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 a free and helpful site.
The following is a list of signs of ovulation.
Increase in cervical mucous- Cervical mucous will increase before ovulation and right around ovulation you will notice slippery “egg white” looking cervical mucous.
Increased sex-drive- You may be more interested in sex or be more easily aroused around the time of ovulation. Some people believe this is a biologically designed way to ensure reproduction.
Breast tenderness- Some women will notice breast tenderness or other premenstrual symptoms around the time of ovulation.
Bloating and water weight- You may be bloated or retaining water around the time of ovulation.
Swollen vagina or vulva- Your labia or vagina may become full and more sensitive.
Cramping (Mittelschmerz or midpain)- You may feel cramping or achiness around the time of ovulation.
Cervix position is high and soft- If you are checking your cervix it will feel high, soft and more open around the time of ovulation. It will be more difficult to reach during ovulation.
Moodiness or increased energy- You may have mood swings around the time of ovulation. Some women may feel a boost of energy prior to ovulation.

I answered this for someone else...Hope it helps!
Most women ovulate (release an egg from the ovary) about two weeks before their period. If your cycle is regular, count back 12-16 days from the day your period normally starts and this will give you a rough idea of when you are fertile. An egg lives for about a day and sperm survive for up to seven days. Having sex two or three times a week would include ‘the fertile time’.
Your husbands sperm has a long way to travel (considering their size) Within 90 seconds of ejaculation, many sperm have already entered the cervix.The sperm travel through the uterus, and out into the fallopian tubes.
At ovulation, the follicle pops open and your egg is released. Fingerlike projections at the ends of the tubes pick it up for transport down one of your two fallopian tubes. The egg enters the tube within a few minutes of its release by the ovary. The hormones of the body help the tube contract and push the egg towards the uterus. The egg waits in the midpoint of the tube for the sperm to arrive. It is only ripe for fertilization for about 24 hours.When the sperm find the egg, the first one to penetrate the egg creates a barrier to all the other sperm. The egg slowly makes its way down to the uterus (three or four days after ovulation) and burrows into the uterine wall (five to seven days after ovulation).
And that's it !!! Easy!!! mmmm..... not really....Its nothing short of a miracle!!

Some women do feel ovulation pains (a mild cramp from one ovary or the other in the middle of your cycle). Other women take their average number of days in their cycle and divide by 2 to find out which day is most likely. Your odds of getting pregnant in any given cycle when having sex during ovulation are about 25% (assuming both people are fertile). Some people buy the ovulation kits (I never did, and as I understand it they are expensive). I used basal body temperature. Each morning, as soon as you wake up, before getting out of bed or using the bathroom, and at about the same time you take your temperature. As you chart it throughout the month you will get about a 1 degree temperature spike about a day before you ovulate (responsible hormone is progesterone). Your temperature will continue to be a degree higher for the rest of your cycle. If you are pregnant it will stay higher, if you are not it will drop back down a degree the day before or of your new cycle (1st day of period). Hope that helps. Good luck.

Put your period on a calendar and 10-14 days from the 7th day is ovulation time. You can do a cervical mucus test with your fingers. Go high up and get some cervical mucus between thumb and forefinger. It strings and is a little slimier when you open/close your fingers, if you are ovulating.

From the LAST day of your last period, count 14 days and this is the day that you are receptive to conceive. Good news is that sperm can live in your body for 5 days. So in other words; from the last day of your period at 9 to 14 days, you can conceive. * I had a problem with my pregnancy that had all to do with when I conceived. I researched it then. Good Luck!!

I agree with Butterflyangel. Chart it at mymonthlycycles.com its a free and great site.
It will take you awhile to figure out your body, but its worth it. Plus if you are trying then you have records to give the Dr if you are having trouble.
BTW.... if your period is 28 days your fertile time is between 10-17 days. It varies. Rhythm method is to not get pregnant!Every woman is different.
