When am i ovulating?
Answers:
Let me make is short and simple for you (I'm sure you hate confusing answers!):
If you have a regular 28 day cycle then you should ovulate around 14 days after the first day your period starts. So if your period started on July 11th then you should ovulate around the 25th (maybe a day before or after if your period is not regular). If you have an irregular period then buy an ovulation detector - they can be pretty accurate. Good Luck!
Other Answers:
7 -10 days after the first day of your period
You count 14 days from the FIRST day of your peroid. However, remember that is just a good guess as to when you should start ovulation. Actually I think you're supposed to count backwards. Meaning, that you try to determine the day you expect to have your NEXT period (based on previous period cycles), and count back 14 days or so, and that is supposed to be the normal day of ovulation.
Talk to your local pharmacist to find out what ovulation monitor he/she thinks is best and use that. Because every woman is different, it is difficult to provide you with an exact time that you will be ovulating.
You start counting the first sign of bleeding as the first dayand on the 14th day you should ovulate,if you're regular. Ifyou are still confused go to this site MyMonthlyCycles.com it will help you . Good luck!You start counting from the first day of your period - that is day 1.
You cannot predict when you ovulate just from numbers - it is fallacy to beleive that "everyone" ovulates on day 14 of their cycle. Those whose cycles tend to be longer or shorter than the "text book" 28 days will ovulate on, say, day 11 or day 17.
The only way you can be sure when you are/have ovulated is to take your temperature every day and observe the post ovulation rise in temperature caused by progesterone in your body. You can cross reference this with observing your cervical fluid (its supposed to become wetter and more prolific just before ovulation) and feeling your cervix with your finger (it softens and opens just before ovulation). this should give you an idea of when you ovulate and you may well find it varies from month to month as well.
Ther best thing to do is to get a good book on fertility awareness which will explain it all to you. "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" by Toni Wechsler is generally considered the "Bible" of fertility awareness.
Good luck! Day 1 of a woman's cycle is the first day of her cycle, the day you start bleeding. It is estimated that most women with regular cycles ovulate anywhere from Day 12 to Day 16 but the variations are vast because every woman is different.
You can start tracking your cycles and pinpoint your unique ovulation patterns by looking at morning temperatures and the cervical mucuous that you secrete at different times of the month.
The Couple to Couple League (www.ccli.org) has lots of resources on this method. They also have a great book - The Art of Natural Family Planning. you start counting days from the first day of your period
but to tell when you ovulate you must know when your next period will start because every woman in existance ovulates 14 days BEFORE the first day of her NEXT period www.menstruation.com.au
