Calculation Using An ovulation Calendar: 1  The first day of a period is considered as day 1. 2  Usually on day 14, the egg is released and is waiting for the sperm to fertilize it. 3  The egg has a lifespan of just 12 to 24 hours whereas a sperm can last for about 72 hours in a woman.
The length of the cycle is measured from Day 1 of one cycle (bleed) to Day 1 of the next cycle (bleed). Your menstrual cycle length and the day of ovulation are directly related. Your menstrual period begins about 14 days after you ovulate. If ovulation occurs on approximately day 14 of a womanâs cycle then your next period starts about 14 days later and the cycle length is 28 days. Ovulation happens when a mature egg is released from the ovary. It is then picked up by the fallopian tube and is available to be fertilized.
