There's An App For That

So DH and I have been considering baby #2... Maybe... Kinda... Sometime in the near future.  : D  As you can see we are a little indecivise about this decision so far.  I want another baby and I don't want a big age gap between Logan and his sibling, but it took us 3 years to conceive Logan.

Here are a few things about me you might want to know.  1.  I have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) which makes it difficult to conceive.  2.  My cycles are very irregular.  This is due to the PCOS too.

Stay tuned for a whole article dedicated to natural treatments of PCOS. 

In preparation of possible trying to conceive time (TTC), I have found a few useful apps.  I use all of these on my iPhone, but I'm sure other smart phones have similar apps.

1.  iBirth Pregnancy App ($2.99)- This is my favorite app.  It is several apps combined in one.  This app includes a contraction timer, videos, positions for labor, prenatal nutrition guide, tips, and lists.  Excellent app!

2.  My Cycles (Free)-  This was the first app I bought to track my fertility.  Since my periods are irregular it doesn't work well for me.  If you have a regular predictable cycle, then this is a nice free app.  It includes your ovulation day, fertility window, and symptom tracker.

3.  Period Tracker Deluxe ($1.99)-  I upgraded to this app after using My Cycles.  Period Tracker logs your dates and calculates your menstrual cycle based on the average of your last 3 periods.  Also allows you to chart your basal body temperature and other symptoms.  Comes with nice graphics and beautiful charts.

4.  Pregnancy and Baby (Free)-  An app that is full of information.  Follow a week-by-week outline of your baby's development with brilliant images from inside the womb.

5.  Due Date Calc OB ($1.99)-  This app is a little strange to use at first.  It is filled with acronyms and it is hard to understand.  Once you figure out how to use the app, it is informative.  Or if you can calculate you date of conception, you can lock it in and it will count down to the due date for you. 

6.  My Diet Diary (Free)-  One of many apps to keep track of what you eat.  We all know how important nutrition is during pregnancy, so this app will help moms make sure they are eating right for their babies. 

My question to all of you out there...  What are your favorite apps to use??
