Conception Calculator
The Conception Calculator estimates a range of days during which a woman is most likely to conceive, as well as a corresponding due date based on a woman’s average menstrual cycle.

Understanding Your Fertile Window
The fertile window is the 5-6 day period each cycle when conception is most likely, peaking in the 3 days leading up to and including ovulation. Sperm can survive for up to 5 days (sometimes longer), while the egg remains viable for about 12-24 hours after release. By having regular intercourse during this window—especially in the final 3 most fertile days—you maximize your chances of pregnancy (up to 30% per cycle).
Love, Intimacy & Conception
Building a family begins with connection. Stress and busy schedules can dampen intimacy, but regular lovemaking (2-3 times weekly) primes the body for pregnancy by:
- Boosting fertility-linked hormones
- Improving cervical mucus quality (creating a sperm-friendly environment)
- Extending the fertile window naturally
Tracking Your Cycle
Use the calculator above to predict ovulation based on your period and cycle length. For greater precision:
- Basal Body Temperature (BBT): Track morning temps; a slight rise signals ovulation.
- Cervical Mucus: Egg-white consistency appears just before ovulation.
Stress-Free Approach
If charting feels overwhelming, aim for sex every 2-3 days. Sperm longevity means you’ll likely hit fertile days without meticulous tracking. Above all, prioritize joy and closeness—the foundation of conception.
Tip: Combine calculator predictions with body cues for the best results.
