Your best bet in pinpointing ovulation, and your most fertile time of the month, is to start charting and watching your fertility signs. Buy a basal thermometer and take your temp first thing every morning - at the same time every day - before you even get out of bed. Before you do anything at all. Note the temp. When you ovulate, your temp will rise and stay elevated above the pattern you note for pre-ovulation temps. Your cervical mucus will typically tell you when ovulation is coming. It will be watery, or like egg whites. That's the fertile stuff that keeps sperm alive while you are waiting to ovulate. You can also buy ovulation strips to test for lueteinizing hormone (you'll have a surge of it 12-36 hours before ovulation), but keep in mind that when you test for ovulation the test line must be *as dark or darker than the control line. * Two lines do not equal a positive on the ovulation tests.

There is a charting course there that you can take for free, and free software to chart your temps. The first day of your period is 'cycle day 1.' I typically ovulate on cycle day 12, but have actually ovulated on cycle day 10 before and as late as cycle day 15. This variation in ovulation days is why some women's cycle lengths vary. The time between ovulation and your period (the 'luteal' phase) will not vary more than a day, maybe two. But the time between your period and ovulation can vary more than that. Find your pattern and it will be much easier to target your fertile times.

Answer 3

With a woman who ovulates on a normal, regular schedule, this is how it would work.
Day 1 is the first day of your period.
Ovulation will generally be around day 15, but can be any time between days 13 and 19 or so.
So if your first day was the 9th, you can expect to ovulate any time between the 22nd and the 28th.
(Don't forget, though, that some women will ovulate off schedule. It happens.)
If you're trying to get pregnant, then have sex every other day between those dates. (Sperm can survive in the body for up to three days.) Better yet, start having sex every other day starting on the 20th. (So the 20th, 22nd, 24th, 26, & 28th. Then maybe one more time on the 30th just for luck.)

Answer 4

Every women is different. Cycles are different for each women and can vary from cycle to cycle. The day you ovulate can change from cycle to cycle. The only way to know definitely when you ovulate is to chart your waking temperature and analyze your cervical mucus.

Read the book: Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler. The book explains your cycle, charting and how to get pregnant. Check out the website: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/ Buy a basal thermometer at the drug store. You need to start charting so that you can get an accurate picture of what is happening in your cycles. This information can aid you in having sex at the correct time.

Answer 5

hi there. most women ovulate between days 7-14 from the first day of their last period. i conceived successfully twice on day 14 of my cycle. you can also take your temperature at the same time every day, twice a day, when it is elevated you are said to be ovulating but this is not a "set in stone" method, works for some and not for others. also, discharge changes when ovulating, so be extra vigilant when cleaning after loo. good luck x

Answer 6

the best thing to do is to invest is ovulation predictor kits
i used ClearPlan easy and it was ridiculously easy to do, just pee on a stick and wait 3 minutes lol
anyway this test will measure your "surge" which means you are about to ovulate so when your get your surge have sex everyday for a few days then every other day for a week
this test works very well because every women is different and has her own ovulation cycle

good luck

Answer 7

I used ovulation tests and also tracked my temperature. I would get a positive test, and then the next day my temp would drop a bit (this doesn;t happen to everyone), and the next day it would go way up, meaning I ovulated the day before. I used www.fertilityfriend.com to track it all.

Answer 8

The best way is to monitor your ovulation cycle daily. It's so easy, just check your saliva. Ovulation can be any time. twice in a month, once in 3-10 month. Checking your saliva you should not miss this 24 hours !!!

Answer 9

You can get an ovulation calendar on web MD it will help you figure out what days you are more fertile and what days to have sex on. Good luck. By the way using this calendar helped me.
