Fertility Window & Peak Conception Days
Your Peak Conception Period
Conception Chances
The 3 days leading up to and including ovulation offer the highest chance of pregnancy.
Pinpointing the Most Fertile Days for Conception
The **Fertility Window Calculator** is designed to identify the critical period when a couple has the highest chance of **conception**. This **fertility prediction** relies on the **Last Menstrual Period (LMP)** and **average cycle length** to estimate **ovulation**, which is the center of the **fertile window**. Since sperm can survive up to five days and the egg survives for only $12-24$ hours, the **most fertile days** fall within a narrow six-day period.
Calculating the Conception Window
The calculation is a refinement of the ovulation model. It first finds the estimated **ovulation date** ($\text{LMP} + \text{Cycle Length} - 14$ days). The **peak conception days** are defined as the three days immediately preceding and including the **ovulation date** itself. The full **fertile window** begins $5$ days before **ovulation**.
Understanding Peak Conception Days
The **most fertile days** offer the highest likelihood of achieving pregnancy. These typically include the two days directly before **ovulation** and the day of **ovulation**. Using a **fertility tracker** like this calculator helps maximize chances by timing intercourse correctly. For women with irregular cycles, tracking basal body temperature (**BBT**) alongside this calculator provides the most reliable **fertility prediction**.
If you are actively **trying to conceive**, use this tool regularly and consider linking it with our **hCG Levels** calculator once pregnancy is confirmed.

The full **fertile window** typically lasts about six days, spanning the five days prior to **ovulation** and the day of **ovulation** itself. The **Fertility Window Calculator** helps identify this entire period based on your **average cycle length**.
The **Fertility Window Calculator** relies on an **average cycle length**, so its **fertility prediction** accuracy decreases significantly with irregular cycles. If you have irregular cycles, it is strongly recommended to use this tool alongside direct monitoring methods like **BBT** charting for accurate **conception planning**.
