Frequently Asked Questions
- When is the fertile window?
- The fertile window spans approximately 6 days: 5 days before ovulation and the day of ovulation itself. Sperm can survive up to 5 days, and the egg is viable for about 24 hours.
- How accurate is an ovulation calculator?
- It's a good estimate for women with regular cycles. Irregular cycles make prediction less reliable. Ovulation test strips or basal body temperature tracking provide more precise confirmation.
- What is the typical cycle length?
- The average menstrual cycle is 28 days, but normal ranges from 21 to 35 days. Ovulation typically occurs 14 days before the start of the next period, not 14 days after the last.
