What this ovulation estimate is

The page assumes a 14-day luteal phase. Ovulation = cycle start + (cycle length - 14). For 1 January 2026 and 28 days, ovulation is 15 January 2026. A fertile window is listed as 5 days before through 1 day after that date.

Cycle start, luteal phase, and fertile window

Cycle start is day 1 of bleeding. The luteal phase is the span after ovulation. Many cycles are not 28 days and not 14 days luteal. Pregnancy dating from LMP is a different job on the due date page.

How this page adds days

Dates are civil calendar dates in your local timezone, not UTC day counts. Cycle length must be from 20 to 45. The next period row assumes the same length repeats.

Ovulation calculator questions

Does this page upload my cycle dates?
No. The day-count runs in this tab. CZNull does not receive the start date.
Why subtract 14?
This page treats the luteal phase as 14 days, so ovulation sits 14 days before the next period.
Is a 28-day cycle required?
No. Enter 20 to 45. 28 is only the default example.
Can I use this as birth control?
No. It is not contraception. Do not rely on it to prevent pregnancy.
How does this differ from due date?
Due date adds 280 days to LMP. This page estimates ovulation inside one cycle.
Is this medical advice?
No. Informational only. Irregular cycles and fertility care need a clinician.
