It depends if you are wanting to get pregnant or avoid pregnancy. If you are trying to avoid pregnancy I think you have to be very careful with your contraception and not use the 'safe' period. If you are trying to get pregnant don't worry, my cycle was like this and I got pregnant the first month. You just have to have lots of sex over 2 weeks. Problem, what problem?
One of the methods to predict ovulation is calendar method. You just check you menstrual cycle and calculate ovulation. e.g. If you have a 28-day cycle, ovulation starts around the 14th day of the menstrual cycle. I use this calendar http://www.ladys-calendar.com. and it helps me to know days of ovulation.
To calculate for the exact ovulation day, you need to use an ovulation calculator. But first you have to know when is the date of your last period's first day and your menstrual cycle, before you can calculate your most fertile period. You can also observe your cervical mucus discharge if it has a consistency similar with a raw egg white. When your ovulating, it should look slippery and clear. You may also use an ovulation kit, which is a precise method of determining the most fertile days.
Although the exact day varies from person to person, usually the day of ovulation can be calculated by subtracting 14 days from the date of the last day of a woman's menstrual cycle.
If you are asking what it means, it's when the ovaries release eggs to be fertilized by sperm, which results in pregnancy. If you are asking when ovulation occurs, it's half-way through your cycle. For example, if you start your period every 28 days, then 14 days after the first day of your period is when you ovulate. Ovulation can last anywhere from a day to several days, it varies with each woman.
Ovulation occurs 14 days after the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP), if you are on a 28 day cycle.Since many women do not have regular periods, ovulation may occur anywhere from 10 to 17 days after the first day of the LMP.If you are regular, but not on a 28-day cycle, ovulation will occur at midway through your cycle ie (14th day on a 28 day cycle, 17th day on a 34 day cycle, etc). Remember that this day is according to how many days after the first day of your LMP.
Ovulation occurs during the ovulation phase, typically this is 14 days into the menstrual cycle. Multiple eggs may be released during a 24 hour period but at most there'll only be a viable egg present for up to 48 hours.
The menstrual cycle typically lasts about 28 days. Ovulation, when an egg is released from the ovary, usually occurs around day 14 of the cycle.
While on the pill you don't have an ovulation cycle - the pill prevents ovulation. Once off the pill you can start tracking ovulation by cervical mucus changes and charting your menstrual cycle. Ovulation happens about 14 days prior to menstruation.
The typical time difference between ovulation and menstruation in the menstrual cycle is around 14 days.
You can calculate your ovulation period. It's begins around the 14th day of the menstrual cycle If you have a 28-day cycle. Use a simple calendar to mark the day your periods begin each month and track the number of days each period lasts. There are many ovulation calendars e.g. I use this one http://www.ladys-calendar.com
The time of ovulation differs for each woman, but on average, it occurs between Days 11 and 21 of their cycle.
Yes, you can ovulate three weeks after your period. Typically ovulation occurs two weeks before your period, if you have a very long cycle then that could be three weeks after your last period.
