If you are not tracking your bbt - that would help since everyones cycle is different. A dip in your bbt can indicate ovulation. You can also track your CM [cervical mucus] which "Egg white" consistency means fertile days normally. You could potentially ovulate anytime between day 7 and day 13. If you ovulate after day 13 the likeliness of getting pregnant goes down because your luteal phase is too short [needs to be at least 10 days]. I hope this helps and baby dust!

Everybody is different so there is no way to say without more informatin. It's a good idea to chart your BBT to see when you O. Your luteal phase will usually always be the same length. My cycles are anywhere from 30-38 days, but no matter how long the cycle is, 13 DPO AF arrives. The first phase of your cycle could be very short, meaning you ovulate sooner, or your luteal phase could be short. If your luteal phase is too short it's difficult to conceive without medical help, so it would be best to BBT chart now, so that if there are any problems they become obvious quickly.

I agree with the PP that charting your BBT is a great idea. Especially because you have such a short cycle. I would also invest in some OPKs. Start using them the day you finish your monthly period. That way you can catch O before it happens. Keep temping so you can confirm O. Fertility Friend is a great resource.
Good Luck!
