Therefore, a clear knowledge of this time period will help you get pregnant much faster. And with guaranteed reproductive programs of the Feskov Human Reproductive Group for a fixed price, a family with any infertility problems will be able to have a baby.

Features of using a fertility app

Special programs that are available for download on smartphones and tablets that help track the menstrual cycle and the onset of ovulation are called fertility apps. The user needs to regularly enter data about the menstrual cycle:

• start and end dates of menstruation;
• basal body temperature;
• the presence of bloody discharge;
• presence of cervical mucus, etc.

Some apps allow you to enter information such as PMS symptoms and other detailed health data. Based on the calendar, the program processes the input and provides individual information about the current location in the cycle. Thus, you can predict the most fertile days - the so-called “fertility window”.

To make the forecasts as accurate as possible, you need to use one program for several months and scrupulously enter all the required data.

Why are fertility apps needed?

Today, most women prefer to use digital note-taking platforms rather than a notebook and pen. Therefore, the fertility app can be a more comprehensive and confidential way to schedule your menstrual cycle. Moreover, it is more convenient than calendar entries.

Many programs make the necessary calculations, predicting favorable days for conception, the onset of ovulation, when to wait for the next period. And also, what the totality of symptoms, cycles and graphs can mean in general picture of reproductive health.

However, it should be borne in mind that most programs use standard algorithms to predict fertility checkpoints - menstruation and ovulation. And if a woman has an irregular, too long or short cycle, personal data may not match the calculations of the applications.

Fertility app users

Any woman who is menstruating can benefit from these programs. Since most of them have flexible enough conditions for entering different data:

• tracking monthly cycles;
• management of PMS symptoms;
• prevention of pregnancy (with or without contraception);
• pregnancy (with or without fertility treatments);
• watching for signs and symptoms of menopause;
• obtaining clearer information about the state of health, with reference to the menstrual cycle.

Thus, the program helps not only to get pregnant faster, but also to provide a better understanding of the characteristics of your body and the processes taking place in it.

Fertility apps cost

Most of the applications are freely available. This means that they can be downloaded for free on any gadget and used at a basic level (entering calendar data on menstruation and ovulation). Many remain free, even if users get access to additional features:

• message boards;
• fertile period reminders;
• health information;
• forecasts.

Some apps charge a fee for advanced features, and some are with additional costs. For example, program-linked basal thermometers or permanent membership.

When is it appropriate to use fertility apps

When the girl starts her period, she can already start using these programs. Since the level of reproductive health directly affects overall well-being, including hormones, mental health, as well as the need for sleep, nutrition, and exercise.

However, the app does not replace visits to the gynecologist or reproductive treatment. In case of unsuccessful attempts to get pregnant during the year, excessively heavy, painful or irregular menstruation, suspicion of pregnancy, you need to make an appointment with a doctor.

With all the advantages of new technologies, in the issue of preventing unwanted pregnancies, one should not rely only on the program. It is better, in parallel, to be protected by other available means.

Also, it is worth remembering that all technologies in the world cannot guarantee the accuracy of the program. If you rely solely on it, you may not achieve the expected results. It is more of a tool to complement knowledge of reproductive health rather than the last word in female fertility.

It's like with IVF. First, you need to use all the opportunities to become pregnant naturally. And if it doesn't work, you can also resort to artificial insemination, as an important tool in the process of conception.

Application selection criteria

The accuracy of any fertility program will be as clear as the data entered. In addition, fertility can vary from month to month, fluctuating with stress, travel, sleep, illness, and many other factors.

How to choose the right program:

1. Cost. Most of the offered apps are free. Some have premium paid memberships with additional features. However, you can simply track your cycles in them for free.
2. Safety. In these program options, the confidentiality of all personal health data is guaranteed. You can share it in communities solely under your personal responsibility and at will.
3. Empowerment. You cannot judge an application by its results. However, it can be judged by how well it helps a woman to know her reproductive health. And also better understand the work of your own body. And if it helps to achieve the desired results - from preventing pregnancy to conceiving – it’s ideal.

In general, the application should be available around the clock, convenient to use, without hidden paid services.
