Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the menstrual cycle calculator?
Accuracy depends on how regular your cycle is. For someone with a consistent 28-day cycle, predictions are typically accurate within 1–2 days. For irregular cycles — those varying by more than 5 days between months — predictions are less reliable. Using your average cycle length from the last 3–6 months improves accuracy. No calculator replaces tracking with an app or consulting a doctor.
What is the fertile window and how is it calculated?
The fertile window is the period when pregnancy is possible — typically the 5 days before ovulation plus ovulation day itself, since sperm can survive up to 5 days in the reproductive tract. Ovulation is estimated by subtracting 14 days from the expected end of the cycle (not the beginning). For a 28-day cycle, ovulation falls around day 14; for a 32-day cycle, around day 18.
What if my periods are irregular?
Irregular cycles make predictions less accurate. If your cycle varies significantly month to month — more than 5–7 days of variation — a single average cycle length produces rough estimates at best. Track your period start dates over several months, calculate the average, and note the range. Some health conditions like PCOS cause significant cycle irregularity and benefit from medical evaluation.
Can I use this calculator to avoid pregnancy?
This calculator is not a contraceptive method and should not be used as one. Fertility-awareness-based methods require precise daily tracking of temperature, cervical mucus, and cycle patterns — not just calendar prediction. For contraception, consult a healthcare provider about evidence-based options. Calendar-based methods have significantly higher failure rates than other forms of contraception.
Is my cycle data stored or shared?
No. All calculations happen locally in your browser using JavaScript. The dates you enter are never sent to any server, stored in a database, or accessible to anyone. When you close the page, no record of your input remains. This makes the tool completely private for tracking sensitive personal health information.
