What is Ovulation and Why Track It?
Ovulation is the release of a mature egg from the ovary, typically occurring 14 days before your next menstrual period. Our calculator uses your last period date and cycle length to predict your ovulation date and fertile window. Tracking ovulation is essential for understanding your fertility, whether you're trying to conceive or avoid pregnancy. The fertile window includes the 5 days before ovulation plus ovulation day, when sperm can survive to fertilize the egg.

Frequently Asked Questions
When do I ovulate during my menstrual cycle?
Ovulation typically occurs 14 days before your next period, not 14 days after your last period. For a 28-day cycle, this is usually around day 14. Our calculator uses your cycle length to predict your specific ovulation date.
How long is the fertile window?
The fertile window is about 6 days: the 5 days before ovulation plus ovulation day. Sperm can survive up to 5 days in the female reproductive tract, while the egg survives about 24 hours after ovulation.
How accurate are ovulation calculators?
Ovulation calculators are most accurate for women with regular cycles. They provide estimates based on average cycle patterns. For irregular cycles, tracking additional signs like basal body temperature or cervical mucus improves accuracy.
What if I have irregular menstrual cycles?
Irregular cycles make prediction less accurate. Our calculator includes an option for irregular cycles and provides adjusted advice. Consider tracking additional fertility signs or consulting a healthcare provider for personalized guidance.
Can I use this calculator if I'm trying to conceive?
Yes! Our calculator includes a 'trying to conceive' option that provides specialized advice for conception timing, including the best days for intercourse and additional fertility tips.
What are the signs of ovulation?
Common ovulation signs include changes in cervical mucus (clear and stretchy), slight increase in basal body temperature, mild pelvic pain, and increased libido. Some women also experience breast tenderness or mood changes.
How does age affect fertility and ovulation?
Fertility naturally declines with age, especially after 35. Ovulation may become less regular, and egg quality decreases. Our calculator provides age-specific insights and recommendations for different life stages.
Should I track my cycle even if I'm not trying to conceive?
Yes! Cycle tracking helps you understand your body, predict periods, manage PMS symptoms, and make informed decisions about contraception. It's valuable health information regardless of conception goals.
