A fertility calculator can help you pinpoint when you're next going to ovulate. What is a fertility calc, you ask? It's not a technical gadget that requires a degree to operate... it's a simple online calculator that lets you plug in a few numbers to work out the best time to conceive.
There's only a short window of time to conceive in your cycle, so fertility calculators offer a simple way to target your conception efforts to reach your goal of getting pregnant fast.
You'll have to provide some information so the calculator can do its job. Don't worry - they don't need to know your life history - just a few facts. The important thing is to ensure that the info the calculator requires is correct.
You'll need to enter the date your period started last month, the length of your cycle and an approximation of your luteal phase length.
Hopefully, you'll be taking records of your menstrual cycle (this is important if you're planning on getting pregnant) so it will be pretty easy to use the calc program. The cycle length is worked out by counting the days in between each period, so that's no big deal for you.
What's a luteal phase? It's the second half of your menstrual cycle that occurs once you have already ovulated. It can last anywhere from 10 days to 16 days, and it's not as easy to work out, because you need to have an idea of when you're ovulating.
Fortunately it's quite rare to be asked about the luteal phase, as the majority of programs will only want to know the date your period started and your cycle length.
If you decide to use a calendar to track your ovulation simply add 12-16 days from the first day of your most recent period, and sometime during those five days you should ovulate. For instance, if the first day of your last period was June 20th, you should ovulate between July 1st and July 5th.
If you want to incorporate the luteal phase in your calculation, then monitor the daily changes in your cervical mucus as well as your BBT. These two basic pieces of information can really help the accuracy of your fertility calculation.
So now you know how to use a fertility calculator to increase your chances of getting pregnant. Keep reading, because in a minute, I'll share with you a link to a free fertility calculator that won't require you to enter information on your luteal phase.
