Ovulation: Ovulation occurs anywhere from 7 to 21 after the onset of menses, depending on the individual. Use an ovulation prediction kit to test for your day.

A member asked:

I stopped taking birth control on 6/30. My withdrawal bleeding began 7/4 or 7/5. I had what seemed to be egg white like cm on 7/14. Is it possible that was the beginning of ovulation even though I have not had a natural period?
