It gives an estimate, but PCOS frequently causes irregular or absent ovulation, so calendar prediction alone is unreliable. Use it as a guide, then confirm ovulation with LH ovulation strips or basal body temperature, and speak to your doctor about cycle tracking or ovulation induction if you're trying to conceive.

Yes. Many women with PCOS do ovulate, just less regularly. Some cycles are anovulatory (no egg released). Tracking with LH kits over a few months helps you see whether and when you ovulate. Lifestyle measures and medical treatments can also help restore ovulation.

Doctors often check hormone levels (LH, FSH, testosterone, AMH), thyroid function, blood sugar/insulin, and a pelvic ultrasound. PingMeDoc offers these as home-collection lab tests — discuss the right panel with your gynaecologist.

It uses the calendar method: in a typical 28-day cycle, ovulation happens around day 14 (counting day 1 as the first day of your last period). The fertile window is the 5 days leading up to ovulation plus the day of ovulation itself — sperm can survive for 3–5 days, so intercourse during this window has the highest chance of conception. Enter your last period date and average cycle length, and the calculator computes your fertile window, ovulation day, and implantation date for the next 6 cycles.

Your most fertile days are typically the 3 days before ovulation plus ovulation day itself. For a regular 28-day cycle, that's roughly days 11–15 (counting day 1 as your first day of menstruation). For longer or shorter cycles, the fertile window shifts proportionally — this calculator does the math for your specific cycle length.

Implantation happens 6–12 days after ovulation, when a fertilised egg attaches to the uterine lining. The calculator estimates this window — useful if you're tracking for early pregnancy testing or noticing implantation symptoms (light spotting, mild cramping).

Home pregnancy tests detect the hCG hormone produced after implantation. Most tests are accurate from 7–10 days after ovulation, with the most reliable results 14 days after ovulation (around the time your next period would start). The calculator shows the earliest test date for each cycle so you don't test too soon.

No. It's an educational tool based on calendar averages. If you've been trying to conceive for over a year (or 6 months if you're over 35), or have known fertility concerns like PCOS, consult a gynaecologist or fertility specialist for personalised assessment.
