Need help understanding ovulation

[hercurvestofear.livejournal.com]

I'm attempting to understand ovulation but my brain isn't cooperating. A couple sites have different info and omg just help. lol. I want to understand and be able to track my cycle. Does my cycle start the first day or last day of my period? When am I most likely to get pregnant? I am on birth control and use condoms with my boyfriend, I just want to know really. Asked mother dearest but her answer was "I had three kids from 17 to 22 you think I know?" silly lady. So yes, wonderful women of this community...educate a girl!!


Thanks and love!

Your cycle starts on the first day of your period. However, if you are on birth control, you don't ovulate, so you are no likelier to get pregnant on one day of the month than any other.

Thank you! That simplifies the hell out of things. lol

I felt stupid asking, but I figured this was a good place to go if I was being uneducated.
