According to the ovulation calculator on askdramy.com, I am most fertile around this time of the month. Is this correct? I normally get my period around the 23rd of each month, so is it correct that I would be ovulating now, on the 7th?

No, no, no, no, no.
The calculation these people and that site are using is an average. It does NOT hold true for everyone. You do not ovulate 14 days before your period, or 14 days after your period, or right in between no matter what the length is, or anything like that. You cannot just say that.
IF the average their calculation is based on holds TRUE for YOU, and that's a big IF ... then it's roughly correct. Please please please chart your temperatures or something for at least a month so that you can make the calculation yourself. Trust me. I learned that the hard way ... my cycle is 35 days which everyone told me isn't normal (it is) and after I started charting I found I ovulate on day 18 or 19 (which obviously ISN'T fourteen days before OR after my period like everybody says). Now I have read more and more about women's cycles and realized that people are still telling girls this CRAP ... and this absolutely drives me crazy.
You seem intelligent so I'll quit lecturing everybody now. Sorry.
I say chart temperatures or use an OPK for two months. See what your normal ovulation time is and then go by that. Stop plugging numbers into calculators that aren't accurate.

Assuming your period comes every 28-30 days each month, count the first day of your last period as day 1. You are most fertile days 9-16, ovulating around day 14. Sperm can live inside your fallopian tubes for 3-5 days waiting for you to pop out that egg, but your egg will only be able to be fertilized for up to 24 hours after it is released from your ovary. Sometimes you can tell if you're ovulating because your discharge becomes slippery and clear like raw egg whites, you cramp a little or feel pressure (almost like gas), and your libido increases. Good luck!

maximum women human beings ovulate 12-sixteen days previously their era and interior individual women human beings that infrequently varies with the help of extra effective than an afternoon. for women those with shorter cycles, this suggests they often ovulate extremely quickly after their era ends. Your cycles are on the longer section and that's in all probability which you ovulate approximately day sixteen to day 20. As you techniques-set ovulation, your cervical mucous might desire to get much less lotiony and extra like egg white (sparkling, each so often streaked, and stretchy.)

The most accurate time is acutally supposed to be 14 days before your next period, not after your last period so if you are very regular you should be able to calculate the time by that. It gets alot harder if you are not regular. The best way I found is chart when you notice the "egg white" every month and see if it occurs around the same time (every month). Than you can plan in advance when your next ovulation should be.

if you have about a 28 to 30 day cycle, then you probably ovulate somewhere between the 10th and 14th day of yoru cycle. You count days starting on the 1st day of your period. The day yoru period starts is Day 1. So, 10 to 14 days after that you are probably ovulating but there's no way to tell for sure unless you chart your cycles over the course of a few months monitoring your basal body temperature, cervical mucous changes, and cervical position.
if your cycle is shorter than 28 days you might be ovulating closer to day 6 or 8. If it is longer than 28 days you might be ovulating after day 14...

Usually 7 to 14 days after you start your period...you may notice a little bit of clear discharge around that time as well and that is the most fertile time of the month.

You ovulate in the middle of your cycle. Keep track of 5 of your periods, and take the start dates and count the days from the start of Period 1 to Period 2, then from Period 2 to Period 3, etc etc. Count the days between your start dates, and you have your average cycle. If there are roughly 28 days between each cycle, you ovulate 14 days after your period starts. If your average cycle is 30, then you ovulate 15 days after your period. (Divide your cycle length in half.)
You have about two to three days before and after you ovulate to get pregnant. Good luck!

it is usually 14 days after your period but not all women have a 28 day perfect cycle.
Go to http://www.mymonthlycycles.com and put in your period info and it will calculate when you will be fertile and ovulating. It is the best site to use.
Good luck

What you can do is the day you get your period...count back about 12 days and that is about when you ovulated.
If you are regular - then you can pretty much predict the approximate time of ovulation.
