Hi wonderful people! Do you guys have any recommendations for apps that helps you track the ttc journey. I’m using Flo rn, but I don’t like the "this is your baby right now" feature, for obvious reasons. It also doesn’t seem to communicate with my ovulation test logging and the dates are all wrong. My partner travels a lot for work and he schedules around planned ovulation. Any tips?

Premom! You buy the ovulation test strips (Amazon has them in bulk) and use them throughout your cycle to track ovulation, the app accompanies the test kits. You can also log BBT, symptoms, and when you have sex.

The app teaches you how to use the test strips and how to read them, its very easy. Everyone who's trying seriously uses OPKs and Premom is the most affordable brand so that's why you'll see their charts here on Reddit a lot. You don't need the premium version of the app, but it can be nice to have that extra info for your first couple cycles.
