Period Calculator

Predict your next period and track your menstrual cycle instantly. Free period calculator for accurate predictions based on cycle length and last period date.

Last Period Start Date Enter the first day of your last menstrual period. This is the date when your period bleeding started.
The date format shown will match your selected format preference.
Average Cycle Length The number of days from the first day of one period to the first day of the next period. Most cycles are between 21-35 days.
If your cycles vary, use your average over the past 3-6 months.
Luteal Phase Length The time from ovulation to the start of your next period. This phase is typically more consistent than the follicular phase.
Most women have a luteal phase of 10-16 days, with 14 days being the most common.

Smart Tips

• Average cycle length is 28 days, but 21-35 days is considered normal

• Track your period for several months to identify your personal pattern

• Irregular periods can be caused by stress, weight changes, or medical conditions

• The first day of bleeding is day 1 of your menstrual cycle

The Formula

Next Period = Last Period + Cycle Length
Last Period = First day of last menstrual period
Starting point for calculation
Cycle Length = Days between periods
Typically 21-35 days
Ovulation = Last Period + (Cycle Length - Luteal Phase)
Luteal phase is typically 10-16 days

Understanding Your Cycle

Choose your average cycle length to see personalized phase timing

Menstrual Phase

Days 1-5

Fertility: Low

• Uterine lining sheds (menstrual bleeding)

• Hormone levels (estrogen, progesterone) are low

• Body prepares for new cycle

• Energy levels may be lower during this phase

Follicular Phase

Days 6-13

Fertility: Increasing

• Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) rises

• Egg matures in ovarian follicle

• Estrogen levels gradually increase

• Cervical mucus becomes more fertile

Ovulation

Day 14

Fertility: Peak

• Luteinizing hormone (LH) surge triggers ovulation

• Mature egg is released from ovary

• Egg travels down fallopian tube

• Peak fertility window (12-24 hours)

Luteal Phase

Days 15-28

Fertility: Decreasing

• Corpus luteum forms from ruptured follicle

• Progesterone levels rise significantly

• Uterine lining thickens for potential implantation

• Body temperature may increase slightly

Pre-menstrual

Days 25-28

Fertility: None

• Progesterone and estrogen levels drop

• PMS symptoms may appear (mood changes, bloating)

• Uterine lining begins to break down

• Body prepares for next menstrual cycle

Key Insights

Cycle Regularity

Regular cycles (21-35 days) are easier to predict. Irregular cycles may require tracking over several months for accuracy.

Luteal Phase Consistency

The luteal phase (10-16 days) is typically more consistent than the follicular phase, making it a reliable predictor.

Fertility Window

The fertile window typically spans 6 days ending on ovulation day. This is when conception is most likely.

Tracking Benefits

Consistent period tracking helps identify patterns, predict cycles, and detect potential health issues early.
