How many days after my period do I ovulate?

Question

Accepted Answer

It depends on your cycle length. For a 28-day cycle (with a 5-day period), ovulation typically occurs about 9 days after your period ends. For a 30-day cycle, approximately 11 days after. For a 35-day cycle, roughly 16 days after. The shorter your cycle, the sooner your fertile window arrives after menstruation.
