Answer
Ovulation generally occurs in the middle of your cycle.  Without doing the NFP charting of your signs and symptoms of ovulation, the rule of thumb is that ovulation is about 10-14 days before your next period starts.  Since your cycles are either 29 - 32 days long, you would ovulate anytime after day 15 until about day 22.  So those would be the best days to try to get pregnant.  Actually, starting with day 13 since sperm can live quite a few days inside your body but the egg only lives one day.
