Answer 1

Many women who have an irregular period aren't ovulating. There are a number of ways that you can determine if you are ovulating or not.

The first and easiest way is to get a blood test from your doctor.

You can also buy an at home ovulation predictor kit, although these aren't always 100% accurate.

You can also chart your body basal temperature. On the day of ovulation, and every day after that until the beginning of your next cycle, your temperature is one degree higher than normal. It is recommended that you take your temperature before you get out of bed in the morning, and at the same time as movement affects the reading.

You can also examine the position of your cervix. When you are ovulating, your cervix is low and soft like the inside of your cheek. At all other times, your cervix is high and hard like the tip of your nose.

When you are ovulating, you may feel slight twinges around your ovaries

When you are ovulating, you may notice a difference in your cervical mucus. It should be clear and sticky, and you may be able to spread as much as 5cm string between your thumb and your forefinger. Gross, I know! It needs to be sticky to draw the sperm.

I'm going to include the link to a trying to conceive forum that I think you might find very useful. It's full of supportive women with boundless knowledge about these issues. I learnt so much there that I doubt I would have learnt otherwise.

Answer 2

take your tempature every morning and on the ovaluting day it will always be higher than normal. Keep a record though. Another thing. When your period gets back to normal and you know you will be starting on the same day every month count back 14 days and have sex around the few days before and the day of and the day after because his sperm lives for days inside a females body but the egg only lasts 24 hours so the sperm would almost have to be waiting or meeting in the middle. GOOD LUCK!

Answer 3

right after your period and before is when your ovulations usually start. but the way to tell, is when you pee, you have a white discharge, which looks kind of like ejaculate. that's when your ovulating.

Answer 4

I was told that if you notice your disharge get more heavy then you are ovulating. Kind of a greyish color. good luck on getting pregnant.
