"Creating an ovulation calendar is pretty simple. The way to do this, is to just get any calendar you might have, and what you'll do with that, is you'll note on the calendar the days of your menstrual period, and you want to start with the first day of your menstrual period, so on whichever day that occurs, you write down number one, and what you can do, is just continue forward writing on every subsequent day, number two, number three, four, so on and so forth, and then when you have your next period, that again, will start the whole process over again, and you'll start with number one on that date. By doing this, you'll know what the length of your entire menstrual cycle is, and a normal cycle ranges between twenty five and thirty five days. If your cycle is either less or greater than that, there's something causing that, and you should probably seek out the help of a physician, to help figure that out, but if your cycle is within twenty five and thirty five days, as most are, then usually the most common reason for creating an ovulation cycle, is trying to achieve pregnancy, so the next thing you want to figure out, is when you ovulate. Ovulation is the optimal time to become pregnant. That usually happens anywhere between thirteen and fifteen days, before the onset of your period, so what you do, is you create a calendar of writing down when you have your periods, and then you do that for several months, and then when you see a clear pattern, then, you can then extrapolate from that and go forward, and optimize the times when you would engage in intercourse, to try to achieve pregnancy."
