Taking Charge of Your Fertility Software
A 15-day free trial of Taking Charge of Your Fertility Software (aka "TCOYF") is available for download
from this page. Based upon the leading book on natural pregnancy achievement, TCOYF is the easiest-to-use,
most educational, and most enjoyable fertility tool available.
Because it identifies your most fertile days and projects your future fertility, Taking Charge of Your
Fertility Software can help you reduce the time to conceive. It has been approved by the US Food and
Drug Administration as a fertility diagnostic device and aid-to-conception, a claim no other Windows
or Web-based fertility application can make. It is based upon the best selling book, Taking Charge of
Your Fertility, by Toni Weschler, MPH and was developed in complete cooperation with Toni, herself.
It is the only software application endorsed by the author as a companion to Taking Charge
of Your Fertility.
And now you can try it for yourself for 15 days free of charge.
You may ask if 15 days is enough to evaluate it -- once you see it, we know you will agree
that it is enough time. Plus, you can use it as much as you wish during the 15-day trial,
putting in past cycle data if you have it or playing "what if" games with your current cycle.
Make as many entries as you like during the trial period.
Screen Shots
The Calendar provides a quick overview of the status of your fertility, identifying fertile and infertile days using color coding which you can customize. Events such as menstruation, intercourse, and ovulation, and days where medications and tests are taken are shown using customized icons.
Cycle events can be forecasted into the future and shown on the calendar using your own cycle history, not population-wide averages. You can estimate many cycles into the future when you will menstruate, when you will be fertile, and when you will ovulate. You can also select a target delivery date using the Fertility Planner and see in the Calendar when you need to be intimate to reach this date. This helps you plan your pregnancy by planning for conception!
The Chart provides a detailed look at each cycle from a single screen. Ovusoft's Chart is unique -- not only can you use it to evaluate your fertility, you can enter your fertility data directly onto it in the fastest and most intuitive manner. Toni Weschler herself requested this data-entry feature, as it most closely resembles the manual method of charting. Note that the chart background colors are user-defined (within the Preferences window), so if you don't like the ones we use, you can set them to whatever you prefer.
The Fertility Advisor explains your current fertility, what you should be doing, and what is happening in your body on a day-to-day basis in plain language. No other fertility tool offers this level of insight into your miraculous fertility cycle.
The Fertility Planner shows your relative fertility and conception chances on each day you engage in intercourse in a cycle. It estimates your due date for each cycle using either the average days of gestation or the "doctor's method" (Naegele's rule). It forecasts future menstruation, fertility and ovulation dates, helping you plan conception. It lets you target a delivery date in the future and determine how close you can get to that date based upon your own cycle history, and when you need to be intimate in order to achieve that goal. Throw out those other web-based ovulation and due date calculators that use population-wide averages, these projections are based upon your own unique cycle history and statistics. You can't get any more accurate than that.
Every woman is unique and Ovusoft recognizes that, providing you great control over how your fertility signs are interpreted by way of the Preferences window. Here you can specify whether there were recent events in your life which may impact your fertility. You can indicate which fertility signs you wish to use to definitively estimate ovulation. If you use ovulation predictor kits and/or an electronic fertility monitor in addition to the Fertility Awareness Method, you can indicate which method to use as the primary indicator of ovulation when they are in disagreement. You can modify the way Ovusoft interprets temperature observations, including whether or not you wish to adjust your temperature automatically to compensate for early or late rising in the morning. You can specify your own basic infertile patterns of cervical fluid, as well as your most fertile pattern. Lastly, but perhaps most importantly, you can adjust the colors in the Calendar and Chart, as well as the icons in the Calendar.
