Basal body temperatu: Some women will measure basal body temperature to determine when they ovulate. They might notice an increase in BBT a day after ovulation http://www.fertilityfriend.com/courses/lesson.php?p=1;7;0;0. If trying to conceive, start taking prenatal vitamin now to lower risk of neural tube defects. See Reproductive Endocrinologist if unable to conceive after 12mo active attempts.
