Estimate your most fertile days, likely ovulation date and next period using NHS-standard methods. Designed with UK users in mind but useful for global audiences — supports average and irregular cycles.

Ovulation & Fertility Calculator: Understand Your Cycle and Boost Your Chances of Conception
Planning a pregnancy can be an exciting yet sometimes overwhelming journey. One of the most important steps to increase your chances of conceiving is understanding your menstrual cycle and knowing when you are most fertile. Our Ovulation & Fertility Calculator is a modern, easy-to-use tool designed to help women worldwide—especially those in the UK and US—track ovulation, fertile days, and overall reproductive health.
Whether you are actively trying to conceive or simply want to learn more about your body, this tool gives you clarity and confidence with accurate results based on NHS guidelines, as well as widely recognised international health standards.
What is an Ovulation & Fertility Calculator?
An ovulation calculator helps you estimate the days in your cycle when you are most fertile. Typically, ovulation occurs around 12–16 days before your next period starts. These fertile days are the best time to try for a baby, as the chances of conception are highest when an egg is released and sperm are present.
By entering details such as the first day of your last period and the average length of your cycle, the calculator quickly provides a personalised fertility window. This makes it far easier than trying to track ovulation manually or relying solely on guesswork.

Why Use an Ovulation Calculator?

How to Use the Tool

This is counted as Day 1 of your menstrual cycle. - Input your average cycle length.
Most women have cycles ranging from 25 to 35 days. If you’re unsure, 28 days is a common average. - Generate your results.
The calculator will show your estimated ovulation day and highlight your most fertile days. - Plan accordingly.
Having intercourse during your fertile window (around 2–3 days before ovulation and on ovulation day itself) maximises your chance of pregnancy.
Tips for Understanding Fertility
- Sperm can live for up to 5 days in the female reproductive tract, so having intercourse before ovulation increases your chances.
- The egg survives for only 12–24 hours after being released. Timing is crucial.
- Healthy lifestyle factors—such as balanced diet, moderate exercise, stress management, and avoiding smoking or excessive alcohol—support better fertility.
- Track other ovulation signs like cervical mucus changes, basal body temperature, and ovulation test strips for added accuracy.
Pregnancy and Fertility Awareness Worldwide
- UK (NHS guidelines): The NHS emphasises ovulation occurs about 14 days before the start of the next period. This calculator follows that approach.
- US (CDC & ACOG): American guidelines are aligned with international standards, focusing on cycle-based prediction combined with lifestyle factors.
- Global Audience: Fertility tracking is universally useful, whether you are planning your first pregnancy or adding to your family.
