Identifying the sensation when you wipe your vulva is incredibly important for fertility awareness to be effective.
Unfortunately, a lot of popular fertility awareness apps don’t have space to record this, so people who have only learned from a book or an app may be misinterpreting their fertile days.
Read on to see why it’s so important and how to improve your charting.
There are tons of charting apps out there (over 100!) so how are you supposed to know which one is best to use? Many of them are based off the Rhythm Method (which doesn’t work), and lots are simply period predictors so not useful for actual fertility charting.
Lucky for us, a study just came out that reviewed tons of different apps and created a rating scale to compare them as birth control.
There are so many apps, devices, and discussion groups floating around the interwebs these days that it’s enough to make a person wonder if they can really be successful with charting on their own. What app should you use? What discussion board will be most helpful? Can you really do it without some kind of device to back you up?
