Ovulation Calculators require little information from you like the exact starting date of your last Menstrual period, the average length of cycles and the average Luteal Phase length. The Luteal Phase is the interval starting the day after ovulation takes place and runs through the remainder of your menstrual cycle to day one of your next cycle. The length of your LP - or luteal phase - will typically be between 11 and 16 days.
The output of the Calculator normally shows the estimated: Ovulation date, Due date (delivery date) and estimated Fetal age.
