Trouble TTC

Darn technology

Anybody here using the Shine app? I just have to vent for two seconds.

I have been using the app for a little over a month and have liked it because it keeps a log of temp, cervical fluid, when you do the BD, menstrual periods and symptoms, ovulation test results, and pregnancy test results.  It's convenient because I keep my phone right by my bed so I can log my temp right away in the morning and I can add to it throughout the day if needed.

So I finished a whole cycle using this app and planned on transferring everything to a paper form so I could take it with me to my first appointment with the new gyno.  Literally, the morning I plan on writing it all down, I go to add my info for my new cycle start.....and it crashes.  I literally have to uninstall the app and reinstall it, fingers crossed that (because I could still sign in with my old account and not have to start a new one) that my old cycle info would be somewhere in the internet universe.

Nope, all gone.  I lost all my information from my last cycle. Lesson of the story being, always have a backup. Grrr

  • Boo!  That's incredibly frustrating!  I run two different apps - MyDays and Ovia cause I like them both for different reasons and I also have one on a 28 day cycle and one on a 30 day cycle since I vary.  I recommend either (or both).

  • Oh, no!!!!!!!!  The one I hear everyone talking about is Fertility Friend, I haven't tried that one yet, I just started using Shine since I downloaded The Bump app. But since I started temping I have been using Kindara, which has been pretty great.
