Frequently Asked Questions
How is ovulation date calculated?
Ovulation typically occurs 14 days before your next expected period. The calculator subtracts 14 days from your predicted next period date to estimate ovulation. For a 28-day cycle, ovulation occurs around day 14.
What is the fertile window?
The fertile window is the 6-day period ending on ovulation day (5 days before + ovulation day). This is when intercourse is most likely to result in pregnancy, as sperm can survive up to 5 days in the reproductive tract.
How accurate is this calculator?
This calculator is most accurate for women with regular cycles (28-32 days). If your cycles are irregular, ovulation prediction is less reliable. Consider using ovulation predictor kits or tracking basal body temperature for more accuracy.
Can I get pregnant outside my fertile window?
The chance of pregnancy outside the fertile window is very low. An egg survives only 12-24 hours after ovulation, and sperm can survive up to 5 days. The fertile window covers the period when both are present.
Is my cycle data stored or shared?
No. All calculations are performed locally in your browser. Your menstrual cycle data never leaves your device.
What if my cycles are irregular?
If your cycles vary significantly (e.g., 25-35 days), ovulation timing can be unpredictable. Track your cycles for several months to identify patterns, or consult a healthcare provider for personalized fertility guidance.

Understanding Your Menstrual Cycle and Ovulation
Ovulation is the release of an egg from the ovary, typically occurring once per cycle. The menstrual cycle is counted from the first day of one period to the first day of the next. Ovulation usually occurs about 14 days before your next period, regardless of cycle length.
Signs and Symptoms of Ovulation
Common ovulation signs include changes in cervical mucus (becoming clear and stretchy like egg whites), a slight rise in basal body temperature, mild pelvic pain (mittelschmerz), and increased libido. Tracking these signs alongside the calculator improves accuracy.
Tips for Maximizing Fertility
Have intercourse every 1-2 days during the fertile window. Maintain a healthy weight, reduce stress, avoid smoking and excessive alcohol, and ensure adequate nutrition. If you have been trying for over a year (or 6 months if over 35), consult a fertility specialist.
