Counting Your Menstrual Cycle


A very basic way to predict ovulation is to count the days of the menstrual cycle. A woman�s menstrual cycle begins on the first day of bleeding. Begin counting from that day and count the days until the next period. This is a woman�s menstrual cycle. Ovulation usually occurs somewhere between the 11th to 14th day during the cycle. If your menstrual cycle is regular, obviously it will be easier to determine when ovulation will begin. If your cycle is irregular, it may be best to determine your cycle by counting the days a few different times, to get a better grasp of just how irregular your cycle is.
Another simple method to determine ovulation is to monitor the body temperature. During ovulation, the body temperature can rise. Though not significantly, a basal body temperature thermometer can measure the subtle increase and then let you know when ovulation is occurring. It is important to know that this method will only let you know when you are ovulating, and will not be able to predict ovulation. But if you couple this with counting the days in the menstrual cycle, you will be able to more accurately predict your ovulation cycle.
