Frequently Asked Questions

Ovulation typically occurs about 14 days before the start of your next period. For a regular 28-day cycle, this is around day 14. The timing can vary from cycle to cycle, even in women with regular periods.
The fertile window is approximately 6 days: the 5 days before ovulation and the day of ovulation itself. Sperm can survive in the reproductive tract for up to 5 days, while the egg is viable for 12-24 hours after release.
Common ovulation signs include changes in cervical mucus (becomes clear and stretchy, like egg whites), a slight rise in basal body temperature, mild pelvic pain or cramping (mittelschmerz), breast tenderness, and increased libido.
While rare, it is possible to release more than one egg during a cycle (which is how fraternal twins are conceived). However, multiple ovulations occur within the same 24-hour window, not at different times in the cycle.
Yes. Ovulation timing varies with cycle length. In a 28-day cycle, ovulation is around day 14. In a 35-day cycle, it would be around day 21. The luteal phase (after ovulation) is fairly consistent at 14 days, while the follicular phase (before ovulation) varies.

Tracking Tip

For the most accurate predictions, track your cycle length for 3-6 months. This helps account for natural variations in your cycle.
