Period Calculator – FAQs

1. What if my cycle is irregular?

This Period Calculator works best for regular cycles. If your cycle varies significantly month to month, use your average cycle length from tracking 3-6 months of periods. For highly irregular cycles, consult your healthcare provider for more personalized guidance.

2. Is this calculator accurate for family planning?

The Period Calculator provides estimates based on averages. While it helps identify your fertile window, it’s not 100% accurate for conception planning or contraception. Always consult a healthcare provider if you’re trying to conceive or prevent pregnancy for personalized medical advice.

3. Can I use this on my mobile phone?

Yes! The Period Calculator is fully responsive and works on smartphones, tablets, and desktop computers. Simply open the HTML file in your mobile browser, and the interface automatically adjusts to fit your screen size.

4. Why does my ovulation date differ from other calculators?

Different calculators may use slightly different formulas. This calculator estimates ovulation at mid-cycle. Actual ovulation varies by individual. For precise ovulation timing, consult your doctor or use medical ovulation tracking methods.

5. Is my personal data safe?

Completely safe! This calculator runs entirely on your computer using local browser processing. No data is sent to any server, stored, or shared. Your period information never leaves your device—complete privacy guaranteed.
