This subpage contains the data and risk models used on the main page. The data is based on population averages and is used to generate a risk estimate.

Age-Related Fertility

This table provides a relative fertility multiplier based on the woman's age. A value of 1.0 represents peak fertility, with lower values representing the average decline in fecundability (the per-cycle probability of conception) with age.

age_description age_multiplier

Under 25

1.0

25-30

0.9

31-39

0.65

40 and over

0.25

The risk is based on per-cycle conception rates.

Timing of Intercourse

This table provides the baseline, single-event probability of conception based on when intercourse occurred relative to the start of the last menstrual period. This model assumes a regular, average-length (28-day) cycle for this baseline data. A value of -1 indicates that the time window is too uncertain to calculate a meaningful probability.

timing_description timing_base_probability

1-7 days ago (During or just after my period)

0.01

8-13 days ago (About a week after my period)

0.15

14-20 days ago (About two weeks after my period)

0.33

21-28 days ago (In the week my next period was due)

0.005

More than 28 days ago

-1

The probabilities represent the chance of conception from a single act of intercourse.

Menstrual Cycle Profile

This table provides a multiplier to adjust the risk based on cycle regularity. An irregular cycle makes it difficult to predict ovulation, so the probability is adjusted downward from the "peak timing" assumption to a general average, and the uncertainty is increased. A `cycle_uncertainty_factor` greater than 1.0 triggers a special message.

cycle_description cycle_multiplier cycle_uncertainty_factor

Regular and short (25 days or less)

The multiplier adjusts the single-event probability.

Risk Models

This section defines the calculations and output text for the risk estimates on the main page.

  RiskModel: Chances of Getting Pregnant After Sex/Data:PregnancyRiskPerEvent
    Content: 
{{#ifexpr: {result} < 0
| ''Because your last period started more than 28 days ago, it is not possible to provide a reliable estimate. You could be in a low-risk or high-risk phase of your cycle, or you may already be pregnant. Consider taking a pregnancy test if your period is late.''
| {{#ifexpr: {cycle_uncertainty_factor} > 1.5
  | ''Because your cycle is irregular, your chances are highly variable and difficult to predict. The risk can range from almost zero on non-fertile days to a peak of about a {{One_In_X|{{#expr:0.33 * {age_multiplier} }} }} chance on your most fertile day.''
  | Your estimated chance of pregnancy is about '''{{One_In_X|{result}}}''' from this event.
  }}
}}

Calculation Explanation: The model calculates the final risk by taking the timing_base_probability and adjusting it using the multipliers for age_multiplier and cycle_multiplier. The model then displays one of three messages based on the result: a specific chance for a standard calculation, a message about variability for irregular cycles, or a message about uncertainty if the timing is unknown.
