Period tracker app?

Especially if you are not TTC, do you use an app to track AF or do you just mark a calendar?

I finally got AF a couple weeks ago (14 mos PP) and I just circled day 1 on my calendar so I could follow along and know when to expect it again. My cycles were fairly regular. Previously I've used some fertility tracker app. I can't even remember what it was called now or if I really need that much information.
IVF, acupuncture, meditation and a miracle.

    Most women here use Fertility Friend. It's not pretty, but it works!

    I was using FMC (free menstrual tracker). It was one of the free ones on the App Store. The icon looks like a pinwheel, so not too obvious. I like it. I was using it for non- TTC reasons and it was helpful in tracking my irregular spotting issues. Like most, it gives the estimated fertile days, but since I wasn't temping or putting any CM observations in, it was just guessing. After a few cycles, it will adjust to give you a good estimate of CD1.

    I just use a calendar. I have never been that regular so I am usually only able to narrow things down to a 10d window so I don't think apps would be that helpful for me.

    I used period tracker - it's an apple app - worked well for me and I liked the notes section.

    Me 38 MH 41 - TTC since June 2010 - dx with Severe MFI. Straight to IVF with ICSI. IVF #1 - ER 06/13/12 - 9 Eggs Retrieved - 4 ICSI'd - only 2 fert. 06/15/12 - 2DT - 3 cell & 6 cell with fragmentation. Beta 06/29/12 - IVF #1 = BFN. 07/20/12 - WTF Appt -Told by our RE to quit IVF. Second Opinion from RE is good. IVF#2 - November 2012. Estradiol Pills Started 11/6. Stims start 11/16. ER 11/26 - 7 eggs retrieved - all mature. 4 fertilized with ICSI. ET 11/29 Transferred 3 embryos. Beta is 12/10. 1st Beta 81 2nd Beta 160 and 3rd beta 360!!! First U/S 12/21/12 - We saw one beautiful gest. sac. 2nd U/S is 01/04/2013 - H/B 183 02/05/13 - NT Scan - everything looks good and IT'S A BOY!  Aiden was born 08/20/2013.

    IVF #2 is in progress.  ER was 05/12/14 - 11 eggs retrieved, 8 fertilized with ICSI.  ET was 05/15/14 - we transferred 3 embryos as we did on the cycle my son was conceived.  We were able to freeze 3 embryos. Beta is scheduled for 05/26/14.  1st beta - 111.  2nd beta - 159 didn't double :( 3rd beta Friday 5/30) - not a lot of hope left. Beta # 3 is 247 - probably ectopic.  Beta # 4 is 813 - possibly vanishing multiple sydrome?  06/05/14 - 5w4days - first U/S - we see a gestational sac and yolk - still have hope!  06/17/14 - 7w1day - U/S and saw and heard the heartbeat - Finally!  06/27/14 - 8w4days - Baby and heartbeat look and sound great :)  EDD 02/01/14 and It's a boy!
