Uses the standard 14-day luteal phase rule: ovulation = cycle length minus 14, counting from the first day of your last period. Sperm survive about five days, so the fertile window starts five days before ovulation. Cycles vary, so this is an estimate, not a guarantee.

FAQ

How accurate is this?+

Calendar-based prediction is rough. Cycle length varies. For more precision, track basal body temperature or use ovulation predictor kits (LH strips).

Is the math reliable for irregular cycles?+

Less so. If your cycle varies by more than a few days, the predicted window can be off by a week. Tracking sticks works better.
