Average rating:
Every woman is different. The average cycle is 28 days. But many healthy, fertile women will have a cycle slightly shorter or longer than this so won't necessarily ovulate on day 14. So, if yours isn't spot on 28 days, don't worry. It doesn't mean there's a problem with your fertility.
When you ovulate depends on the due date of your next period and not the previous one. Eg: If your cycle regularly lasts 31 days, you should ovulate on day 17. So if you have sex on your prime fertile days, between days 14 and 17, you have a good chance of falling pregnant. Confused? Try our ovulation date calculator.
