Enter your last period date and cycle length. We'll show you when you're most likely to ovulate and your fertile days.
Ovulation typically happens about 14 days before your next period โ not 14 days after your last period. That distinction matters. If you have a 28-day cycle, you likely ovulate around day 14. If you have a 35-day cycle, ovulation is closer to day 21.
Your fertile window is typically the 5 days before ovulation plus ovulation day itself โ sperm can survive up to 5 days inside the body, so having sex before ovulation can still result in pregnancy. This tool calculates both your estimated ovulation day and your full fertile window.
Your cycle starts on day 1 of your period. The first half (follicular phase) is when your body prepares an egg. Ovulation happens when that egg is released โ usually mid-cycle. The second half (luteal phase) is fairly consistent at about 14 days for most people. Understanding this rhythm helps you know your body better, whether you're trying to conceive, avoid pregnancy, or just understand why you feel different at different points in the month.
