⚠️ Medical disclaimer

This calculator uses the standard calendar method and assumes a regular cycle. It is not a substitute for medical advice, ovulation tests, or fertility treatment. Irregular cycles reduce prediction accuracy. Consult a healthcare provider for fertility planning.

How to use the ovulation calculator

Three inputs, three cycles of predictions — takes under a minute.

01
Enter the first day of your last period
This is day 1 of your cycle — the first day of actual bleeding, not spotting. If you're not sure of the exact date, use your best estimate.
02
Set your cycle and period length
The average cycle is 28 days (range: 21–45). Period length is typically 3–7 days. If your cycle varies, use your average over the last 3–6 months.
03
Read your fertile window and ovulation date
The calculator shows your period, fertile window, ovulation day, and next period start for 3 upcoming cycles. Switch between cycles using the tabs.

What people use this for

Trying to conceive

The fertile window (5 days before ovulation + ovulation day) is when conception is most likely. Sperm can survive up to 5 days, so timing intercourse in this window maximises the chance.

Tracking your cycle for general health

Knowing when your period is due helps with planning, managing PMS symptoms, and spotting irregularities. A cycle that's consistently shorter than 21 days or longer than 45 days is worth discussing with a doctor.

Natural family planning

The calendar method can be used to identify fertile days to avoid. It's less reliable than hormonal contraception — typical use failure rate is around 24% per year — and works best with regular cycles.

Preparing for a fertility appointment

Doctors often ask for cycle history. Having 3–6 months of cycle data — start dates, length, period duration — makes the appointment more productive.

It uses the standard calendar method: ovulation is estimated at cycle length minus 14 days. For a 28-day cycle that's day 14. Accuracy drops with irregular cycles — a 3-day variation in cycle length shifts the ovulation estimate by 3 days.

The luteal phase (ovulation to next period) is consistently about 14 days in most women. The follicular phase (period to ovulation) varies. So ovulation = next period minus 14 days.

The 7-day window from 5 days before ovulation to 1 day after. Sperm can survive up to 5 days in the reproductive tract, and the egg is viable for about 24 hours after ovulation.

The calendar method alone is not reliable contraception. Typical use failure rate is around 24% per year. For contraception, use a medically approved method.

Irregular cycles make calendar-based predictions less accurate. Track your cycle for 6+ months to find your average, or use ovulation predictor kits (OPKs) which detect the LH surge directly.

Yes. Significant stress, illness, travel, or weight changes can delay or suppress ovulation, shifting it away from the predicted date.
