Hi,

Ovulation occurs between days 10-14 for most women - day 1 being the first day of your period... so work our 10 days from 21st feb. but to be on the safe side i'd probably try to do some days earlier and some later...depends on how often you want to do it i guess! there are some websites that work out when you're likely to ovulate depending on your cycle. might be worth trying to find one of those. i'm sure someone will correct me if i'm wrong - lots of knowledgeable women on this site!

Agree with above post, but I used to feel when I was ovulating as I would get a bit of an ache on alternative sides. I also calculated when I was ovulating my counting on from the date of my last perion and tried having sex 10-14 days after, but did do it in-between as all women vairy!

A doctor's advice on a show once said that doing it about 3 times a week is best if you want to give yourself the best chance, but every doctor/expert might think differently!

Good luck and happy trying!!!!!

If by "i am 32 in my monthly cycle" you mean that your cycle is 32 days long you might be fertile slightly later than the standard days 10-14. This is based on a 28 day cycle. Ovulation usually occurs 14 days before the end of the cycle, so for a 32 day cycle this would be day 18. No harm in starting to "try" on day 10, but you may want to carry on until day 19/20.
