Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the ovulation calculator?
The ovulation calculator is most accurate for women with regular cycles. It uses the standard assumption that ovulation occurs 14 days before the next period. For irregular cycles, tracking multiple cycles and using additional methods like basal body temperature or ovulation predictor kits can improve accuracy.
What if I have irregular periods?
If you have irregular periods, use the "Cycle Tracking" method and input your last 3-6 cycle lengths for a more accurate average. Consider using ovulation predictor kits, tracking cervical mucus, or monitoring basal body temperature for better precision.
When is the best time to try to conceive?
The best time to try to conceive is during your fertile window, particularly the 2-3 days before ovulation and the day of ovulation. Having intercourse every other day during this period maximizes your chances.
Can I use this calculator for birth control?
This calculator should NOT be used as the primary method for birth control. While ovulation tracking can be part of fertility awareness methods, it requires additional tracking (temperature, cervical mucus) and has higher failure rates than modern contraceptives.
What are the signs of ovulation?
Common signs include changes in cervical mucus, slight increase in body temperature, ovulation pain (mittelschmerz), and increased sex drive. Some women also experience breast tenderness or light spotting.
How long does the fertile window last?
The fertile window lasts about 6 days - the 5 days before ovulation and the day of ovulation itself. This accounts for sperm survival (up to 5 days) and egg viability (12-24 hours).
