Women tend to ovulate two weeks before their next period is due to begin. As the cycle varies between different women, this would usually mean that ovulation takes place anywhere between days 10 and 18 of the menstrual cycle, counting day one as the first day of your menstrual flow, but there are no hard and fast rules that you can apply here.
Do be aware, however, that although you will usually hear that a woman ovulates somewhere around the middle of her monthly cycle, a woman generally starts the ovulation process during the last day of her menstruation or sometimes the day after that. This means that you could become pregnant as soon as your period ends; there really is no totally "safe" time to have unprotected sex.
There are various ways to determine if you are ovulating or not. If you observe that the cervical mucus appears clear and slippery, then it is a a sign that you are probably fertile. Another way to determine ovulation is tracking your body temperature. If it increases by 1 degree, it means that you are likely to be fertile.
Alternatively, using an ovulation kit is often seen as a more precise tool to calculate ovulation. Ovulation calculators can also used if you are having regular periods.
For a woman with a cycle that is exactly 28 days, ovulation will usually occur 14 days before the start of her next menstrual period, which is exactly 14 days after the start of her last menstrual period. However, since many women don't have a period that lasts exactly 28 days, it can be somewhat difficult to know when ovulation does occur. One common misconception about when ovulation occurs is that it will always occur exactly 14 days after the start of their menstrual period. The fact of the matter is, it is more accurate to say that ovulation will occur approximately 14 days before the start of the next menstrual period. Thus, if a woman has a cycle that typically lasts 32 days, she will ovulate on day 18 following the start of her last menstrual period, rather than on day 14 following her last menstrual period.
