Ovulation Calculator

Calculate Ovulation Date, Fertile Window & Next Period

🌸 What is Ovulation?

Ovulation is the release of a mature egg from the ovary. It typically occurs 14 days before the next expected period. The fertile window spans about 6 days: 5 days before ovulation through the day of ovulation, when pregnancy chances are highest.

FAQ

How accurate is ovulation calculation?

It is fairly accurate for those with regular cycles, but individual variation exists. For better accuracy, combine with ovulation test strips or basal body temperature tracking.

What if my cycle is irregular?

Record your cycles for the last 6 months and use the average. If cycles vary by more than 7 days, consult a gynecologist.

Can I only get pregnant during the fertile window?

The fertile window has the highest probability, but sperm can survive up to 5 days inside the body, so pregnancy is possible outside the calculated window.
