How accurate are online Ovulation Calculator & Fertility Calendar apps ?

Most of the online ovulation calculators and fertility apps are often wrong or misleading.
Here is a simple litmus test. For women with average cycle of 14 days, most apps recommend day 11 to 15 as fertile days of cycle. However according to "Standard Days Method" (SDM) which is a viable method of contraception having effectiveness of 95%, days 8 to 19 of a women’s menstrual cycle are fertile period for women who have cycle length between 26 to 32 days.
You can clearly see that out of total 12 potentially fertile days many couples could be missing critical opportunities for conception each month if they follow these misleading apps.
Now if you try this Ovulation Calculator with cycle length of 28 days, it will identify a fertile period of 10 days from day 9 to day 18 of the cycle. To be more accurate there are chances of conception on day 8 and 19 also, which we have intentionally excluded, because on these days the chances of conception are very low about less than 2%. This clearly indicates that our application is much more precise and accurate.

What is a menstrual cycle ?

When periods (Menstruations) come regularly, this is called the menstrual cycle. Having regular menstrual cycles is a sign that important parts of your body are working normally. The menstrual cycle provides important body chemicals, called hormones, to keep you healthy. It also prepares your body for pregnancy each month. A cycle is counted from the first day of 1 period to the first day of the next period. The average menstrual cycle is 28 days long. Cycles can range anywhere from 21 to 35 days in adults and from 21 to 45 days in young teens.

What happens during the menstrual cycle ?

In the first half of the cycle, levels of estrogen start to rise, and makes the lining of the uterus (womb) grow and thicken. At the same time an egg, or ovum, in one of the ovaries starts to mature. At about day 14 of an average 28-day cycle, the egg leaves the ovary. This is called ovulation.
After the egg has left the ovary, it travels through the fallopian tube to the uterus. Hormone levels rise and help prepare the uterine lining for pregnancy. A woman is most likely to get pregnant during the 3 days before or on the day of ovulation. Keep in mind, women with cycles that are shorter or longer than average may ovulate before or after day 14.
A woman becomes pregnant if the egg is fertilized by a man's sperm cell and attaches to the uterine wall. If the egg is not fertilized, it will break apart. Then, hormone levels drop, and the thickened lining of the uterus is shed during the menstrual period.
