Fertility and IVF calculators

Every calculator in one place, free and with no sign-up. Results show instantly — we don't hide them behind a form. Each one explains what the number means, where the reference ranges come from, and what it cannot tell you.

How these differ from other calculators

Common questions

Second opinion

Bring your numbers to someone who can see the rest

A calculator sees three or four figures. A specialist sees your history, your scans, your partner's results, and how you actually responded to treatment. If you're between cycles, changing clinics, or something in your results doesn't add up, a second opinion is the fastest way to find out whether anything would be done differently.

Free first consultation. No obligation to start treatment, and it doesn't affect your care at your current clinic.

These tools provide general information and are not a diagnosis or a substitute for assessment by a qualified clinician. Reference ranges and sources are stated on each calculator. Predictive estimates describe groups of people and cannot predict an individual outcome.

‹ Cycle and ovulation

Ovulation and fertile window

Your fertile days with the chance of conception for each — they are not equal.

Date calculationExact arithmetic on the dating convention named below. Scan dating by your clinic takes precedence.

daysYour usual cycle length÷daysLuteal phase length÷dayDay of your cycle today=resultOvulation and fertile window (day of cycle)
In short

Ovulation is estimated by counting back from the next expected period, not forward from the last one. The luteal phase is the more stable half of the cycle, so counting back is more reliable when cycle length varies.

Source — Estimates only. Ovulation moves between cycles even in regular ones, and this calculation assumes a consistent luteal phase. An LH test, a mid-luteal progesterone, or follicle tracking measures what actually happened in a given cycle. It is not a contraceptive method.

Reference ranges awaiting clinical sign-off

The bands on this page are drawn from published sources but have not yet been reviewed by our medical team, and some vary by laboratory or assay. Check against the reference range printed on your own report.

Where this sits

Your result of 14 day of cycle sits in the highlighted band. Bands are reference points used alongside clinical findings — not a diagnosis.

day 13-17 day of cycle

The range most cycles fall into. Sperm survive up to about five days, so intercourse every one to two days across the window matters more than hitting one exact day.

Estimates only. Ovulation moves between cycles even in regular ones, and this calculation assumes a consistent luteal phase. An LH test, a mid-luteal progesterone, or follicle tracking measures what actually happened in a given cycle. It is not a contraceptive method.

Questions this usually raises

Why count back instead of forward?

The luteal phase, from ovulation to the next period, is more consistent than the first half. If your cycle runs to 33 days, ovulation is nearer day 19 than day 14, and counting forward from your period would miss the window entirely.

My cycles are irregular. Is this useful?

Less so. If your cycle length varies by more than a few days, the window this produces is wide. Ovulation predictor kits or follicle tracking are more reliable, and irregular cycles are themselves worth investigating.

Does a positive ovulation test mean I definitely ovulated?

No. The test detects the LH surge, which normally triggers release. In luteinized unruptured follicle syndrome the surge happens and the egg is never released. Only ultrasound can tell the difference.

Or ask someone
  • A free first consultation covers this properly, with your actual results rather than an estimate
  • Both partners assessed together — male factor is involved in roughly half of cases
