Ovulation tracker

Ovulation

Most women track their cycle in several ways, whether it's with a basic app, a calendar, noting the days mentally and now with some nifty gadget. But beyond tracking your period or ovulation, an ovulation device offers a more inclusive look into a woman's sexual, menstrual, and reproductive health. The device can look at the nine physiological parameters then gathers millions of data points which sends the data to your smartphone. In the morning, you can check the graphs and info collected to see if it's an optimal time to conceive.

For years I used a regular old period tracker - I have a regular cycle but it fluctuates in length by 1-3 days throughout the year. I wound up just going back to my old period tracker and got pregnant really quickly - turns out that folks are right about just relaxing

@irossm8 I?m curious about how long it takes people when they do start to try.

  • Reply

@irossm8 ?Just Relax? doesn?t do anything medical, though, to clarify. Tons of people seem to think it does.

@jmendozama It can help mentally though, to not feel so stressed out

  • Reply

@jmendozama yeah, there?s no evidence that it will help your chances in any direct way.

?Taking Charge of your Fertility? should be mandatory reading for every woman in entire world.?

@ajordanmd I couldn?t believe how little they actually teach us ? and I took biology in college

  • Reply

@ajordanmd ?It?s a very easy read but extremely thorough, and nothing like those dumb ?Your First Period? books they give you as a kid.?

@jboydmf Agreed! This should be part of a standard education, and for everyone not just girls.

@jboydmf I AGREE.

If you want to get pregnant, start having sex on day seven, have sex every second day day until your temp goes up for three days. If that doesn?t work after six months go to the doctor.

@jreedmi I used to think that I ovulated right before my period.

  • Reply

@jreedmi None of the books I was given as a teen mentioned that it was two weeks before. I could not believe how much I didn?t know before reading that book.

@jfernandezmk Meh. Just do it at least once a day

Have you tried Fertility Friend? It has so many data options?

@wmatthewsms this feels like more of a science experiment than anything else.

@wmatthewsms Good luck to all of you.

@wmatthewsms ?I started using both Glow and Ovia simultaneously when we started trying. I had Glow for about 4 months while I was still on the pill then launched Ovia when I stopped taking them.

@slarsonmv Glow was sooooo off with its predictions.

  • Reply

@slarsonmv ?I?ll probably ditch Glow and just use Ovia as a tracker rather than a prediction assistant. When I can bare to open them again, that is. :(

@dhughesn3 Have you read Taking Charge of Your Fertility?

  • Reply

@pmontgomeryn4 In my circle of friends it is known as THE MAGIC BOOK. Dude, it is magic.

@pmontgomeryn4 I went and ordered a used copy on Amazon. Thanks for the tip!

Any idea how good this app is for folks with somewhat erratic cycles?

  • Reply

@jpowelln7 I have an IUD and am not on any kind of cycle at the moment, but have been using Clue, and it seems like it's starting to figure me out a bit.?

  • Reply

@jpowelln7 I haven?t been using it that long, so I can?t vouch for how it works with changes in cycles month-to-month.

@kdixonn9 And your data is stored safely in the cloud of course.

So how would you go about the process of finding out when you are fertile and such? I'm really interested in this natural birth control.

  • Reply

@jgomeznb I definitely use the app to just store information. I hated going to the gyno office and saying, um, I really don't know when my last period was This is very interesting, I feel like I could never fully trust an app to know my cycle enough to de

@jgomeznb I use my fertile window as good times for photos, outings, etc. It's scientifically proven that women are most attractive during that time frame.

@bdavisnd I'm on nexaplanon implant and have periods occasionally and the tracker has no option for this kind of birth control to track more accurately?

  • Reply

@bdavisnd I believe that's because you don't ovulate when on hormonal birth control, and the apps usually track your ovulation mostly!?

  • Reply

I have totally been using apps to track fertility!

@ajordanng I use it for the opposite

@ajordanng I want to get deeper in the natural birth control methods but I take allergy pills which I assume change my body mucus. What do you suggest I do??

@aperkinsni When I took the Natural Family Planning class my teachers told me I'd need to rely more on my temperature and cervical position. I mainly rely on my temperature now
