I have heard that you can ovulate ten days after the first day of your period, and I also heard it could be twelve or fourteen. Which is true?

Both are true. So are a lot of other numbers you could hear.
The "textbook" woman has a 28 day cycle and ovulates on day 14 of that cycle. That's the textbook woman; very few women are textbook, as it turns out.
It is not true that women ovulate on day 14 of their cycle. Or that you can tell when ovulation occurred during your last cycle by counting back 14 days from the start of your current cycle.
Some women ovulate on day 14. Some on day 11. Some on day 20. And so forth.
If you want to determine when YOU ovulate, the best way to do that is to start charting your own cycles (are they regular? how long are they?), including your basal body temperature (your at-rest temperature, taken first thing in the morning before you even make a move to get out of bed; hormonal shifts result in temperature shifts, and therefore your temperature can give you information about ovulation), cervical position, and presence/quality of cervical fluid. You can also use ovulation predictor kits of fertility monitors to help predict when you are about to ovulate.
A good source of information on ovulation, including information on how to determine what your own body is doing, is the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility, by Toni Weschler; you can also look at the forums on the related website, tcoyf.com.

I believe it depends on your cycle. Not every woman has a 28 day cycle. For someone with a 28 day cycle, it might occur on the 14th day after her period. Many people do not have a 28 day cycle tho'. Maybe you should try one of the ovulation tracking kits so you can be sure and learn more about your ovulating patterns. Good luck! :-)

Everyone ovulate at different times. You may ovulate during your period or the day rigth after your period ends. what i did was kept track of my cycle for a couple of months,write down the days i had intercourse,check for a clear slippery discharge,and asked my mate to tell me when he fell a difference when having intercourse.This is how i fought out that i ovulate 11days after my period.

If you're definite you ovulate on day 18, then you may have what the health practitioner's call a "luteal phase defect," because of this you might be having your period too quickly after ovulation, so the egg would not have time to implant. I would see your healthcare professional, and see if there may be any medication for that. I think there may be.

Generally it's 14 days after your period, but everyone is different. You can get an ovulation predictor kit at your local pharmacy.

Anywhere from 10-14 days. Everyone is different. best bet to figure yourself out is an ovulation test.

every woman's body is different. Try using a basal thermometer to track your daily AM temp and pin point ovulation.
Good Luck
