hunnyicious Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Ovulation usually takes place 14 days after the beginning of your menstrual cycle. The time of ovulation within the menstrual cycle is determined by the luteal phase (luteal phase is also referred to as 'days past ovulation' or 'DPO', is the part of the cycle that starts at ovulation and ends the day before your next period. It usually lasts about 14 days and does not vary by more than a day in each person.) which is usually 12 to 16 days long. You can calculate the time of ovulation within your cycle by subtracting the length of your luteal phase from the length of your cycle. For example, if your cycle is 28 days long and your luteal phase is 12 days long, the ovulation will occur on day 16 of your cycle (28-12=16). The exact time of ovulation may vary within your cycle, because ovulation can be delayed by a number of factors such as stress, illness, diet, or increased physical activity. Quote Link to comment
Day_Walker Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Ovulation can vary from girl to girl, If you want to chart your ovulation then you need to do some research and actually find out when you ovulate. Quote Link to comment
