Things You'll Need:
- first day of your last period
- average cycle length

Step 1
The first thing you will need to calculate when you will ovulate and increase your likelihood of getting pregnant is the first day of your last period. Make sure to record the first day and not the last. This small mistake can cause you to miss the time you are ovulating. You will also need to know the average length of you menstrual cycle to calculate when you will ovulate. If you are not sure, record the first day of your cycle and wait until you get your next period. Then you will have an accurate amount of days to calculate when you will ovulate.

Step 2
Once you have that information, the easiest way to calculate when you will ovulate is to go to the website http://www.babycenter.com/ovulation-calculator and enter in the date of the first day of your last period and your cycle length. Then click calculate.

Step 3
Once you click calculate, you will have calculated when you will ovulate. For example, if your last cycle was on February 15, 2009 and your cycle is 30 days, you will ovulate between Saturday, February 28, 2009 to Thursday, March 5, 2009. This is the time you are most fertile and most likely to get pregnant. Mark the days in a calendar and return monthly to calculate when you will ovulate to increase your chances every month.
