CycleProGo: A STM App You Can Trust
CycleProGo is the only fertility cycle charting and analysis app developed according to the scientifically-based, 99% effective sympto-thermal method of the Couple to Couple League International. It is one of the older fertility awareness based apps available and, as a result, not the most high-tech in appearance but it is reliable and accurate with regard to what matters most- determining the fertile and infertile phases of a woman's fertility cycle so as to achieve or prevent pregnancy. Many apps on the market are consumer-driven products with algorithms never revealed, let alone scientifically tested, for prevention of pregnancy without "backup" contraception. FACTS (Fertility Awareness Collaboration to Teach the Science) is a good source of information from medical professionals on reliable cycle tracking/charting apps.
Apps are convenient for charting throughout the day as soon as symptoms are observed and because both spouses can input and access the digital chart any time, from anywhere. CPG has a web version with even more capabilities than the app; charts from multiple cycles can be overlaid and compared or the temperature scale of a chart can be adjusted to highlight thermal shift. At Settings/Phase Dates, different CCL STM rules can be selected for determining Phase I and Phase III. The app tracks cycle history and prevents a user from accessing a rule without sufficient cycle history or robust enough signs to ensure accuracy of the rule's application. At Start a New Chart, Postpartum or Premenopause Rules can be added or removed from the chart analysis monthly. CCL students receive a free three month trial of the app and are automatically connected to their certified Teaching Couple. They just need to choose to share their chart with their teacher in the web version and reach out to receive support. After the trial, the app costs a reasonable $5/month, about the price of a cup of coffee- well worth having a fertility charting app you can trust to help you achieve your fertility goals.
