For most women, between each period is a time spam of 28 days roughly. Yours could be shorter or longer.
14 days before your expected period you ovulate (release and egg)
This is known to be the best time for trying for a baby because the egg is ready to be fertilized.
If the egg isn't fertilized you will have your period 14 days later.
So the answer to your question is before.

Can you ovulate before you period?
ovulation normally occurs about 2 weeks before your period actually starts. The purpose of a period is a direct relation to the release of an egg during ovulation. The egg will be released from the falopian tubes and enter the uterus (ovulation). Once the egg sits in the uterus for several days if it is not penetrated by sperm the body will reject it by causing contractions of the uterus to release the egg. This is when your period occurs as your uterus is "washing" out the egg from the uterus. So....yes...ovulation always occurs before your period.
Why have I got period pains when I am not due?
When you're ovulating, your body is producing the egg prior to you getting your period. Therefore, you might have cramps before getting your period because your uterus is contracting to prepare for the egg to leave your body.
Is it possible to release a egg 1 day before your period starts?
It's possible to have bleeding a day after ovulation, but unlikely to have a "real" period a day after releasing an egg.
Why are you more likely to get pregnant when you are on your period?
You are very unlikely to get pregnant during your period as the ovum (egg) was released two weeks before and will have passed out of the body long before and the lining of the uterus (which the fertilised egg embeds in) is no longer there.
Cramping and spotting before period?
It is your body's way of preparing for your period. The cramping should only happen at least two or three days before you start your period. If you don't start, it may have been your body releasing an egg. The spotting, is very normal. Again, your body is preparing for your period.
Sex 2 days before period?
You can get pregnant if you have sex 2 days before your period. Take a pregnancy test if you miss your period. It all depends on when you ovulate (release an egg). If you ovualte 2 days before your period then you are most likely to get pregnant then.
How do you get the period?
well, to start off, before you ovulate (or release an egg) your body (particularly below the waist and above the legs) builds up a thick layer of blood and tissue to support the egg if it is fertilized. That happens 2-3 weeks before your period. The egg sticks to the "build-up" and waits to be fertilized. If the fertilization happens than the egg stays and grow for 9 months and you have a well cooked baby. If the fertilization does not happen than you release the egg and the blood and tissue out through the vagina making your period. This period can last for 3-9 days. At first you may spot, but usually your flow is heavy than decreases over time.
What can trigger period?
The body's rejection of the egg.
What starts period?
A woman's internal 'body clock' controls her menstrual cycle. Her body is 'programmed' to release an egg at regular intervals (28 days) in preparation for fertilization. The womb is also prepared to receive the egg IF it's fertilized. If the egg does not meet a sperm, the body 'empties' the womb of its lining (and the unfertilized egg).
How soon can you release and egg after period?
They say any women can release an egg 10-14 days from the day your period stops,but not all women are the same.
Can you see the egg in your menstrual cycle?
No. The egg disintegrates before the menstrual period.
What happens to the uterus wall before the release of an egg?
After the release of an egg, the uterus will form a thick lining of blood within its wall in preparation for the implantation of a fertilized egg in the wall of the uterus. If the egg will not be fertilized, the thick lining of blood with exit the body in the process of menstruation.
