Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about fertility tracking and conception planning
How does the fertility calculator work?
Our fertility calculator uses your last menstrual period date and cycle length to predict ovulation. It calculates your fertile window (6 days ending on ovulation day) and peak conception days for optimal pregnancy planning.
What is the fertile window and when does it occur?
The fertile window spans 6 days: the 5 days before ovulation plus ovulation day. Sperm can survive up to 5 days in the reproductive tract, while the egg survives 12-24 hours after ovulation.
When is the best time to try for pregnancy?
The best conception timing is the 2-3 days before ovulation through the day after ovulation. This maximizes the chance that healthy sperm are present when the egg is released.
How accurate is ovulation calculation?
Ovulation typically occurs 14 days before your next period. For a 28-day cycle, this is day 14. However, cycle lengths vary (21-35 days), so tracking multiple cycles improves accuracy.
What if my cycle length is irregular?
If cycles vary by more than 7-9 days, use your average cycle length over 3-6 months. Consider using ovulation predictor kits or tracking basal body temperature for more precise timing.
Can I use this calculator for contraception?
This calculator is designed for conception planning only. The fertility awareness method requires precise daily tracking and should not be relied upon for contraception without proper training and monitoring.
