Estimate Your Fertile Window Now! →Understanding Your Menstrual Cycle
The menstrual cycle begins on the first day of your period and lasts until the first day of your next period. The average cycle is 28 days, but a 25-day cycle is perfectly normal. Key phases of the menstrual cycle include:
- Menstrual Phase: This is when you have your period, shedding the uterine lining.
- Follicular Phase: During this phase, the ovaries prepare to release an egg.
- Ovulation Phase: The ovary releases a mature egg.
- Luteal Phase: The body prepares for possible pregnancy.
Calculating Ovulation with a 25 Day Cycle
Ovulation typically occurs about 14 days *before* your next period starts. Therefore, with a 25-day cycle, ovulation is likely to occur around day 11. Keep in mind that this is just an estimate.

Tips for Accurate Ovulation Tracking
While the information above will help you find a window for when you might be ovulating, that is only a start. Use the tools and suggestions below to pinpoint when YOU are most likely to ovulate.
- Track Your Cycle: Use a period-tracker app or a menstrual cycle chart to record the start date of your periods for several months.
- Monitor Basal Body Temperature (BBT): Take your temperature every morning before getting out of bed. A slight rise in temperature may indicate ovulation.
- Observe Cervical Mucus: Changes in cervical mucus can also signal ovulation. As you approach ovulation, it becomes clearer, slippery, and more elastic, like egg whites.
- Use Ovulation Predictor Kits (OPKs): These kits measure hormone levels in your urine to predict when ovulation is likely to occur.
Maximize Your Chances of Conception
To increase your chances of getting pregnant, have intercourse regularly during your fertile window, especially in the days leading up to ovulation.
