The menstrual calculator was created to help a woman remember the most important information related to her menstrual cycle. The calculator predicts the first day of menstruation, the duration of the period, infertile and fertile days, ovulation time, and allows you to add any additional symptoms that are important during the menstrual cycle.
Menstruation calculator – application for the phone
Women who want to get pregnant most often choose to install a convenient phone application called a menstrual calculator. The calendar needs a few pieces of information, the most important of which is the length of the cycle. Typically, a woman’s menstrual cycle is 21 to 35 days, and most often 28 days. During this time, the egg is released from the ovaries and travels through the fallopian tube into the uterine cavity. This hike takes about 3-4 days. At the same time, the lining of the uterus thickens and is richer in nutrients to accommodate a fertilized egg. If fertilization does not occur during this time, the membrane peels off and menstruation begins. The unfertilized egg is expelled to the outside. The ovum is 20 times larger than the sperm and is visible to the naked eye. Among the popular cycle monitoring applications, Bella’s menstrual calculator is worth mentioning. To start the calculation, enter the average cycle length, the start date and the length of your last period. A calendar is a forecast of forecasting the cycle and its changes. The longer you enter data, the more reliable this prediction becomes.
During the first few days of the cycle (usually 1st to 5th), the Graaf follicle, which includes the eggs, develops. In this phase of the cycle, a woman feels much better than at the end of her menstrual cycle. There are symptoms related to the period: lower abdominal pain, fatigue, weakness. The hormones estrogen and progesterone are falling.
Menstruation calculator – fertile days
During the first few days of the cycle (usually 1st to 5th), the Graaf follicle, which includes the eggs, develops. In this phase of the cycle, a woman feels much better than at the end of her menstrual cycle. There are symptoms related to the period: lower abdominal pain, fatigue, weakness. The hormones estrogen and progesterone are falling. Usually the calculator marks the fertile days with a different color. In the following days of the cycle, i.e. between the 6th and 13th day, the well-being of women improves, many women believe that this cycle time is the best time. Then the estrogen level rises, thanks to which the woman looks more beautiful, acne disappears, the complexion improves and the hair becomes shinier. Four days before ovulation, the fertile days begin. In a regular cycle, day 14 is considered the day of ovulation. This is the best time to get pregnant. During this time, inside the body, the follicle ruptures and the egg is released. During ovulation, many women experience a strong desire for sex. Ovulation is also accompanied by other symptoms, the mucus is characteristic, transparent, stretching like egg white. The woman’s body is ready to receive sperm and the right conditions for fertilization are met. In the following days, i.e. between the 15th and 17th day of the cycle, there is still a possibility of becoming pregnant. High levels of estrogen last until the 20th day of the cycle. This is when the production of progesterone begins, which prepares the uterus to receive the embryo. In this phase of the cycle, a woman experiences PMS, she feels sluggish and sluggish as the body retains more water.

You can make a note of all of these symptoms in the menstrual calculator. The calculator also accepts bleeding information, such as light, medium, and heavy. It’s worth adding a detailed note about intercourse to keep in mind when it was and whether it was sex with or without protection. The calculator also allows you to mark the sensation of high sex drive. In addition, you can mark the results of the pregnancy test and the ovulation test, as well as things that affect the menstrual cycle, such as travel, drinking alcohol, insomnia, fatigue, stress. All these factors are important information about a woman’s health. There is no separate irregular menstrual calculator, in case of irregular menstruation, the prediction of the calculator may be unlikely, but you should add other notes very meticulously, observe the mucus, and also perform ovulation tests and enter data, which will make the calculator’s predictions more reliable.
