“How do I figure out when I am ovulating?”

With a normal menstrual cycle, ovulation usually occurs around 10 to 16 days before your period starts, so you may be able to work out when you're likely to ovulate. Paying close attention to your body can also provide helpful information regarding your ovulation. Examining your cervical mucus can give information regarding ovulation. Before ovulation, your cervical mucus may be dry or sticky. Closer to ovulation, it may take on a creamier consistency. Right before ovulation, your cervical mucus may take on a slippery consistency, similar to a raw egg white.
Your  basal body temperature (BBT)  can also tell you when ovulation is approaching. A special BBT thermometer can be used to measure your temperature to the tenth degree. An increase of about 0.4 degrees Fahrenheit higher than your normal temperature can indicate ovulation.
There are also secondary signs of ovulation, which may not be present in all women in a consistent manner. These include:
Slight spotting
Abdominal pain
Breast tenderness
Bloating
Increased sex drive
If you’ve been charting your basal body temperature and tracking ovulation, but you still haven’t gotten pregnant, it may be time to see a specialist. Current medical guidelines suggest you should consult a fertility doctor if:
You’re a woman under the age of 35 who has been trying to conceive for one year with well-timed intercourse.
You’re a woman over the age of 35 who has been trying for six months without success.

Easiest way is with an ovulation kit, however you can time it by subtracting 14 days from your cycle length. You can also chart your temperature with a thermometer. When you see a jump in your temperature over your baseline, that is a sign for ovulation-basal body temperature chart.

Hi,

There are a couple of ways to do it. First of all, there are apps that you can use that can track your periods. Based on how regular your periods are, you can predict when you will ovulate. This is especially the case if you have very regular periods. You can supplement this with ovulation kits that you can buy at the drug store. As long as you follow the directions on the kit, it is a very good predictor of ovulation. You can also check your vaginal discharge to check how viscous the discharge is. You can look on the Internet to see how to do that.
I hope that this helps.

The best way to figure out when you are ovulating is to discuss your cycle with your gynecologist. If you have a regularly timed cycle, you ovulate 14 days BEFORE your period starts (not 14 days after). You can get a better sense of this by keeping track of the first day of your cycle for several months. Once you know how long your cycle is (26 days, 28 days, 31 days), you can figure out when you are ovulating. A woman with a 26 day cycle will be ovulating on Day #12. A woman with a 31 day cycle will be ovulating on Day #17. If your cycle is not regular, you should see your gynecologist because you should be evaluated to determine why you are not regular. Once you know when you are ovulating, you should know that you can get pregnant by having sex up to four days before and up to four days after ovulation. You should never rely solely on ovulation prediction for contraception. Sometimes ovulation will occur early -- and you won't know that until your next period comes.

There are urine tests and also apps.
