Ovulation Calculator
Estimated fertile window.
Estimated ovulation
Introduction
Estimate ovulation from a regular cycle and last period date. Cycle timing varies, so this cannot confirm ovulation, pregnancy risk, or fertility. This result is an estimate based on the information provided. It is not a diagnosis and may not reflect individual medical circumstances.
What is Ovulation Calculator?
For a regular cycle, the calculator estimates ovulation as about 14 days before the next expected period. It then displays the five days leading up to that estimated date. Cycle timing can vary, so this is not a method for confirming ovulation, pregnancy, or contraception effectiveness.
Definition: Ovulation Calculator estimates an ovulation date and fertile window from a last menstrual period and usual cycle length.

Worked example
Example: estimate ovulation in a 28-day cycle
Inputs: First day of LMP = 1 January 2026, Usual cycle length = 28 days
- Estimate ovulation as about 14 days before the next expected period.
- For a regular 28-day cycle, this falls around cycle day 14.
- Show the five days before the estimated ovulation day as the estimated fertile window.
This is a calendar estimate and cannot confirm ovulation or pregnancy risk.
