Answer 1

None of us can answer that question. You need to chart and monitor you body signs for fertility. Charting is the only way to do that. So here is some charting information.

The first day of each fertility chart begins on the first day of your menstrual period. It will end on (but not include) the first day of your next period. Your temperature will be taken each morning, upon waking, at approximately the same time each morning. All other body changes can be noted as the day progresses, but for accuracy, I suggest that you try to set a regular time for each test. Morning is best, before you urinate, for most things, except the OPK test. Remember your fertility chart is to predict ovulation trends based on past menstrual patterns, but close observation of your cervix and cervical fluids can be used to predict impending ovulation, specially when combined with an OPK. It is extremely important that you remember that your predictions have limited accuracy, the care you put into your monitoring, and documenting, will have a major impact on your results. There is always going to be a certain degree of error both as a result of outside factors and human error. Your fertility chart is a calendar used to show the patterns of your fertility cycles, the more regular your cycles are, the more effective the calendar method is for predicting your ovulation patterns. The more careful you are, with monitoring and documenting, the more accurately you can predict ovulation, the higher the chance is that you will become pregnant sooner.

The goal to fertility charting is pregnancy. The idea of predicting ovulation is to time sexual intercourse during your most fertile time. Most fertility, and relationship experts, recommend that you have sexual intercourse on a regular basis. Reproduction specialists recommend an increase in sexual activity to daily during your most fertile time. But, if the man has sperm issues, every other day is still the best practice. In the beginning of ‘trying to conceive’ (ttc), sex two to three times per week, every week, sounds like fun. Unfortunately it can become structured and routine. Surprisingly, it is often the men who find the sexual demands of ‘baby making sex’ to be stressful - can you say ‘performance anxiety’. I suggest that you take this into consideration, right from the start. You need to be careful that ‘baby making sex’ does not take priority over making love. If you find this is becoming an issue, take a break from planed sex for a bit, work on you two, as a couple. You should still try to chart and prepare so that next month you can start fresh and new. Sometimes the entire process can become way too overwhelming and you need to take a charting holiday. If you need to take that break, do it! Drop it all for a bit and pick it up when you feel better about everything. You need to stop and think about how important it is that this baby has both of you when it is born. You will find a special section on your chart to document the days that you have intercourse.

You should find that your menstrual cycle is made up of three phases. The first stage is the beginning on your cycle and is known as menses. Charting begins on day one of menses. The second phase is the follicular phase and occurs after menses and before ovulation. The length of the follicular phase may vary from cycle to cycle and from woman to woman. The follicular phase length determines your cycle length. Ovulation divides the follicular phase from the luteal phase. The luteal phase occurs after ovulation and lasts from 12 to 14 days, but may last from 10 to 15 days. The luteal phase length is usually fairly consistent rarely changing, more than a day or two, from cycle to cycle in an individual woman. You may have been told that most ‘regular’ cycles last from 29 to 30 days, as you are probably aware, we are all different and so are the lengths of our cycles. A typical menstrual cycle may be anywhere from 21 to 35 days, according to the American Society for Reproductive Medicine. Our cycles are all individual and different things can affect each cycle, but hopefully yours will show the hormone patterns that you seek. Life happens and things affect our bodies differently. You will probably find that no two cycles are exactly the same, but they should be similar. Charting will help you to realize when the three phases occur in your cycle so you can determine when you are most likely to conceive. You probably grew up believing that you ovulate, or are most fertile, on day 14 of your menstrual cycle, mid cycle or 14 days before your period is expected. This time frame is known as the cover line, but the assumption is based on broad averages and they may not be true for you, even if your cycles are regular. When cycles are irregular, it is usually a result of ovulation occurring earlier or later than expected. Knowing when you ovulate allows you to have a good idea if intercourse was well timed for conception and lets you determine your luteal phase length. Knowing your luteal phase length tells you when to expect your period or a positive pregnancy test result. Though not accurate either, the luteal phase is supposed to be 10 to 17 days long. By using this, you count back the length of your longest luteal phase from the length of your average cycle. It is suggested that you mark and ‘O’ on your chart to signify the earliest that you may ovulate. If you have a ‘regular’ length cycle, this means you should mark you ‘O’ at, or around, day 11 in your upcoming cycle. You can use this ‘O’ as a warning point for you to be a bit more observant in your monitoring.

Answer 2

Everyone is different...If you have longer cycles then you probably ovulate a little later in your cycle....The best advice I can give you is to get a fertility monitor or ovulation strips.....this will give you a better insight to when you ovulate instead of trying to figure it out by your last period.....I use the clear blue easy fertility monitor and its wonderful....it pinpoints the exact days when you are most fertile.....If you cant do that then I would suggest to start having sex on day 10 (counting from the first day of your last period to around day 18, every other day.....If you still have no luck after a while I would consult my OB/GYN to make sure all is well...Good Luck!

Answer 3

To be honest I think the best way that you could detect it would be going and getting ovulation predictor kit at the drugstore that way you know for sure - . If you have a typical 28 day cycle the ovulation date would expected to be anywhere between day 14-16 (day 1 being the start of your period). If your cycle was textbook from the date you gave above you would probably have ovulated anywhere from Feb 7-10th but the only way to have known definately would have been ovulation predictor kits & monitoring body temps as well as cervical mucus changes....

Answer 4

You cannot predict when you will ovulate based only on the length of previous cycles and the dates of your periods.


The length of time between ovulation, and the start of the next period, varies from one woman to another.

Just because you ovulate on day 20 of your cycle one month, does not mean you will ovulate on the same cycle day the next month. Each cycle can be different. Stress can and often does delay ovulation.

The best way to figure out when you will ovulate to aid in conception is to chart your fertility signs ( basal body temperature and cervical fluid. You can use OPKs ( ovulation predictor kits) to help supplement the info you gain from your charts.

Answer 5

We can't calculate your ovulation date for you. Most women ovulate between ten and sixteen days before menstruation, which means that if you've got a 32 day cycle, you might ovulate anywhere between Day 16 and Day 22 of your cycle. Ovulation predictor kits or monitoring BBT and other signs may help you figure out when you ovulate.

Answer 6

Best advice I can give is to buy an ovulation kit. Then you will know for sure. Just follow the directions and have more than 1 kit so you can test continuously until you get a positive result. Remember, you can only get pregnant a few days out of the month, so you must be having sex then.

Answer 8

Hi, here's what I always went by. I had a twenty- eight day cycle. Always to the day. In all the conception and ovalation predictors is if you don't want to get pregnant , which was in my case..will work for you in the opposite. You start counting on the first day of your menstral cycle., the day you start. Even if you are still having your period,Ovalation will usally start on the eight day of your cycle, being that the tenth -the thirteeth day as being your best bet.
This has always worked for me. I have always know when I got pregnant and it aways was on the eleventh day. So do it lots on those days.
I suggested. fYI. the earlier in your cycle it will a girl, later a boy..Cause boy sperm is slower then girls. You know men. slow but sure.

Hope this works..Let us know

Answer 9

We can't predict ovulation for you, not everyone has a 14 day lunar cycle. So the best thing for you to do is keep track of your bbt, and keep an eye on your cervical mucus.
