This tool helps you estimate your ovulation date based on your due date.
How to Use the Ovulation Date Calculator
To use this calculator, simply enter your estimated due date in the format YYYY-MM-DD and click the “Calculate” button. The calculator will then display your ovulation date along with your fertile window.
How It Calculates the Results
The ovulation date is typically 14 days before the start of your next period. For a standard 280-day pregnancy, ovulation occurs around day 14 of a 28-day cycle. This calculator assumes a cycle length of 28 days and calculates the ovulation date as being 266 days before the due date. The fertile window is considered to be from 5 days before ovulation to 1 day after ovulation, accounting for the lifespan of sperm and the egg.
Limitations
This calculator assumes a 28-day menstrual cycle and may not be accurate for those with irregular cycles. Consult with a healthcare provider for personalized and exact information.
