Free Ovulation Calendar
This free
Ovulation Calendar
can be used as a guide to help you track when you ovulate.
Ovulation is the process in the menstrual cycle by which a
mature ovarian follicle ruptures and discharges an ovum, which
is commonly known as an egg. To ovulate is to produce and
discharge an egg that participates in the reproduction process.
Ovulation usually occurs mid-cycle, about day 14 of a woman's
menstrual cycle. The few days near ovulation constitute the
fertile phase.

Ovulation Calendar
|
Ovulation is triggered by a surge
in the amount of the FSH hormone and LH hormone which are
released from the pituitary gland. During the luteal, or post-ovulatory,
phase the egg will travel through the fallopian tubes toward the
uterus. If fertilized by a sperm, it may perform implantation
there 6-12 days later.
Your
Personalised Ovulation Calendar
- Your most fertile times
The above ovulation calendar indicates just an average of days
that ovulation could take place - every woman's cycle is
different. To create a more accurate view of your most fertile
times you must establish a pattern for your personal menstrual
cycle. This cannot be done instantly as it is necessary to chart
your menstrual cycle for at least 8 months to gain an accurate
picture. To identify your most fertile times on your
personal ovulation calendar you need to use your longest and
shortest cycles.
To establish the first day of your fertility window:
-
Take the number
of days of your Shortest cycle e.g. 25
-
Subtract 18
from this number e.g. 25 - 18 = 7
-
The first day
of your personalised Ovulation calendar starts on the 7th
day of your cycle
To establish the last day of your fertility window:
-
Take the number
of days of your Longest cycle e.g. 32
-
Subtract 11
from this number e.g. 32 - 11 = 21
-
The last day of
your personalised Ovulation calendar ends on the 21st day of
your cycle
Your ovulation can be expected during this period. You cannot
get pregnant everyday during this time, but these re the most
likely times that pregnancy can occur.
The
Ovulation Calendar
- Ovulation Kits
The Luteinizing
hormone (LH) is always present in your urine and increases 24-48
hours prior to ovulation. Ovulation kits can be purchased to
help further determine your expected ovulation by detecting the
surge of the luteinizing hormone (LH).
