🩸 What Is a Period Calculator?

A period calculator estimates your next period based on your average cycle length.
It helps you understand your fertile window, ovulation period, and PMS phase, so you can plan your schedule, self-care, and family goals more confidently.

With Daisycle, you can view all this information in one place — beautifully visualized and easy to interpret.


⚙️ How It Works

To get accurate predictions, the calculator needs three simple inputs:

  1. First Day of Your Last Period (LMP)
    → The day your bleeding started.

  2. Cycle Length
    → Days from the first day of one period to the first day of the next (average 21–35 days).

  3. Period Duration
    → How long bleeding usually lasts (3–7 days).

Based on your data, Daisycle estimates:

  • 🗓️ Next period date

  • 🌸 Fertile window (your most fertile days)

  • 💧 Ovulation day

  • ⚖️ Premenstrual (PMS) phase

  • 📊 Cycle overview to track trends over time


💡 Benefits of Using Daisycle’s Period Calculator

🧮 How to Calculate Your Cycle Length

Cycle length = First day of one period → First day of the next

Examples:

  • Last period: Jan 1, next period: Jan 29 → Cycle = 28 days

  • Last period: Jan 29, next period: Feb 26 → Cycle = 29 days

Daisycle averages your past cycles automatically to improve accuracy over time.


🌼 Understanding Your Fertile Window

Your fertile window is the time when you’re most likely to get pregnant.

  • Ovulation occurs roughly 12–16 days before your next period.

  • The 6-day fertile window includes the 5 days before ovulation (when sperm can survive) and the day of ovulation (when the egg is released).

Cycle Length Ovulation Day Fertile Window
28 days Day 14 Days 9–14
30 days Day 16 Days 11–16

🔍 Signs of Ovulation

You might notice:

  • Clear, stretchy cervical mucus (egg-white texture)

  • A slight rise in basal body temperature (BBT)

  • Mild pelvic or side cramps (mittelschmerz)

  • Breast tenderness or fullness

  • Increased libido

Daisycle can log and correlate these observations to refine your ovulation predictions.


⚖️ What Affects Your Menstrual Cycle

Your cycle can shift for many normal reasons, including:

  • Stress or lack of sleep

  • Weight changes or extreme exercise

  • Dietary changes or illness

  • Hormonal contraception or its discontinuation

  • Medical conditions such as PCOS, thyroid disorders, or endometriosis

  • Perimenopause or postpartum recovery

Significant or persistent changes should be discussed with a healthcare provider.


🚨 When to See a Clinician

  • Missed or absent periods for ≥3 months (and not pregnant or breastfeeding)

  • Very heavy bleeding (soaking a pad/tampon hourly for ≥2 hours)

  • Sudden changes in cycle length or severe PMS/PMDD symptoms

  • Pelvic pain that disrupts daily life

  • Difficulty conceiving after 6–12 months of trying (depending on age)
