Sperm can live for a few days, so even if you have sex 2-3 days before ovulation, you can still get pregnant. You can start charting your cycles (try Fertility Friend website) and that will tell you WHEN you ovulated but cannot predict WHEN you will, as you will know you have ovulated based on your temperatures, by a dip in your temperature, followed by a sharp rise which stays the same for the rest of the cycle (the ‘luteal phase’ of your cycle, which is from ovulation until your next period).
