You can work out ovulation from your period length?? So how ling is your cycle? Are they regular?

Once you've worked out ovulation then it's easier to pinpoint when you need to x

thanks for replying mine are all over i can go 21 days before my next period then sometimes 28 and i can be late and when they arrive i think the longest they last is 3-4 days that varies though x

Cycle day (CD) 1 is the 1st day of your period - so if your period lasts 4 days then 21 days before next you have a 25 day cycle! Lucky you as mine are 30-38!!

You will ovulate usually about a wk after your period has finished- around CD 12 but will have fertile wk from CD 9 to 15

Best way to pinpoint ovulation is by ovulation prediction kits - can get really cheap on eBay x

Hello

My cycle is quite regular, so I know roughly when I ovulate, but I still buy cheap ovulation sticks from e-bay which do tell me that I am about to ovulate. They are quite cheap and they do work.

One thing that never fails for me though is for about 3 days before I ovulate I get discharge down below that is very slippery and looks like raw egg-white. When I get that I know it is time to go for it!

If your cycle is all over the place it is best to either have sex every other day or to test with the ovulation sticks.

Hope this helps
