With the help of our ovulation calculator you can calculate your next ovulation and thus determine your fertile days. With this information you can better understand your cycle, get pregnant in a targeted way or support natural contraception. Please note, however, that using the ovulation calculator alone is not suitable as a contraceptive.
To get a result, you need to enter the date of your last cycle start (first day of your period) and at least the length of one of your last cycles. The result will be more accurate if you enter the lengths of your last 3 cycles into the ovulation calculator.
The OvulaRing ovulation calculator uses the findings of the OvulaRing method to calculate your next ovulation. Based on the entered cycle(s), the expected cycle length is determined. As the second cycle phase is more stable in time than the first, it is used for a more accurate estimate. The second cycle phase is usually between 11 to 15 days long. On average, it is 13 days.
On the day of ovulation, a mature egg is released from the ovary. This time can vary from cycle to cycle and is triggered by the increase in luteinising hormone (LH). The released egg travels to the fallopian tube where it is fertilised. At the same time, the lining of the uterus is built up for a possible pregnancy.
However, if the mature egg is not fertilised, the built-up uterine lining is later rejected and released as menstruation.
Ovulation is a natural process where some physical signs and symptoms may occur. Not all women experience these signs, and they can vary from cycle to cycle. The most common physical signs of ovulation include:
Mid-cycle pain: a mild to moderate pain or pulling in the lower abdomen that occurs around the middle of the cycle and is therefore called mid-cycle pain.
Cervical mucus: The consistency of cervical mucus changes during your cycle. During ovulation it often becomes clearer, more stretchy (spinnable) and resembles raw egg white.
Breast sensitivity: Some women experience more sensitive or slightly sore breasts during ovulation.
Changes in the cervix: The cervix may change in shape and position. It may be softer and positioned higher in the vagina during ovulation.
Light bleeding: Some women may experience light, greasy bleeding called ovulation bleeding.
Libido: Some women experience increased sexual desire during ovulation.
It is important to note that not all women experience these signs, and some may not even notice them. However, these signs can be quite helpful if you want to better understand your cycle. Using an ovulation calculator can also help to determine the timing of ovulation more accurately.

OvulaRing is a medical cycle tracker that completely records your cycle and thus can accurately determine your ovulation. In addition, OvulaRing determines your fertile days and provides an up-to-date fertility status. Thanks to the patented method with vaginal temperature sensor, OvulaRing is suitable for all cycle types. As a certified medical device with app, OvulaRing is easy to use and as comfortable as a tampon. How OvulaRing works.
In the ‘classic temperature method’, basal body temperature is measured once a day. This increases slightly during ovulation. The measurement of the basal body temperature requires a little discipline and practice in the evaluation.
The consistency and appearance of cervical mucus changes during the cycle. During ovulation, the mucus often becomes clearer and more stretchy. Watching these changes can help you determine when you are ovulating.
An ovulation test (urine test) detects the increase in luteinizing hormone (LH), which triggers ovulation. They are available in pharmacies, but cannot detect ovulation 100%.
There are many mobile apps to track your cycle and calculate ovulation. Note that the accuracy of cycle apps just like online ovulation calculators is worse than that of medical methods like OvulaRing. These are often based only on the data entered and provide estimates and reminders.
If you have difficulties getting pregnant or want to understand your cycle in more detail, you can consult your gynecologist. She can perform examinations (ultrasound) and make recommendations.
These tables and calendars can help you calculate the probable time of ovulation. The accuracy here is similar to online ovulation calculators and cycle apps.
Choosing the best method to determine your ovulation depends on your personal preferences and needs. To determine the time of ovulation as precisely as possible, medical methods such as OvulaRing are particularly suitable. To know the ovulation only approximately, an alternative method is also suitable.
Timing is crucial for the fulfillment of your desire to have children. If possible, enter your last period and the lengths of your last 3 cycles into the OvulaRing ovulation calculator and let it calculate your next ovulation.
Here you will also see the expected fertile days. To increase your chance of pregnancy you should have sex several times during the fertile period. For example, every 2 days would be ideal. If you are not pregnant after several cycles in this way, we recommend that you monitor your cycle more closely (e.g. with OvulaRing) or consult a doctor.

More precise The estimates are continuous temperature measurement using a medical cycle tracking app.
Yes. Wear it whenever possible several past cycle lengths ; the computer takes these fluctuations into account and outputs a a wider time frame . In cases of very irregular cycles (such as after stopping hormonal birth control, during breastfeeding, or with PCOS, etc.), the results may vary more significantly.
