Estimates for a regular cycle. Ovulation timing varies — tracking basal body temperature or using ovulation tests gives a more personalized picture.

How it works

An egg survives for about 24 hours after ovulation, but sperm can live for up to five days inside the body. That’s why the days leading up to ovulation matter just as much as ovulation day itself. Together they make up your six-day fertile window.

Frequently asked questions

When am I most fertile? +

Your fertile window is the five days before ovulation plus ovulation day itself — six days in total. The two days before ovulation are typically the most fertile.

When do I ovulate? +

Ovulation usually happens about 14 days before your next period. On a 28-day cycle that’s around day 14, but on a 32-day cycle it’s closer to day 18. We calculate it from the cycle length you enter.

How can I confirm ovulation? +

Tracking your basal body temperature, watching for changes in cervical mucus, or using ovulation predictor kits (OPKs) gives a more personalized picture than calendar estimates alone.
