Ovulation Calculator Answers
What does the ovulation calculator do?
The ovulation calculator estimates your most fertile days based on the first day of your last menstrual period and your average cycle length. It helps identify when you're most likely to ovulate.
How accurate is the calculator?
It provides an estimate based on typical ovulation patterns. For more accuracy, it's recommended to track basal body temperature, cervical mucus, or use ovulation predictor kits alongside the calculator.
What is the fertile window?
The fertile window is usually about 6 days—five days before ovulation and the day of ovulation itself. This is when the chances of conception are highest if you're trying to get pregnant.
Can this help avoid pregnancy?
While it can indicate likely fertile days, it should not be used as a sole method of birth control. Ovulation can vary, and tracking methods are more reliable when combined with other indicators.
