Generally there are three different ways you can track your ovulation cycle. This article will be focusing on the easiest way of them all, counting days. When you begin to count your days, you will also begin to see a trend in the way your body goes through its natural cycles.Grab a pen and a calendar and get ready for this tedious process.

When to Start Tracking
The first day of a woman’s period is EXACTLY 14 days after your ovulation cycle regardless of your ethnicity. So mark the date that you start your period, and count backwards 14 days, then mark that date as the last ovulation cycle. The number of days between ovulation and the start of a woman’s period is pretty consistent among all women. It’s the opposite that has its dramatic differences. The number of days between the start of the period and the next ovulation cycle varies among all women every month.

Who
This method is very effective on women who have a pretty consistent cycle (30 day cycle). Women whose cycles aren’t regular, or miss periods will more than likely receive unreliable information. Start with a three month time line, you should be able to see a trend by then. Also, it’s a known fact that sex every other day during the ovulation period increases your chances of becoming pregnant.
