Fertile Window Calculator | Best Days to Get Pregnant

The fertile window is the group of days in a menstrual cycle when pregnancy is more likely. It usually includes the few days before ovulation and the day of ovulation. This calculator provides an estimate — results are approximate and may vary.

First day of last menstrual period

Average cycle length (days)

Most cycles are 28 days. Usual range is 21–45 days.

Your cycle length is outside the usual range for this calculator. Please consult a healthcare professional if your cycles are very irregular.

Are your menstrual cycles usually regular?

Select "Yes" if your periods usually come after a similar number of days each cycle.

This fertile window is a calendar-based estimate.

⚠️ Important If your menstrual cycles are irregular, or if you are not sure whether they are regular, calendar-based ovulation and fertile-window estimates may be less accurate.

Use this result as an estimate only.

💚 If you are trying to conceive Having intercourse every day or every 1–2 days during the fertile window may increase the chance that sperm are present around ovulation.

This does not guarantee pregnancy. Pregnancy depends on age, sperm quality, ovulation, fallopian tube factors, hormonal factors and other health conditions.

⚠️ This is an estimate, not a guarantee Cycle-based fertile window prediction is approximate. This tool provides an educational estimate only and should not replace medical advice. It must not be used as a contraception method.

🩺 When to seek medical advice If you are under 35 and have been trying to conceive for more than 12 months without success, or if you are 35 or older and have been trying for more than 6 months, consider medical advice.

Seek earlier advice if cycles are very irregular, periods have stopped, or there is severe period pain, pelvic pain, PCOS, endometriosis, previous pelvic infection, previous surgery, or concern about male fertility.

What Is the Fertile Window?

The fertile window spans approximately 6 days — the 5 days before ovulation and the day of ovulation. This is because sperm can survive for up to about 5 days in the reproductive tract, while the egg survives for only about 12–24 hours after ovulation.

When Is the Best Time to Try to Conceive?

The highest chance of conception is generally the 1–2 days before ovulation and the day of ovulation. Regular intercourse every 1–2 days throughout the fertile window may maximise chances for couples trying to conceive.

Accuracy Limitations

This calculator assumes a regular cycle. Many factors can shift ovulation — including stress, illness, weight changes, breastfeeding, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), thyroid conditions, and medications. Calendar-based estimates should not be relied upon as a contraceptive method.

When Should You See a Doctor?

Seek medical advice if you have been trying to conceive for 12 months (or 6 months if over 35), if your cycles are very irregular, if periods stop unexpectedly, or if you have severe pain or very heavy bleeding.
