Predicting Ovulation for Conception
{In no situation do we ever recommend that fertility diagnosis or treatment be undertaken without the oversight of a qualified medical practitioner. Please use the enclosed information as quick reference and for discussion aids with your practitioner.}

Ovulation Tracking Software & Calculators
Software:
There are a growing number of computer software programs which may be purchased online or off, all of which are efficient ways of tracking your ovulation cycle. They work by collecting information (input by you) about your cycle, and then analyzing the data to signal when your fertile time has arrived.
The most important factor to be aware of is that one must be knowledgeable on the sympto-thermal methods (discussed previously) in order to have data to input into these programs. It also helps to be somewhat proficient in using software programs in general, although some are much more user-friendly than others.
In addition to software programs which are purchased and installed on a user's hard-drive are those which are maintained entirely online. Several websites now offer such services, in which a consumer enters their cycle information using online forms, and the data is analyzed and translated in a usable manner back to the consumer. Some of these websites also offer chart analysis by counselors.
A primary benefit of software programs is the increased organization of your charting efforts and reduction of paper clutter.
Calculators:
Many websites, especially pregnancy-oriented ones, offer online ovulation calculators. These are primarily based on the Calendar method (discussed above), and therefore, are not viewed as extremely reliable, particularly for anyone who has had difficulty achieving conception.
