1. What Is Fertility Calculation?

Fertility calculation determines whether you are currently in your fertile window based on your menstrual cycle day and ovulation day. The fertile window typically spans 5 days before ovulation through the day of ovulation.

2. How Does The Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the fertility calculation formula:

Where:

• \( \text{Current Day} \) — Current day of your menstrual cycle
• \( \text{Ovulation Day} \) — Day when ovulation occurs in your cycle
• \( \leq 5 \) — Fertile window extends 5 days before ovulation

Explanation: This calculation identifies if you are within the 5-day fertile window preceding ovulation, when conception is most likely to occur.

3. Importance Of Fertility Tracking

Details: Understanding your fertile window is crucial for family planning, whether trying to conceive or avoid pregnancy. Accurate fertility tracking helps optimize timing for conception.

4. Using The Calculator

Tips: Enter your current cycle day and expected ovulation day. Both values must be between 1-35 days. The calculator will determine if you are currently in your fertile period.
