Yes, : Yes, if your cycle is longer (from start of one...To start of the next) then you typically will ovulate later. Counting is one method but nowadays you can easily obtain ovulation prediction tests from a rite-aid or cvs. These will indicate when you are going to ovulate. If all tests are negative you probably are not ovulating regularly and may benefit from treatment.

Typically: you want day 1 as first day of full red flow.
