I get my period every five weeks plus 2-3 days.
Do I ovulate somewhere midway between starting each period?

Oh that's not an easy answer... "typically" women tend to O about 12-14 days before your period starts.. but could be shorter or longer... have you ever tried charting your cycle?

No... but I just noticed the chart sticky so I'll check that out...
Thanks!

It's hard to say when you o'd without charting your basil body temps, but typically your luteal phase or LP (the days between o-ing and getting your period) lasts 12-14 days. There are many moms who have a less-than 10 day LP and some have a 16-day LP. so that's why it's hard to say when you o'd. Chances are you o somewhere in the 3rd-4th week of your cycle.

Check out the book Taking Control of Your Fertility which will give you lots of information on cycles work and instructions on BBT's and other signs of ovulation. It's our "bible" around here.

Let us know if you have any more questions!!

ETA: WOW! In the few minutes it took me to type this you already had an answer and you replied!! I'm too slooooow

Thanks again! I just set up a chart at Fertility Friend. Now I need to find a thermometer... When do I check my temp? Every morning? I guess I need to get that book...
