Uncertainty about ovulation can have some consequences on your fertility, so it's important to know how to determine when you're ovulating. In this article, we’ll look at some common questions about ovulation and how to solve them.

Ovulation refers to the time when eggs mature and are released from a woman's body, usually starting on the 14th day of a woman's menstrual cycle. Ovulation occurs several days before and after this day because the egg takes several days to mature and be released.

How to determine ovulation?
