Step 1
Make a customized ovulation calendar on your PC using basic calendar software or by printing physical calendars using a desktop publishing program. Keep in mind that you can calculate ovulation manually by taking the normal length of your cycle--from the start of one menstrual period to the beginning of the next--and counting backward approximately 14 days (the average luteal phase) from the expected beginning of the next cycle. If you have used several previous months' cycle information, then you may need to add or subtract a day or two based on the length of the average cycle length.

Step 2
Add space on your customizable ovulation calendar to track other physical characteristics such as fluctuations in weight or caloric intake, sleep or exercise patterns or blood pressure. Many desktop publishing and basic online calendar programs allow embedded objects such as tables and charts and spreadsheet links. When tracking other physical characteristics, use software that allows for auto-calculations, auto-text inputting and cell fields.

Step 3
Create an online ovulation calendar on your PC by registering for an ovulation calculator or calendar service such as MyMonthlyCycles or MyCycle. Another option: visit free non-registration websites such as LaborKit to instantly acquire three months of ovulation and cycle predictions. See Resources for links.
