Question

i checked on babycenter.com and it said that i would be ovulating august 17-22. but i checked on mymonthlycycles.com and it said that i would be ovulating august 20-25. which one do i go by or can someone tell me when i would be ovulating? my last period was august 4th.

Answer 1

You will not an exact answer.  Really you will find that temp charting or even using OPK will be more accurate then gestimating. It NEVER worked for me because you can ovulate at different days of the month every month.

Answer 2

i went to those sites also both where wrong i ovulated way after my suppose to be dates.you have to know how to check for cervical mucus and bbt.good luck

Answer 3

You should not rely on those ovulation calculators online.  They are drawn generalizations based upon other women, and every woman is different!  You need to buy ovulation predictor kits, and use those instead, or learn to chart your basal body temperature each day.  http://www.fertilityfriend.com can be so helpful in learning how to do this!

Only you can learn your body's patterns, not a website!  Good luck!

Answer 4

Ovulation usually happens on a specific date, not in a range of dates, and you need to know not only the first day of your last period but especially the average number of cycle days. It's not always 28 days.

Ovulation then happens about 14 days before the next expected period.

According to BabyMed for an average cycle length of 28 days and LMP on 8/4 ovulation should take place on or about 8/18.

Answer 5

around the 18th
