Normal time to ovulate?

Is 8 or 9 days after my AF normal to ovulate? Ttc and didnt think it came about this early. Because ive started tracking im noticing different things that ive normally not paid any attention to and they all point to ovulation.

Thank you for the very helpful info! My cycle is always 28 days. I am definitely planning on buying one of the ovulation kits and will start looking at temp! Thanks once again :)

I think it really depends on how long your cycle is. :)   First full day of flow is considered "cycle day 1".  I have a 31 day cycle.  Normal is considered 28 days, but not all women are like this.  Since I have a 31 day cycle I don't ovulate until around cycle day 17.  So if you have a 28 day cycle, you should ovulate around cycle day 14. If you're getting ovulation signs 8 -9 days after your AF, I'm assuming from your last day of AF?  Then that should be around cd 13-14, which is the usual. :)  How long does your AF normally last?  Mine is usually 5 full days.   Have you ever tried using opk's?  Ovulation predictor kits?   Sometimes they help and you can always check your basal body temp every morning.  They say that's a sure sign of ovulation or not.  Temp will be low before ovulation, then you'll see a dip (dip is sign OF ovulation) and then a spike the next day confirming ovulation.  BUT this is tricky..you have to temp at same time EVERY morning..Before you get out of bed, before you do anything.  You pratically wake up, check the temp and then move around lol.  Anyways, sorry for blabbering so much.  Best of luck to you!!  If you're still curious about anything, please feel free to ask. :)
