Hi Anonymous,
Thank you for your question and welcome to Empowher. Ovulation usually occurs around 14-20 days after you START your period although every woman in different. Your local grocery and pharmacy stores do carry ovulation tests and this will be extremely helpful. You will usually notice a mucas when you are ovulating (looks like white discharge). This is very common. Sperm can live in the body for up to 5 days so this is the best window of opportunity to become pregnant. It is common for couples to try for at least a year to become pregnant so take your time and enjoy this time.
