Re: novice questions
About 6 months prior to TTC I started to chart my cycle length. The first day of AF is day 1 of your cycle. And you would then count the days until your next AF. Ovulation usually occurs 12 to 14 days prior to AF's arrival. So if you have a 28 day cycle you would most likely ovulate around days 14-16. If your cycle is slightly longer, then you would ovulate later. IE: if you have a 32 day cycle you would ovulate around days 18 to 20. You could also chart your temperature but I am not familiar with that process.
I am not sure how you determine if you are ovulating or not. I would think after several months of TTC if you haven't conceived a DRs visit might be able to tell you if you are ovulating or not.
