Ovulation Calculator

An Ovulation Calculator is a tool that uses the dates and lengths of a woman's menstruation to determine the time she ovulating and is most fertile. This tool helps a woman determine when she has the best opportunity to get pregnant.

Most ovulation calculators ask you to enter the dates of the your last 3 to 5 menstrual cycles, or periods, in order to determine your average menstrual cycle. This is usually somewhere between 28-32 days. The calculator then tries to predict when you will ovulate, or release an egg. Knowing when there is an egg to fertilize can help you plan your sexual activity accordingly.http://www.webmd.com/baby/healthtool-ovulation-calculator

Besides using an ovulation calculator, there are some other signs that a women may notice when she is about to ovulate or in the process of ovulating. There may be a transparent vaginal discharge, similar to the whites of eggs in consistency. A number of females will feel some cramping during the ovulation phase. The body temperature may also rise just a touch, and this can be measured with a basal thermometer. When ovulation occurs, certain hormones are present in the body, and an ovulation detecting kit can pick this up in the urine and help confirm whether or not ovulation is indeed taking place.http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/ovulation-signs/AN01521
