How do you count your ovulation days?

Best Answers

Work out the length of your average menstrual cycle. Day one is the first day of the menstrual period and the last day is the day before the next period begins. Ovulation happens about two weeks before the next expected period. So if your average menstrual cycle is 28 days, you ovulate around day 14. read more

To calculate your ovulation by tracking your cervical mucus, keep a calendar and track your period and the length of time between each period for 8-12 months.

Your odds of getting pregnant are best when you have sex 1 to 2 days before you ovulate. But cycles vary in length, and some women are irregular or have miscalculated their cycle. Sperm can survive in a woman's body for up to 5 days. read more
