Life stage

Trying to conceive, with your cycle on record

Log your period, any spotting and each ovulation test. The app keeps the dates in order and shows estimated fertile days, so you're not counting on your fingers every month.

The short answer

You can get pregnant from sex in the 5 days before ovulation, on the day itself and the day after. In an average 28-day cycle, ovulation falls about 14 days before the next period, though it moves from cycle to cycle.[1]

Her Good Days records your periods and test results and shows an estimated fertile window. It's a record and an estimate, with no guarantee in either direction.

A month in the log

When you choose "trying" in the cycle settings, your Log menu leads with these:

  1. Ovulation test: positive or negative, with the time you took it.
  2. Period: the first day matters most, because every estimate counts from it.
  3. Temperature (BBT): your waking temperature, if you take it.
  4. Cervical fluid and Sex: for the days around your estimated fertile window.
The Log menu while trying to conceive: Again, Mood at 8:10 AM, then Ovulation test, Period, Temperature (BBT), Cervical fluid, Sex and More
Trying: Ovulation test, Period, Temperature, Cervical fluid, Sex.
The Cycle and fertility mini app: Flow or spotting and Ovulation test, each with a Log button

Estimates only. The fertile days in the app come from your past cycle lengths. They can't confirm ovulation, and they aren't birth control.

Bringing it to a doctor

ACOG recommends a fertility check after 12 months of trying, or after 6 months if you're over 35. Over 40, talk to your doctor now.[2] If your periods are irregular, or you have none, the NHS says to see a doctor.[3]

The doctor report prints your cycle lengths, period dates and test results, which is often the first thing a fertility appointment asks for.

Your data, kept close

Fertility and pregnancy entries are among the most sensitive things you can put in an app. Notifications never say what you logged, and you can delete everything from settings. More on privacy.

Questions

When is the fertile window?

ACOG says you can get pregnant from sex anywhere from 5 days before ovulation until 1 day after it. In a 28-day cycle ovulation happens about 14 days before the next period, but that varies, which is why the app shows it as an estimate.

Does the app predict when I will get pregnant?

No. It keeps your period dates, test results and notes, and shows estimated fertile days from your cycle lengths. It makes no fertility predictions and no promises.

Can I use it to avoid pregnancy?

No. The estimates aren't birth control and should never be used to prevent a pregnancy.

When should we see a doctor?

ACOG recommends a fertility check after a year of trying, after 6 months if you're over 35, and a talk with your doctor straight away if you're over 40. If your periods are irregular, the NHS says to see a doctor.
