Ovulation Calculator

Estimate your ovulation day and fertile window.

Last updated: 21 Aug 2026

Quick answer

Ovulation is estimated about 14 days before your next period: ovulation ≈ LMP + (cycle length − 14). The fertile window is roughly the 5 days before ovulation plus the ovulation day. Enter your LMP and cycle length above. This is an estimate, not a contraceptive method.

Estimate your ovulation day and fertile window from your last period and average cycle length. Ovulation is about 14 days before the next period; the fertile window spans the ~5 days before it plus the ovulation day.

How to calculate your ovulation day

  1. 1 Enter the first day of your last period.
  2. 2 Enter your average cycle length (default 28 days).
  3. 3 We estimate ovulation and your fertile window.
