I am so relieved to see so many more people understanding their own cycles

you need to test with OPKs or chart temps/cervical fluid

thanks scary. I have heard of that and when I was trying for DS I did notice a difference but this time not so much. I will pay closer attention. Am worried I am not ovulating.

Eenybeeny, I have a 24/5 day cycle and I ovulate around day 15 giving me a luteal phase of 9 - 10 days. I don't think it's an exact science to be honest and I do get frustrted by the assumption that a person ovulates 14 days before their period, it's certainly not the case for me.

It's hard to say.

An average which is often quoted is that most women ovulate 12-16 days before the first day of their period. If that average applied for you, you would be ovulating between days 9-13 after the first day of your previous cycle.
Have you heard about looking for differences in your cervical fluid? When you wipe and it is stretchy and like raw egg white, this is fertile fluid (which helps sperm). You can have patches of this "EWCM" through your cycle, but many women have quite a bit around when they ovulate. When it disappears, that is because you have already ovulated. This might be a useful non-invasive way for you to figure out when you normally ovulate.
