You’ve probably heard of period tracking apps, especially popular ones like Clue, but did you know that these apps also have fertility and ovulation tracking technology? Some apps are even geared towards helping you get pregnant, offering a community of like-minded people going through the same things.
Although there are physical ovulation and fertility tests, an app can help you organize the results of these tests and help you get even better estimates of when your best chances of conceiving are. It’s important to note that these apps will never be 100% accurate, but they will at least give you an idea of when your fertile window typically falls.

1. Note
Clue is one of the most popular period tracking apps, but it can also provide valuable information about your ovulation cycle. The app used to have a fertile window on the home screen, but since it’s not entirely accurate and not everyone needs to know this information, Clue is making some changes.
Now, to keep up to date with your fertility, you need to go to the app’s settings, select Ovulation and toggle on the option to view your possible ovulation days. With this enabled, you can navigate to specific days of the month and see if it’s listed as a potentially fertile day.

2. Flo
Flo is a great app to have on your phone if you are trying to conceive or want to track your pregnancy.
When you download the app for the first time and sign up, you can choose between three options as your main goal: Track Cycle, Get Pregnant, or Track Pregnancy. Depending on which destination you choose, the app tracks and displays different information and caters to your personal needs.
If you select “Get pregnant” as your goal, a message will appear on the home screen letting you know when your best chances of conception are and your estimated ovulation day. And if you’re doing ovulation or fertility testing in real life, you can input that information and Flo will use it to make better, more accurate predictions for you.

3. Ovia
When you set up your Ovia profile, you choose whether you want to just track your period cycle or actively try to conceive. Once you complete a full cycle with the Ovia app, you can see various analytics trends such as: B. Your cycle trends, a cycle summary and a fertility chart.
The home screen shows your fertility score, the number of days until your estimated fertile window, the phase of your cycle you are in, and a fertility forecast for the next one to two weeks. You can also view all of this information in a broader array in the calendar view. In the calendar view, you can view estimates for your fertile window after more than two weeks.
Ovia also has quite a bit of educational content that can be great for both new and existing parents. There is written content and videos on fertility, pregnancy, dealing with infertility, recipes and other useful information.

4. Glow
Like other fertility and period tracking apps, Glow lets you select a goal and choose between tracking your cycle, trying to conceive, or tracking an existing pregnancy.
There’s an extensive health profile that you can also fill out to get the most accurate estimates, including key information about your partner, traditional menstrual questions, and your past fertility and birth dates.
On the home screen, your Fertility Prediction shows you what phase of your cycle you are currently in, as well as an overall low or high fertility estimate for that day. If you then look at the calendar, you can see when your estimated ovulation day is and when you are most likely to conceive.
Glow also features a range of curated content on fertility, pregnancy, periods and more from multiple sites. There is also a community where you can find other people at different stages of their pregnancy journey.

5. Fertility Friend
Many fertility or ovulation tracking apps require you to sign up for an account using your email address. However, if you don’t want that, Fertility Friend has a simple ovulation calculator that you can use. This simple calculator doesn’t require any information from you, but provides limited information on which days you are likely to be most fertile.
For more detailed analysis and community features, you need to sign in with your email or Google account. On the start screen you can see which days you are likely to be the most fertile. The longer you track your cycle, the more accurate these estimates will be.
You can also track all sorts of data about your cycle, including cervical fluid, various tests, mood and energy, medications, and more.

6. Period Tracker
Period Tracker is a cute and simple tracker that you can use to both try to conceive and track your period cycle afterwards. On the home screen you will see a simple indicator with the day of your next period and your next fertile day.
If you prefer to look at things more broadly, you can select the calendar view to see estimates for the current month and a few months beyond. If you click on an individual day, you will get an estimate for that day’s fertility as low, medium or high.

7. Ovulation calendar
On the Ovulation Calendar home screen, you will see a weekly view and a display of your estimated chance of conceiving for the selected day. With the plus sign on the home screen you can add all the important information of the day, e.g. B. Your temperature, sexual intercourse details and any other symptoms or tests taken that day.
In the app’s Discover tab you will find very helpful posts about trying to conceive, as well as information about your menstrual cycle and PMS symptoms before and after pregnancy. Then, when you become pregnant, you can turn on pregnancy mode in the app and track your baby’s progress for the next nine to ten months.

Enjoy the trip!
Whether this is your first child or not, the pregnancy process isn’t exactly as glamorous as it is in the movies. You often don’t get pregnant on the first try, and certain things can feel more like a chore than the sheer fun it used to be.
With helpful modern tools like digital fertility monitors and apps to track your fertile window and ovulation days, it’s a little easier to get pregnant, or at least to know when your chances of conceiving are best. And while it can be a stressful process, just try to remember that you will have a baby when all is said and done.
