How It Works
The 28 day cycle is the classic reference cycle used in many medical explanations of ovulation timing, cycle phases, and calendar-based predictions.
A fixed cycle-length page like this works best when your timing is usually close to the same number of days each month. If your cycle shifts around more than that, move to the main period calculator or the irregular period calculator.
Formula: Ovulation = Cycle Length - Luteal Phase Length. For a 28 day cycle with a 14 day luteal phase, that means 28 - 14 = Day 14.
Useful signs include egg-white cervical mucus, a positive LH test 24-36 hours earlier, a mild one-sided pelvic twinge, and a temperature rise that appears just after ovulation.
If you need more precision than a fixed cycle-length page can offer, compare this result with the ovulation calculator.
