Cycles from 23-28days - Help me find out when I ovulate!

[ShineyHappyPeople]

I'm trying to work out when I ovulate but I still haven't got the hang on it

I've been recording my period dates since January and here are the gaps between each one:

Jan to Feb - 24 days
Feb to Mar - 26 days
Mar to Apr - 23 days
Apr to May - 28 days
May to Jun - 27 days
Jun to July - 25 days

I usually go to http://www.babycentre.co.uk/tools/ovu/ and put in "28 days" so I can see my estimated ovulation days but Im not regularly 28 days anymore. I have literally had 6 different cycle lengths so I don't know how to predict my ovulation.

Based on a cycle of 23 days, my ovulation week would start 11th July.
Based on a cycle of 28 days, my ovualtion week would start 16th July.

How do I tell when it is? I can almost guarantee that I will have tinges / ewcm on & off for those 2 weeks so I can never tell. Should I get a few ovualtion sticks or what?

We're ttc next month but I want to know what to watch out for when the time comes so this month I want to try ad pinpoint when it happens.

im in the same position right now and the only advice i can give is bd every 2 days anyway. if your cycle varies from 24 -28 i would think the first 2 weeks is vital to you.

well i always thought I was on a 28 day cycle but when I looked it seems to be a 26 day cycle... this month tho I have had a very weird AF so havent a clue whats going on... I know when I thought I was on a 28 day cycle I was testing using OV test strips and got a positive within the time window that they said I would for 28 days so Im very

This month im going to test during from my 26 day and the 28 day OV window I think and along with BDing every other day Im hoping I will catch me egg this month

hope that makes sense

Why don't you start charting your temperature? I'm gonna start next cycle and then will be able to pinpoint ov exactly.

I tried that but I was useless at doing it at the right time. I'd wake up and go to the loo and think I've done it again, I didn't take my temperature first lol

Yeah I suppose thats what it boils down to. BD every other day regardless

I can't wait to start!
