Is it that Period starts on the 14th day after ovulation happens, whatever the length of the cycle be???

The date of ovulation will depend upon the length of your cycle. Ovulation can occur in a 28 day cycle anywhere from day 10 to day 14. If the cycle is shorter, it will be sooner, if the cycle is longer, it will be later. The best way to know is to plot your individual cycles, and determine when you 'normally' ovulate. Of course, sperm can also live ~ 5 days, so this will make a difference also. here is alot of great information on this web site, so look for it to explain what you want to know.
