Ovulation and Ovaries Answer A5440

The ovulation occurs fourteen days before the start of the next period. If the length of your menstrual cycle does not vary, then it would be easy to calculate the day. Otherwise it might take other methods for determining ovulation. Certain of these methods include measuring the body temperature as well as hormonal laboratory tests.
