How do i know ovulation period of a woman???


Answers:

Women ovulate exactly 14 days before the first day of her period. So if a woman keeps track of her cycle she would be calculate the approximate date of ovulation.
Also, you can tell when a woman is ovulating by the consistency and amount of her vaginal secretions.
The following is straight out of one of my textbooks:
"A woman reads her mucus by putting her fingers inside her vagina and noting the consistency of the secretions:
-After menstruation there are usually some "dry days" when there is no vaginal discharge on the vulva.
-When a yellow or white sticky discharge begins, unprotected coitus (intercourse) should be avoided.
-Several days later, the ovulatory mucus appears. It is clear, stringy, and stretchy in consistency, similar to egg white. A drop of this mucus will stretch between an open thumb and forefinger for at least 1 and 1/2 inches before breaking. A vaginal feeling of wetness and lubrication accompanies this discharge, which has a chemical balance and texture that facilitate the entry of sperm into the uterus.
-Approximately 4 days after the ovulatory mucus begins and 24 hours after a cloudy discharge resumes, it is considered safe to resume unprotected intercourse(Crooks/Baur, pg. 326)."
I hope this helps!
