Ovulation time

The Luteal Phase
is the time between the time of ovulation and the first day of your next period. This period is the same every month for all women but may vary from person to person. The luteal phase is about 15 days for most people but for others it can be 16, 17 or even a few as 14 days. The luteal phase is always regular, even if the woman has irregular cycles.

When is the best time to get Pregnant?

Ovulation Time

The Post Ovulation time is the time after ovulation has occured and before the start of your period. It is known as the LUTEAL PHASE and is sometimes also referred to as the Post Ovulation Time.

The luteal phase of all women is fixed and for most it last exactly 14 days. A small percentage of women have a luteal phase of 13 or 12 days and some of 15 or 16 but the in the vast majority it is always 14 days long every single month (even for those with irregular cycles).

This can be quite revealing because for those of you who do have an irregular cycle then the only 'irregular' part is the time before ovulation occurs. Once you have ovulated then, assuming that you have not become pregnant you will have your period exactly 14 days later (or whatever the your personal length of luteal phase.)

If you have been recording your cycle for a few months then you should be able to count back and see exactly when you ovulated.
