pose greater difficulty. A sign of ovulation is sometimes a dull achy pain where your ovaries are, and you can usually tell if that is the situation by knowing if your period is due, or very close to being due. Achy ovaries are a good indication, also a thick mucous like discharge is a good indication that your body is ovulating.

Not necessarily, if you do not know your body and the symptoms of ovulation you have when you ovulate you may need to get an ovulation predictor. But if you get to know your body you don't need one. This is what you have to do, mesure the lenghth in days of your cycle, look for signs of lower abdomen discomfort during the middle of your cycle or any time after your menstruation, check for discharges, white discharge? elastic texture like discharge? more frequently some days than others? sore breats? things like that, search the net to learn more about ovulation. But the best thing you can do is get to know your body. Good luck!

I have never used an ovulation test. Just chart your cycle and pay attention to the signals your body is giving you if you don't want to use a test.
