On period since aug2 with bleeding getting lighter. when should i expect to ovulate?

Too long: You've been bleeding since August 2nd? Not certain when you wrote this question, but if you've been bleeding for 3 weeks, you should consider seeing ob/gyn to discuss your prolonged menses. Typically due to hormones, but could also be a polyp or fibroid or endometriosis, for example. See a doctor for evaluation and treatment as you wouldn't want to miss anything.
