Every married couple yearns for a baby. Many ways are done to undergo a conception planning program. With the sophistication of technology, you can now use technology to facilitate your pregnancy program. Not only that, health applications are also useful for the family planning program that you are currently undergoing.
Benefits of Using Fertility Apps for Pregnancy Planning
Pregnancy can indeed occur naturally after a married couple has sexual intercourse. But for some couples, for various reasons, they need to undergo a pregnancy program.
Usually, a pregnancy program includes several activities, namely:
- Consultation with a doctor regarding the couple's reproductive health, overall health condition, wife's pregnancy history, nutrition and exercise intake, genetic consultation, and weight changes to facilitate the pregnancy process.
- Having intercourse every woman's fertile window regularly without using contraceptives.
In addition to regularly consulting a doctor, you can now take advantage of health applications to help smooth your pregnancy program. Here are some things that fertility apps can do to help your pregnancy program:
Tracking the fertile period
You can calculate your fertile period manually by writing on a calendar or recording it in a book. But sometimes this method is not practical and there is a possibility that you forget to record it regularly.
With an application that helps calculate your ovulation window, you can easily find out your menstrual cycle in detail, when your ovulation or fertile period arrives.
This feature is not only useful for those of you who are undergoing a pregnancy program, but also for those of you who are planning pregnancy spacing.
Record vaginal bleeding and mucus conditions
In addition to recording the menstrual cycle and fertile window, fertility apps generally also have features to record unexpected bleeding or the appearance of blood spots. Some apps also provide a record of the appearance of unusual cervical mucus to consult with a doctor.
Reminder to take medication
Fertility apps can be used not only for those of you who are in a pregnancy program, but also for those of you who are planning not to get pregnant. One useful feature is a reminder to take medications and supplements.
For those of you who are in a pregnancy program, this feature can be used to run reminders to take vitamins and other necessary supplements. As for those of you who are on a family planning program by taking birth control pills, this feature is useful to remind you to take your birth control pills so that you don't miss them.
Sharing information
On some health apps, there are forums provided for women to share their complaints and experiences. There is also a Q&A feature with doctors where people can ask questions to be answered by professional doctors. Couples who are participating in a pregnancy program can get information on things to do and avoid during the program.
Nowadays, there are many health apps that can help you with your pregnancy program. Choose an app that provides accurate data according to your needs.
If you require medical advice or consultation, you can visit a doctor or use the consultation features available in the Ai Care application by downloading it from the App Store or Play Store.
