The menstrual cycle is a recurring series of physiological changes that prepares the female body for pregnancy. It typically lasts between 21 and 35 days and is divided into the follicular phase, ovulation, and the luteal phase.
Accurate tracking of the first day of menstruation and the average cycle length enables women to predict future period start dates and fertile windows, which can aid in family planning, health monitoring, and symptom management.
Our calculator uses a simple linear model: it adds the average cycle length to the last period start date to estimate the next period, and subtracts 14 days to estimate ovulation. This method aligns with the typical 14βday luteal phase observed in most cycles.
