How can you tell when you're ovulating?
Count back 12 to 16 days from the date that your next period is due to give you an approximate ovulation period. If your cycle is exactly 28 days, then day 14 will most likely be the day you are ovulating. If you have a 25 day cycle, you will mostly likely ovulate on day 11, whereas if you have a 35 day cycle, ovulation most likely occurs on day 21. This method will probably not be much help if your cycle is not regular. If you find you are having trouble detecting when you are ovulating, talk to your doctor who can give further advice.
