Girlies! when you have a 39 day cycle when do you ovulate?

Question

Trying for a baby and my last cycle was 39 days, do i still ovulate on the 14th day? thanx x

Answer 1

No, you wouldn't have ovulated on the 14th day. The last phase of your cycle is called th luteal phase. This is constant for every cycle you have regardless of the length, it varies from woman to woman and can be between 10-16 days. Remember that the 28 day cycle is only an average and is not the norm!

The best thing to do is take your temperature every morning when you wake up. It will rise when you ovulate and will Stay higher until your next period. Once released you egg remains viable for fertilisation for just 12-24 hours. Also keep an eye on your mucus. It will become stretchy like egg white as you approach ovulation. Sperm can survive for max. 5 days in this more fertile mucus.

It is recommended that you have intercourse every other day during the week before you ovulate and then for a day or two after.

I wouldn't spend money on ovulation kits etc as you really don't need them. Your body will tell you for free when you are ovulating!

Make sure you are taking pre-natal vitamins and good luck!

Answer 2

The '14th day' thing is just an average based on the fact that most women have a 28 day cycle. All women ovulate at slightly different times within their cycle.
39 days is a long cycle and cycles that are very far outside the average length are not associated with fertility.
You should get a ovulation kit.

That is such a tough call, if you ask me. Are you always 39 days like CLOCKWORK?? You may be ovulating if you are, but I know that having really long cycles like that don't always mean you are ovulating (breakthrough/withdrawl bleeding).

And even if you are ovulating, it is still hard to say. Sure, a previous poster said roughly 14 days prior to your period...and that can be true if you have a 14 day leuteal phase, but not everyone's is that short or that long.

You can use the ovulation tests, but that can get costly, as well. You can chart your BBT (temps) for FREE at www.fertilityfriend.com Temping will show you FOR SURE when you ovulated. It doesn't really predict when you are going to ovulate, but it WILL tell you when you did. There are great tutorials on that website, too!

Answer 5

It's usually 14-16 days BEFORE the next period so in your case this would be about days 25-27 after the start of the last one.

Ovulation kits and learning to read your body's physical signs is the only other way to be certain.

Answer 6

When you ovulate, hormones are going nuts, so you will feel more "amorous" than usual...you will feel a thickening of cervical fluids. It looks like raw egg whites, clear and slippery, and is very stretchy. Have intercourse when you see this particular vaginal fluid, and afterward lay in bed for 30 minutes with a pillow under your hips or your legs propped up to prevent your husband's sperm from leaking.
