Peeps answered Thursday December 23 2010, 1:31 am: It could be true, but, to be quite honest, ovulation calendars are just guesses. They just tell you what the "middle" day of your cycle will be because most women ovulate during the middle of their cycle.
Ovulation calendars don't know about your hormonal balances, reproductive health, or daily stress levels. They can't account for daily life. They are just guesses.
So, while it could very well be accurate this month, next month the calendar could be way off.
If you're trying to become pregnant then it wouldn't hurt to try between the 25th and 28th but don't get your hopes up that the calendars are 100% true.
You can easily figure out when you're going to ovulate by how many days you have between cycles. If you have a 28 day cycle then you will ovulate on day 14 of your cycle. From the first day of your period just count out "1, 2, 3..." until you get to 14 and see what date the calendar has for that. The average, healthy woman ovulates mid-cycle so that would be your PREDICTED ovulation date.
Nothing is guaranteed though. Predictions are just guesses. They can't account for everything.
The possibility of you actually ovulating during that time is pretty good if you're in a good, healthy condition. If you could dish out the money, ovulation tests (that you take once a day for every day of the month) would give you an accurate reading on when you usually ovulate. It takes a full 6 months of taking those ovulation tests to get a GOOD idea of when you usually ovulate though so be prepared to spend some dough. [ Peeps's advice column | Ask Peeps A Question ]
