Ovulation Calendar

Our free ovulation calendar shows you most fertile days for getting pregnant. Plans are based on the fact that, for most women, ovulation happens approximately 14 days before the next menstrual period. As ovulation approaches, your chances of getting pregnant will increase. Knowing when you ovulate will help you time intercourse that can result in getting pregnant.

If you are trying for a boy or girl, the planner will give you links to other information that will suggest some actions that many influence the sex of the child. The book, How to Choose the Sex of Your Baby: The Method Best Supported by Scientific Evidence., provides a detailed explanation of the steps to take to conceive a baby of a specific gender.

The length of your menstrual cycle is the number of days from the first day of menstruation to the day before the following menstrual period starts.

Before proceeding, there are a few things to keep in mind when using this ovulation calendar:

Cycle lengths of more than 35 days are too long for appropriate calculations.
Cycle lengths of less than 21 days are too short for appropriate calculations.
Our calendar cannot be used to reliably prevent pregnancy.

If you find that you are not getting pregnant by using this calendar, you may want to look into other methods of ovulation prediction, such as: ovulation test kits, Fertile-Focus or Fertility Tracker saliva fertility monitors. If you want to give your reproductive system a boost, you may want to look at our fertility supplements.
