when does a woman starts ovulating??

Answer 1

A woman ovulates APPROXIMATELY 14 days BEFORE her next period starts, not AFTER. It is called the luteal phase--DAY PASSED OVULATION. It is generally 12-16 days---14 days is average. And it HAS TO BE AT LEAST 10 to get pregnant. But, whatever it is, it is usually the same amount of days EACH MONTH. The first part of a woman's cycle might have fluctuations---like from stress---but the luteal phase is always the same. Here is a good definition: http://www.webwomb.com/luteal_phase_fram...

If the average woman has a luteal phase of 14 days--then a woman with a 28 day cycle ovulates on day 14. However, if a woman has a 24 day cycle, then she ovulates on day 10. With a 35 day cycle she would ovulate around day 21. If a woman has irregular cycles---(28 one month, 35 the next month, 45 another month) it is much harder to know the timing of ovulation--other than body temperature or increased vaginal secretions. Increased vaginal secretions are a good sign a woman is ovulating.

The best thing to do is start charting your cycles--and see how regular you are. There are plenty of sites out there. I like this one: http://www.cyclespage.com/ Basic service is free. After a couple cycles, it will let you know how many days your cycles are, and APPROXIMATELY what days you are most fertile---in a window. Due to not knowing exactly how long your luteal phase is---it will give a window.

Answer 2

every woman is different. you need to calculate when YOU ovulate by using the methods in "how to choose the sex of your baby" book by dr. shettles. It doesnt help you choose the sex....but it DOES show you how to tell exactly down to the minute (I swear!) of when you are ovulating.

Answer 3

Approximately 14 days after the end of her period.
