Do women tend to ovulate 14 days after your period or 14 days before the next one?

Actually, ovulation doesn't have to be in the middle of the cycle, and it doesn't have to be 14 days before your period. You should read Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler so you can chart or read your body's signs about ovulation. The day in your cycle in which you ovulate can vary. However, the luteal phase (time period from ovulation to your period) is usually the same. Various factors can delay ovulation, but again, the luteal phase generally remains constant.
