Answer 1

to find your next period date. you count 28 days from the first day of your last period....hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Before you start estimating your due date and ovulation date, you first need to know if you're regular, and how long your cycles are. Not every woman, in fact very few, are perfect at 28 days unless they're on the pill, which defeats the purpose. Assuming you were 28 days on the dot, you would count 4 weeks from the start of your last period to your next one, and your best bet for ovulation would be day 14 using the same start day. You can also keep a look out for it by your fluids (your discharge should change to clear and slightly stretchy-think egg whites- when you're ovulating). Give it a couple months to see how your cycles run if you don't already know. If you want to try in the mean time, get some ovulation predictors from the store and use them as directed. But keep track of your entire cycle, it'll be the best way to help you in the long run. Also, if you're really irregular, you'll have a better idea what to tell a doc when you go in next time.

Answer 3

You would have to watch it for a few months. Some women go every 28 days, some every 29 and etc. It is most likely that you will ovulate 16-14 days before you start your next period. Also your temperature is slightly higher on the morning that you ovulate so if you take your temp every day then you should be able to know. Sperm can live in you for a few days so you can have sex a day or two before or after you ovulate and still have a good chance of getting pregnant. Hope this helps!!!

Answer 4

you count from your August period start date to your Sept. start date. Then, that may be 20, 25, 28 or something. Whatever that number is, you count from Sept. 13 and then that's your next start date. But if you haven't gotten your period yet, you might be pregnant because that is more than 30 days ago which is a long cycle. If you did get it already, you want to keep track for several months in order to pin down ovulation days.

Answer 5

Your period is every 28 days. If you started on the 13 then count 28 days and that's when you can expect your next period to start.

Answer 6

Every woman is different. Not everyone has a 28 day cycle. You should start charting your bbt and cervical mucus if you want to know when you ovulate and when your peak fertile time is. www.fertilityfriend.com is a good website to help you get started and it is totally free.

Answer 7

you'll probably have it near the end of august. There's no way to be really sure unless you're an adult then your period should be more regular. If your a teen though, then you can never be exactly sure. Be prepared to get it soon though.
