Everyone ovulates at a different time. To find out when you ovulate and how best to schedule some baby-making, start taking and charting your Basal Body Temperatures (BBT).
To check your basal body temperature, start keeping track of your temperature on the first day of your period using a basal body thermometer (you can buy one at any pharmacy), which shows minute changes in your temperature. You should take your temperature as soon as you wake up and before you get out of bed. If you can, take your basal body temperature at the same time every morning. When you have done this mark it on a chart.
It's helpful to chart your temperature for a few months so you can see whether there's a pattern to your cycle. If you're sick or fail to take your temperature immediately upon awakening, any pattern you find may be inaccurate. Thermometers that remember the last reading are helpful if you tend to go back to sleep after taking your temperature.
Also check your cervical mucus. There are three ways you can do this: using toilet paper or your fingers across the opening of your vagina, wearing a panty liner (which is sometimes hard to detect) or inserting your finger into your vagina. Note the consistency of the mucus. You may also want to monitor its texture throughout the day. If it’s clear and slippery, about the consistency of raw egg white, then you’re at your most fertile.
You should notice a rise in your temperature signaling that you have ovulated at the same time your mucus will look and feel like egg white. When the two coincide, then you know it's time to start trying to conceive.
Usually once you've ovulated, your window of opportunity is starting to close (but not completely closed), but with the BBT chart, you will have a better idea of your ovulation date for the next cycle.

Okay so when your menstrual period comes up which is usually 7 days or less after those days you count up to 15 in your calender . You keep counting from 1 - 7 to 15
14+1=15=ovulation
28+1=29=menstrual period
