Counting question

I am not sure how to figure out my ovulation calendar. I had a D and C on Feb 22. Got 1st AF onMar. 30 which was 36 days later. Received 2nd AF on Apr. 22 which was 24 days later. Do I
a) just use my old cycle which was 24-27 days or
b) average out these two which is 30, which seems highly unlikely

Any input would be greatly appreciated!!

Re: Counting question

my cycles (the first time around) were 27-36 days! I read all sorts of things: average it out, subtract 12 days from the longest cycle, etc. What I did was do the ovulation calculator with both the shortest and longest cycles, and then added a few days of BD on both ends (so I started BD earlier and finished later). Apparebtly it worked b/c we ended up PG that first month!

Re: Counting question

Day one, is your first day of AF full flow. It doesn't matter how long your cycle was last. You have to start each cycle fresh. If you are using a website to enter your data for charting, they will ask you, your longest cycle and your shortest. I would start using opks.....pretty soon after AF.......since your usual ovulation may be off......and you don't want to miss it.
