go to http://www.mymonthlycycles.com and put in your period info and it will calculate when you will be fertile and ovulating.
A woman is usually able to get pregnant for about 5 days each month, when ovulation occurs. On average, ovulation occurs 12 to 16 days before the menstrual period begins.
The key to becoming pregnant is determining when ovulation will occur.
Because sperm can live for 3 to 5 days in a woman’s reproductive tract, it is possible to become pregnant if intercourse occurs several days before ovulation.
This tool should not be used to prevent pregnancy.
Your menstrual cycle begins with the first day your period starts and ends the day before your next period starts. If you do not know the number of days in your menstrual cycle, use 28 days, which is the average length of a menstrual cycle.
If you want to determine the length of your cycle, use a calendar to track it. Some women have longer or shorter cycles.
While women usually ovulate at day 15, it’s also normal to ovulate well before or after the 15-day mark. This calculator is therefore meant to give you a rough estimate.
The American Infertility Association (AIA) has issued a set of recommendations to help couples identify a woman's "fertile time," the period each month when she is most likely to be able to conceive.
The guidelines are in response to recent studies showing that 98% of women do not know how to identify their most fertile time, and 20% of couples who seek treatment for infertility are not timing intercourse correctly.
Sperm can survive for several days inside a woman's reproductive tract (waiting for the egg), but an egg can only survive for up to 24 hours after ovulation. This is the woman's "fertile time."
The AIA suggests that women consider using several simple, non-invasive procedures to help identify their most fertile time, including:
* chart your menstrual cycles on a calendar to determine the days they are most likely to ovulate
* take your temperature (which rises during ovulation) each morning during the week that ovulation is most likely to occur
* monitor your cervical mucus during the month (the consistency changes for several days each month to allow sperm to enter the fallopian tubes) and
* use a fertility monitor to measure the levels of estrogen and luteinizing hormone (LH) in your urine, which can also indicate that ovulation has occurred
The guidelines are available on the AIA Web site at www.americaninfertility.org

It depends on the length of your cycle, and if it is regular. But it the time of your ovulation. There are kits that are sold that help you determine when it happens, they are usually sold by the pregnancy test.
Best time is about 14 days before your next period. But that's hard to predict, and not every cycle is the same. Nor is every person the same. An egg lasts only one day, but sperm can live a couple of days.
well here maybe this will help

It depends on how old you are. If you're 24 or under there's a high channce that you could ovulate twice in a month. If not theres a 3day window for sure in the middle of your cycle - however this is really more like 5 days. They say 3 days because this is when you're at optimum fertility - however there is one or two days either side of this where the egg is just emerging or conversely not at its freshest. Also remember that sperm can survive in the uterus for up to 72 hours. You never can tell!
