Our ovulation calculator is designed to help you estimate your most fertile days, making it easier to plan or avoid pregnancy. To get started, simply enter the first day of your last menstrual period, select your average cycle length (usually between 21 to 35 days), and click ‘Calculate’.
The calculator will analyze your input and show you your upcoming your next ovulation date, fertile window, expected next period, and important dates for the next 6 cycles. Please note, this tool offers a general guideline and should not replace personalized medical advice.
Irregular cycles can make it harder to predict ovulation using dates alone. If your period doesn’t follow a consistent pattern, consider tracking other signs of ovulation such as:
Combining methods frequently gives a more accurate picture of your fertile days.
Understanding your most fertile days can significantly increase your chances of getting pregnant. In each menstrual cycle, there’s a specific timeframe—known as the fertile window—when you’re most likely to conceive. This window mostly spans the five days leading up to ovulation and the day of ovulation itself.
Ovulation typically arises about 12 to 16 days before your next period begins. Meanwhile sperm can survive in the body for up to 5–7 days, having regular sex in the days before and around ovulation gives the best chance of fertilization. Everyone’s body and timing are different, so using an ovulation calculator helps you identify your personal fertile days with greater accuracy
To fully understand ovulation, it helps to know how your menstrual cycle works:
Typical cycles last between 21 to 40 days, and ovulation usually occurs 12–16 days before your next period.
For most couples, having sex regularly—around every two to three days—is enough to achieve pregnancy. If you’re under 40 and engage in unprotected sex consistently, there’s roughly an 80% chance you’ll conceive within one year.
To maximize your chances, it’s helpful to have sex throughout your entire cycle. This ensures healthy sperm are present when ovulation occurs. Since sperm can survive inside the female reproductive system for up to seven days, intercourse during the week before ovulation can still lead to fertilization once the egg is released.
Knowing your ovulation timing gives you an advantage. By focusing sexual activity in the days before and during ovulation, you increase the likelihood of conception. After ovulation, the fertile window closes until the next cycle begins.

You don’t need to guess. Your body gives several clues when it’s preparing to ovulate:
🙋♀️Begins dry or sticky after your period.
🙋♀️Becomes creamy and moist as ovulation nears.
🙋♀️Turns slippery, stretchy and clear—like egg whites—just before ovulation.
🙋♀️ After ovulation, it thickens and reduces.
🙋♀️Take your temperature for each morning before getting out of bed.
🙋♀️A 0.2–0.5°C rise sustained over 3 days indicates ovulation has occurred.
🙋♀️This method works best when tracked over multiple cycles.
🙋♀️These detect a surge in luteinizing hormone (LH) in your urine.
🙋♀️The LH surge occurs 24–36 hours before ovulation, helping you pinpoint your most fertile days.
🙋♀️Healthy lifestyle choices like maintaining a balanced weight, reducing stress, and avoiding tobacco or alcohol can positively impact fertility.
🙋♀️If you’re under 35 and haven’t conceived after 12 months of trying (or 6 months if you’re over 35), it’s wise to consult a fertility specialist.
🙋♀️Remember, both male and female fertility play a role in conception.
If you’re under 40 and have regular unprotected intercourse or sex, you have about an 80% chance of conceiving within a year. However, age, lifestyle, and health all influence fertility. Here are some general tips:
Ovulation calculators are a helpful guide—but every body is unique. If you’ve been trying to conceive without achievement for over 12 months (or 6 months if over 35), consider consulting a fertility specialist. For irregular cycles, hormonal issues, or general reproductive health, professional medical guidance is essential.
