Countless women from around the world have often struggled to figure out the best time to become pregnant. One of the tools that more and more women are turning to are ovulation calendars. So what exactly is ovulation? What’s an ovulation calendar and how can it help you time your pregnancy?

Let’s start with a quick explanation of what ovulation means. A woman’s menstrual cycle (period) generally lasts between 28 and 32 days. The start of each period is considered to be the first day of her menstrual period. Ovulation itself generally occurs between day 10 and day 19 of the menstrual cycle, or 12 to 16 days before the next period is due.

An ovulation calendar is an interactive tool that is designed to help a woman better predict when she will be most fertile. A basic ovulation calendar can be designed by asking a variety of questions. For example:

1) When was the beginning of the last menstrual cycle (period)?

You can figure this out by keeping track of when you get your period. Write this information down on a blank calendar, otherwise, it can be easy to lose track of when your cycle begins.

2) How long does the menstrual cycle (period) generally last?

Here too, good record keeping can help you monitor the duration of your cycle. In conclusion, an ovulation calendar can help you time your pregnancy by helping you figure out the best time to have sexual intercourse with your partner.
