isn't it usually 14 days before your period starts?

I believe the period between ovulation and the start of your period is called the leutal phase. For successful conception the leutal phase has to be 10 days plus, something to do with the body having enough time for the egg to be able to implant.

I think my info is a bit shaky, so I would suggest you google leutal phase. Oh, and there are things that you can do to extend it.
