Find your ovulation day and fertile window from last period date and cycle length.

Formula
Ovulation day = LMP + (cycle length โ 14) | Fertile window: ovulation day โ 5 to + 1LMP = Last Menstrual Period โ the first day of the most recent period
cycle length โ 14 = The luteal phase is consistently ~14 days; ovulation precedes the next period by 14 days
Fertile window = Sperm survive up to 5 days; egg survives 12โ24 hours after ovulation
Worked Example
Ovulation day for a 30-day cycle starting March 1
Did you know? An egg is only viable for 12โ24 hours after ovulation, but sperm can survive in the fallopian tubes for up to 5 days. This is why the fertile window extends several days before ovulation โ having intercourse before ovulation is often more effective than after.
