Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the calculated fertile window?
The calculator assumes ovulation occurs around day 14 of a 28-day cycle. Actual ovulation varies between individuals and can shift due to stress, illness, or irregular cycles.
How many days is the fertile window?
The fertile window is typically 5 to 6 days: the five days before ovulation and the day of ovulation itself. Sperm can survive up to 5 days in the reproductive tract.
Does this replace medical fertility advice?
No. This calculator provides an estimate based on average cycle data. For fertility concerns or assistance, consult a healthcare professional.
