    I'm pretty regular, but it's more of a 37 day cycle.
    What I wouldn't kill for this. Mine is more like 26 days. le sigh.

    I had no idea there was an app for this. Does it beep or send you an email when your cycle has arrived.. or should arrive? lol. The calendar has always been effective also but if the app helps then thats good too :)

    I might be super old fashion, but can't you just use a calendar?

    I have been trying to get that bug off my screen, I feel really stupid now...:tongue:

    I use the iPeriod app (the free version) and it's awesome. I always thought I was ovulating all over the place because my periods are very irregular but after tracking it for 6 months I now see when I ovulate is actually very predictable, which would be great to know if I was trying to conceive!

    I highly recommend fertility friend.. you can track your fertility signs and your temperature too once you're TTC. :)

    I have a free app and all it ever does is worry me. I've never been regular.

    I use one on my Palm phone. It's like PinkPad or something. I can't take hormonal birth control so I like that it keeps track of my cycle AND lets me know my ovulation and "fertile" days (IE days to be extra special careful since I'm not trying to conceive).
    Of course, it's much easier than tracking all of that stuff on paper and showing up to my doctor's office with piles of paper.

    This app also tracks weight fluctuations, has an area you can fill in your mood, basal temp (body temp when you first wake up - high days are likely to be fertile days), and make any notes you want.

    The most helpful bit for me, is it alerts me the day it thinks my period will start - has cut down on surprises.

    That's the one I have!

    For TTC I recommended Fertility Friend. It's similar to MFP where it has a set of forums and website, that is supported by the app.

    I have PCOS so I have longer cycles and FF takes that into account, and 'learns' your cycle over a few cycles.

    I'm no longer TTC though, so I've switched to PinkPad. I don't think it's as good, but since I have wonky all over the place cycles, it just might not be as good for me.

    Haha... I know it's probably irrelevant to the conversation but I also like the cute pink flowers theme. I find it especially ironic when I am bloated and recording I gained 6 lbs in a week the week before my period and those flowers are all happy looking at me.

    Did you get the free one or the pay version?

    Ditto.... I have cycle issues, and I've used this for many years now. There's a basic section that's free and then you can get premium tools/options for a subscription fee that are extremely helpful for TTC. They have forums and such too. Really great site.

    I use iPeriod too. I upgraded when they had a $.99 special just because I like the extra backgrounds and icons. (Yes, I am a dork!) :D It tracks well, easy to use and I've come to rely on it. I like that it will forecast the next 12 (reasonable estimate based on your previous data.)

    I keep track of my wife's "monthly visitor" by counting stones in the front yard.

    My phone is way too old-school for that, but my best friend has that app on hers. It always cracks me up when she says stuff like, "My phone says I'm supposed to start in 3 days" or something - and amazingly it's usually right on the money!

    Haha!

    Edited to add: I meant to quote the reply above mine about the stones - that's too funny!
