Ovulation Calculator
Ovulation is evaluated from First Day of Last Period, Average Cycle Length and Luteal Phase Length. The calculation reports Estimated Ovulation Date, Fertile Window Starts and Fertile Window Ends.

About the Ovulation Calculator
The calculator uses a multi formula configuration. Each reported value is read as a direct evaluation of the stored rules with the declared field formats and units.
Formula basis:
Ovulation Day = Cycle Length - Luteal Phase (default 14)
Fertile Window = Ovulation Date - 5 days to Ovulation Date +1 day
Next Period = LMP + Cycle Length
Interpret the outputs in the order shown by the result fields. Optional inputs affect only the outputs that depend on those variables.
Formula & How It Works
The calculation applies the following relations exactly as recorded in the metadata: Ovulation Day = Cycle Length - Luteal Phase (default 14) Fertile Window = Ovulation Date - 5 days to Ovulation Date +1 day Next Period = LMP + Cycle Length Each output field is produced by substituting the supplied inputs into the relevant relation and then applying the declared rounding or text format.
Worked Examples
Example 1: Standard 28-Day Cycle
Inputs
With First Day of Last Period = 2024-01-01, Average Cycle Length = 28 and Luteal Phase Length = 14 as the stated inputs, the result is Estimated Ovulation Date = 2024-01-15, Fertile Window Starts = 2024-01-10 and Fertile Window Ends = 2024-01-16. Each value corresponds to the declared output fields.
Example 2: Long Cycle — 35 Days
Inputs
With First Day of Last Period = 2024-02-01, Average Cycle Length = 35 and Luteal Phase Length = 14 as the stated inputs, the result is Estimated Ovulation Date = 2024-02-22, Fertile Window Starts = 2024-02-17 and Fertile Window Ends = 2024-02-23. Each value corresponds to the declared output fields.
Example 3: Short Cycle — 21 Days
Inputs
With First Day of Last Period = 2024-03-01, Average Cycle Length = 21 and Luteal Phase Length = 14 as the stated inputs, the result is Estimated Ovulation Date = 2024-03-08, Fertile Window Starts = 2024-03-03 and Fertile Window Ends = 2024-03-09. Each value corresponds to the declared output fields.
Example 4: Irregular Cycle — Custom Luteal Phase
Inputs
With First Day of Last Period = 2024-04-15, Average Cycle Length = 32 and Luteal Phase Length = 12 as the stated inputs, the result is Estimated Ovulation Date = 2024-05-05, Fertile Window Starts = 2024-04-30 and Fertile Window Ends = 2024-05-06. Each value corresponds to the declared output fields.
