When Does Ovulation Occur?

Ovulation FAQs

For most women ovulation occurs around mid-cycle, which is approximately day 15 of a 28-day menstrual cycle. You start counting from the first day of your period. It’s best to track your cycle in order to calculate your mid-cycle date, as not everyone will have an exact 28-day menstrual cycle.
