Period/Ovulation Calculators on My Monthly Cycles

How accurate would you say the calculators on the site My Monthly Cycles [dot] com are? Ive been tracking my period and ovulation, and so far it's been alright with the period. I am no wondering if the ovulation is correct as well.

I'm not your average 28 day cycle gal, more so a 32 day cycle, so trying to figure out when I ovulate is somewhat iffy for me. My next expected due date for my period is the 9th of November, thus making ovulation this past weekend.

Any thoughts?

It was almost never right for me, but I have odd luteal phases (formerly 9 days, more recently 16 days). I mostly used them to amuse myself with how off they were. I also have irregular periods, so it never knew when to expect my ovulation either. Which was fine, of course, because I generally had a pretty good idea.
You're better off tracking symptoms -- cervical mucous/position, temperature changes, etc if you really want to know. And if you're fairly regular, I'd wager the calculators would be pretty accurate, because they just average the data you've given them from the past.
