Ovulation Day and Formula?

A menstrual cycle includes certain days when the probability of conception is the highest - it is several days before ovulation and also one or two days after ovulation. The highest probability of conception is on the ovulation day.

A woman who wants to get pregnant should know her ovulation day and it will help her get prepared for conception better. Otherwise, if a woman does not want to get pregnant, knowing her ovulation day will help her prevent an unwanted pregnancy.

Most women do not know their ovulation day (luteal phase length) and this may result in the situation when a woman wants to get pregnant, but cannot do it for years. Naturally, it makes her undergo an expensive examination in a specialized clinic. Actually, the problem in most cases is that intercourse most often took place on days when no conception is virtually possible because she did not know her ovulation day.

The simplest way to calculate your ovulation day is to use the following formula: "the last day of your menstrual cycle" minus 14 days. It will be your ovulation day and this method is called the calendar method. Unfortunately, the calendar method does not allow you to get a result that is precise enough: the organism of each woman is individual so the length of the menstrual cycle and also the ovulation day may differ from the most widespread values. Besides, the length of some women's menstrual cycles sometimes changes (it is called an irregular menstrual cycle).

There are also other, more precise methods for calculating the ovulation day, for example, by the basal body temperature (BBT), by cervical mucus, by a blood test for progesterone, etc. Our program allows you to keep track of the maximum number of various methods (you can use only some of them) and it allows the program to calculate your ovulation day most precisely.
