Is an ovulation calculator accurate?

I am a 31 year old female and I want to get pregnant now. Is an ovulation calculator accurate?

Probably a little more accurate than just monitoring your temperature, but a whole lot more expensive. Would recommend a consultation with an OB/GYN.
Some ovulation calculator apps are better than others and can assist in family planning. The bigger problem with them is that they still rely on a fairly regular cycle profile, so if your period is somewhat irregular, they can be wrong. Best advice, after you try for a little bit, if you see no good results, seek assistance from your gynecologist.

It is better if used with a urine LH test. It can be bought online with instructions.
Most of them that I am familiar with are reasonably accurate.
