Did You Know?
Track 3 cycles for accuracy
Your ovulation date shifts slightly each month. Track your actual cycle length over 3 months and use the average. Combined with OPK (ovulation predictor kit) tests, accuracy improves significantly.

How to use this calculator

1

Enter last period date

The first day of bleeding of your most recent period.

2

Set cycle length

Count from day 1 of one period to day 1 of the next. Average is 28 days.

3

Set luteal phase

Usually 14 days. If you track your cycle with an app, you may know your actual luteal phase.

The formula explained

Ovulation Date = LMP + (Cycle Length − Luteal Phase)
Fertile Window = Ovulation − 5 days to Ovulation + 1 day

The luteal phase (after ovulation until next period) is usually 12–16 days, most commonly 14. Sperm can survive 5 days in the reproductive tract, so the fertile window starts 5 days before ovulation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the fertile window?

The 6 days ending on ovulation day — 5 days before ovulation plus the day of ovulation itself. The egg survives only 12–24 hours, but sperm can survive up to 5 days.

How accurate is this calculator?

It is an estimate based on average cycle patterns. Actual ovulation can vary by several days depending on stress, illness, and hormonal changes. OPK tests or temperature tracking are more accurate.

What is the luteal phase?

The second half of the menstrual cycle — from ovulation to the next period. It is typically 12–16 days and is more consistent than the first half of the cycle.

Can I get pregnant outside the fertile window?

It is very unlikely but not impossible. Sperm and eggs have unpredictable lifespans. The fertile window covers the vast majority of conception opportunities.

How many days after my period do I ovulate?

Ovulation typically occurs 14 days before the next period, not 14 days after the period starts. For a 28-day cycle: ovulation around day 14. For a 32-day cycle: around day 18. The fertile window is 5 days before ovulation to 1 day after.
