Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is this calculator?

This calculator provides estimates based on average cycle length. Actual cycles can vary due to stress, travel, diet, and hormonal changes. It's most accurate for women with regular cycles (variation ±2 days). For medical decisions, always consult your doctor.

What is a normal cycle length?

Normal cycles range from 21–35 days. The average is 28 days, but only 10–15% of women have exactly 28-day cycles. What matters most is consistency — a regular 32-day cycle is perfectly normal.

When am I most fertile?

The fertile window is approximately 5 days before ovulation and 1 day after. Sperm can survive up to 5 days in the body, while the egg is viable for only 12–24 hours after ovulation. Peak fertility is 1–2 days before ovulation.

Why is my period irregular?

Common causes include stress, significant weight change, PCOS, thyroid disorders, excessive exercise, and starting/stopping hormonal birth control. See a doctor if cycles are consistently outside 21–35 days or if you miss 3+ periods.

Is my data private?

Yes, 100%. All calculations happen locally in your browser using JavaScript. Absolutely no health data is sent to any server. Your cycle information stays completely private on your device — we never store or transmit it.

Can I use this calculator for birth control?

This calculator should NOT be used as a primary method of birth control. The fertile window prediction is an estimate based on averages. Ovulation timing can shift unexpectedly. Consult a healthcare provider for reliable contraception options.
