Did I ovulate

I am needing some help. I am a little confused. I got my last period on May 4th and my cycle averages at about 31 days. On Sunday May 18th I felt ovulation pain. Does it mean I ovulated on Sunday? I am not sure how to pinpoint the day. I had sex on the 15th, the 18th and again today. I hope I have a chance this month.

If you are having another 31 days cycle, I would expect ovulation to take place between today and thurs, but most likely tomorrow. I would suggest you use OPKs (LH strips) to better predict when O will occur going forward if your cycle is not always a perfect 31 days. My cycle can vary anywhere from 26-39 days so I used OPKs and BBT charting along with cervical mucus position and tracking for several cycles until I got to know my body well enough to ditch the OPKs and charting and rely solely on my body signals. Remember that sperm can live for up to 5 days in fertile CM (although 2-3 is more common) and your egg only lasts between 12-24 hours so it's most important to BD before O occurs. if I were you I'd BD tonight, tomorrow and the next day to cover your basis.
