I had an IUD placed in Feb 06. I had it removed in Aug 06 because it was embedded in my uterus. The doctor told me that I could leave it in but I did not feel comfortable with it being there and being able to feel the strings. I had a normal period in August and after that things got a little crazy. My periods used to be every 28 days like clockwork now they come every 30 day. When I got AF in October I was shocked because it lasted about nine days. My question is will the length of my period change when I am suppose to ovulate? I know that ovualtion normally occurs 14 day after your period, but I can not help to ask if I will ovulate later since I had my period for so long. Please help!

Everyone's cycle is different. There is a myth that woman ovulate 14 days after their period begins...but that is only an AVERAGE and each month can be different. The other thing is that sperm can live inside you for up to 5 days.... The only way to know is to know exactly when you ovulate. There are several ways to know and some are more effective than others. Some can only predict before ovulation happens and some can only predict that is has already happened. The absolute best info I can give you is to go read a book called Taking Charge of your fertility by Toni Weschler. It will help you understand your body and all the myths about it. It will help you time when you are ovulating and the best times to conceive – or not! . It's about knowing your body and knowing when you are fertile or not. My husband and I tried for 1 year and had no luck..… We tried ovulation predictors , laying with pillows under me for 20 min. everything……the first month that I began using the book I realized that my timing was WRONG!. We got pregnant that very first month and I am now due Feb 2, 2007. You can pick and choose what you do with your info. Good luck and don't listen the all the myths! Even if you don't get into charting and everything....it will help you in so many ways!

No, it should not have any effect of when you ovulate. If this was your first period since August, then it's possible that your lining was just built up, which took longer for it to shed during your period.
If you are ttc, don't rely on the myth that you will ovulate on day 14. I would suggest using an ovulation kit this month and start testing around day 12. If your cycle is about 30 days now, you could ovulate as late as day 19. The ovulation kits usually have 7 tests, so if you start testing around day 12-13, you can test up to day 18-19.
In the future, you might want to consider charting your daily basal body temperature to get an idea of when your ovulating and if you are ovulating regularly. You can learn how to chart your bbt and chart for free at fertilityfriend.com. These charts are useful to help your OB diagnose some fertility problems.
Good luck!

you ovulate one week to 10 days before your period starts no matter how long it lasts.
