Ovulation is a stage of the menstrual cycle and it is important to differentiate between regular and irregular menstrual cycles.
For women who have regular 28-day menstrual cycles, ovulation will occur on day 14 of the cycle, i.e. 14 days after their period.
For women with irregular menstrual cycles, however, it is difficult to know when ovulation will occur based on the previous cycle alone, as it can be earlier or later.
For this reason, one way of detecting the time of ovulation is by means of tests sold in pharmacies that measure the amount of the hormone LH. This hormone increases considerably when ovulation is about to occur.
