Our Period Calculator helps women track their menstrual cycles, predict the next period, and identify fertile days for conception. Understanding your cycle is essential for reproductive health and effective planning.

What is Menstrual Cycle?

The menstrual cycle is a monthly process that prepares the female body for pregnancy. It typically lasts 28 days but can range from 21–35 days. The cycle is divided into phases:

• Menstrual Phase: Shedding of uterine lining (period)
• Follicular Phase: Egg maturation in the ovary
• Ovulation Phase: Release of mature egg (fertile period)
• Luteal Phase: Hormonal changes preparing for pregnancy

How Our Period Calculator Works

1. Enter the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP).
2. Enter your average cycle length (usually 28 days).
3. Click “Calculate” to see your next period date, fertile window, and ovulation day.

Period Prediction Formula

Next Period Date = LMP + Average Cycle Length

Ovulation Day = Next Period Date – 14 days

Fertile Window = Ovulation Day – 5 days to Ovulation Day + 1 day

Example 1 – 28-Day Cycle

LMP: 1st September | Cycle Length: 28 days

Next Period = 1st Sep + 28 days = 29th September
Ovulation Day = 29th Sep – 14 = 15th September
Fertile Window = 10th Sep – 16th Sep

Example 2 – 30-Day Cycle

LMP: 5th September | Cycle Length: 30 days

Next Period = 5th Sep + 30 days = 5th October
Ovulation Day = 5th Oct – 14 = 21st September
Fertile Window = 16th Sep – 22nd Sep
