Truthbomb: Your phone doesn’t know when you’re fertile.

I seem to have developed quite the reputation for being anti-app. I’m not necessarily anti-app, but I am anti-crappy apps and it seems that there are a lot of them out there.

The internet is completely flooded with period and ovulation tracking apps that claim to help you to monitor your menstrual cycle and your fertile window. Here’s the bad news – most of them are nothing more than a high-tech version of the rhythm method.

Here’s What We’re Talking About:

Why I’ll always be a pen and paper girl, and why I’m anti-crappy-apps
When your tracking app can be super helpful, and when to delete it
My app recommendation (because I know you’re going to ask!)
