I learned years back how to chart when we were trying for our third child.
Anyway, It's pretty cut and dry and if you don't want to go through the trouble of temp daily, if your cycle is as reliable as the sun, then you can count back fourteen days from the day before yur period starts and that will let you figure out where in your cycle your ovulation falls. This isn't as reliable as the temp chart, but typically if it falls on the same day at least three cycles in a row, you can pretty much bank on it unless hormones change.
For example.. I'm a 28 day cycle. subtract 14 from 28. I ovulate on day 14.... someone that has a 30 day cycle would subtract 14 from that. Meaning ovulation occurred on day 16. Pretty simple and it's typically right if your are regular.
