The use of a fertility calculator is a great help in estimating when pregnancy is most likely to occur. This is why many couples who are looking for a pregnancy use this tool to determine the woman's most fertile days.
However, keep in mind that the ovulation calculator will provide a more reliable estimate if the woman has a regular menstrual cycle that lasts between 21-35 days. Despite this, the result of the calculator may not be accurate, as there are several factors that can influence ovulation.
For this reason, and even more so if a woman has irregular menstrual cycles, there are certain signs that can also indicate to a woman when she is in her fertile period. Among them are:
- Characteristics of the cervical mucus.
- Position of the cervix.
- Measurement of basal body temperature.
In addition, there are some women who have certain symptoms during ovulation, such as abdominal pain or an increase in libido.
On the other hand, there are also ovulation tests, which detect when the LH hormone begins to increase, which triggers the release of the egg from the ovary.
