There is one period which gives itself away, but unless I fumbled my biology skill, the time of best fertility isn't different in feel from the period before.

Because it doesn't, really. Tolat moves "along the Southpath", i.e. in a highly irregular pattern across the southern sky, rising somewhere southeast and going somewhere southwest two weeks later, with no predictable course in the meantime. While it is away, it is easy to lose count of days, while it's visible, its position doesn't really tell how long it will remain visible.
