iFertility learns your body's cycles to make conceiving simple and stress free Your fertility can be such a complicated thing to understand, which leads to a lot of frustration when you're trying to get pregnant. To have the best chance of conceiving you need to have sex while you are ovulating. Ovulation usually starts around two weeks after your period. There are a couple of physical symptoms you can use to do an ovulation test - cervical mucus and body temperature. Tracking your cervical mucus can be a bit complicated and isn't always reliable as it can be hard to tell the difference between types. Tracking your Basal Body Temperature (BBT) is much easier. Your BBT is your lowest body temperature in a 24-hour period; this is generally when you first wake up in the morning. It's normally between 36 and 36.5 degrees Celsius (97.2 - 97.7 Fahrenheit) but while you are ovulating it goes up by 0.5 to 1 degrees. By tracking these changes over a few months, you can find out the pattern of your cycle so that you know precisely when is a good time to try conceiving. The iFertracker app makes monitoring your cycle easier than ever! The iFertility fertility monitor makes this so much easier than trying to keep track in a notebook. All you need to do is attach the thermometer under your armpit overnight and it will take your temperature 20,000 times as you sleep! You can then upload the data into the special iFertracker app. This allows you to see all your temperature readings at a glance in calendars and charts. After a couple of months, iFertracker can tell you when you will next ovulate, as well as when your period is due. You can set reminders for medication, ovulation and menstruation so that your phone alerts you.
