Women ovulate exactly 14 days before the first day of her period. So if a woman keeps track of her cycle she would be calculate the approximate date of ovulation.
Also, you can tell when a woman is ovulating by the consistency and amount of her vaginal secretions.
The following is straight out of one of my textbooks:
"A woman reads her mucus by putting her fingers inside her vagina and noting the consistency of the secretions:
-After menstruation there are usually some "dry days" when there is no vaginal discharge on the vulva.
-When a yellow or white sticky discharge begins, unprotected coitus (intercourse) should be avoided.
-Several days later, the ovulatory mucus appears. It is clear, stringy, and stretchy in consistency, similar to egg white. A drop of this mucus will stretch between an open thumb and forefinger for at least 1 and 1/2 inches before breaking. A vaginal feeling of wetness and lubrication accompanies this discharge, which has a chemical balance and texture that facilitate the entry of sperm into the uterus.
-Approximately 4 days after the ovulatory mucus begins and 24 hours after a cloudy discharge resumes, it is considered safe to resume unprotected intercourse(Crooks/Baur, pg. 326)."
I hope this helps!

Generally this occurs 14 days after the first day of the period but this is not always true.Women also have a vaginal discharge.Also many appear to want sex a lot more during this time if my experience is anything to go by.

You can not accurately know The day of ovulation.
Its calculated with approximate findings and majority of occasions it happens on the 14 th day or mid cycle day.
Its by scan we find out ovulation.

It generally occurs 14 days after the start of her period.
Sometimes a woman does not even feel it. But usually the ovary will be painful and it can be felt in the form of tenderness.

What the above two said, but also there is sometimes some vaginal discharge (like liquid. white or transparent; thick or thin - it varies) when a woman is ovulating.
