♥♥♥♥♥♥The name is Leah. I live in Cincinnati, OH. I really love to give advice! I have been here since November of 2004. But prior to joining here, I was always been seeked for advice. Still to this day, my primary concern is always helping someone out in need.
I am likely not the best columnist here, but I can quarantee I am very dedicated and concerned when I answer a question. If I answer a question you're not satisfied with, I will ask why, so I can try my best to change my answer. I only give people information that I know; not information that I might know. And if I notice a columnist giving you a wrong answer, you'll know I'll be correcting their response!!
I do allow everyone and anyone to ask a question. I may have listed favorite categories, but I really have no preference. I do love making new friends!! It's no problem to contact me by e-mail or IM. I do have a Myspace, and I will gladly give it out if asked! If you ever need advice, if you feel like ending it all, if you feel like no one cares, I am here!! Talk to me.. I will listen and I will help you!!

advice
I am trying to calculate when I ovulate, and I keep being asked for my luteal phase. I have never heard of this before, and when I try to look it up it is defined as starting the day after you ovulate. If I knew when I was ovulating then I wouldn't be trying to calculate it.
I am so confused, and could really use a very simple explanation as to how to calculate my Luteal phase so that I can calculate when I will be ovulating.
Thank you so much!
oh if it helps my menstrual cycle is 27 days, and my last period was january 13th 2010 and it ended January 19th 2010.
I just started my period again today, february 9th 2010.
I appreciate any help you might be able to give.. thanks in advance.
I know how you feel. Especially when you're trying to conceive you see everywhere that you need to know your Luteal phase to know when you are ovulating, and you can't even figure out when exactly you are ovulating in the first place.
The previous columnist is right, but I saw your question so I wanted to add to their answer.
There are free online tests to calculate your ovulation. Just know the date of the first day or your last period. It will give you an estimate of when you will ovulate. The whole 14 day thing is the average for a woman with a 28-day cycle. Realistically, not all women have a 28 day cycle. I don't even have that cycle. Some have 30 days cycles, so how can you go about figuring your luteal phase?
There are kits at your local pharmacy to help you. There are kits to help you with finding your LH surge, a hormone during ovulation. Track your basal temperature, and track your periods for about 6 months. From the time you ovulate to the time of your period is usually your luteal phase.
You can also see your Ob/gyn to get a more precise number. You said your cycle is about 27 days anyway, so your phase would probably be 13, not 14.
If you are trying to conceive, all these things on your luteal phase can be confusing. Your Ob/Gyn is always there if you need assistance about ovulation and conceiving. If you just need to know for other reasons, keeping track can also help.
If you are uninsured like me, and you're having problems with reproduction or hormones, seek a clinic like I did, and they'll provide information on how to gain better knowledge about your body.
I hope I helped.
