Estimate My Fertile Window →Understanding Your Menstrual Cycle
The menstrual cycle typically lasts between 21 to 40 days, but it can vary. It begins on the first day of your period and continues until the first day of your next period. Key events occur during this cycle, including:
- Follicular Phase: Eggs mature in the ovary.
- Ovulation: An egg is released from the ovary, usually 12-16 days before your next period.
- Luteal Phase: The uterine lining thickens, preparing for potential fertilization.
Identifying these phases can empower you to make informed decisions about your reproductive health.

Spotting the Signs of Ovulation
Beyond using our tool, you can also watch out for certain signs that indicate ovulation:
- Cervical Mucus Changes: Mucus becomes thinner, clearer, and more stretchy, resembling raw egg white.
- Basal Body Temperature (BBT): A slight rise in temperature (around 0.2°C) usually indicates ovulation has taken place.
- Ovulation Test Kits: These kits detect luteinizing hormone (LH) surge in your urine, which typically occurs 24 to 36 hours before ovulation.
Tips for Conceiving
To increase your chances of getting pregnant:
- Have Regular Sex: Aim for every 2 to 3 days to ensure sperm is available when the egg is released. Regular sex is all most people need to conceive.
- Know When You Ovulate: Use our tool or monitor physical signs to identify your fertile window. Consider having sex in the days leading up to ovulation. Remember that if you've had sex in the 7 days before ovulation, it's possible to get pregnant because sperm can live inside a woman's body for up to 7 days and fertilise the egg when it's released.
- Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle: A healthy weight, balanced diet, and stress management can positively impact fertility.
Irregular Periods? We Can Help
Irregular cycles can make it harder to predict ovulation. Our tool takes your individual cycle length into account, providing a more personalized estimate. However, consider also:
- Using Ovulation Predictor Kits: These can help identify the time of ovulation, even with irregular cycles.
- Consulting a Healthcare Professional: They can provide further guidance and assess any underlying health conditions affecting your cycle.
