A doctor’s visit to understand one’s menstrual cycle and thereby assess the most fertile days was perhaps your mom’s best bet too – if it was a planned pregnancy at all! Most often, in your mom’s generation, it was left to good luck and prayers before she could share the good news with the family about your arrival.

3. Why you should use it?
With an ovulation calendar you can, not only track your most fertile days but also observe your menstrual cycle more closely. Most calendars can predict your fertile days day of ovulation and your next expected period date, based on the information provided. So in case you have an irregular cycle, then you can quite accurately assess how delayed you are each month, without having to make a physical note of it every month. However, do bear in mind that the results of your ovulation date may not be accurate in case you do have an irregular menstrual cycle, as most of the calendars available online are based on the assumption that you have a fairly regular cycle.
