Ovulation does not occur in relation to the previous period, but rather to the next period. You will ovulate 14 days prior to the start of your next menstrual cycle. This means, then, that if you have a 28-day cycle, you will ovulate roughly 14 days after your period, and 14 days prior to the start of your next period. If you have a 31 day cycle, however, you will ovulate roughly 17 days after your period, and, again, 14 days prior to the start of your next period. If you are trying to conceive, you should begin to have intercourse roughly 4-5 days prior to ovulation, as the sperm can live in the body for about 5 days.
If they don't breastfeed, most women begin to ovulate again about four to six weeks after having their baby. Ovulation can occur before a woman has her first period after childbirth. Women who breastfeed usually don't begin to ovulate again until five to six months after the baby is born. Every woman is different, however, and ovulation may begin again at different times. To avoid an unwanted pregnancy, use birth control after having a baby even if you haven't started having your period again.
