5 Best Fertility Apps To Help You Conceive--And They're Free!

If you're excited to be a mom, then you'd welcome any tool that can help you conceive. And, yes, that may include superstition or pamahiin that practically every person who knows you're trying to conceive will dish out in the name of goodwill. You may or may not give it a try, but wouldn't you rather go for something backed by science? 

To conceive, you need to have sex on days when you are ovulating, of course, which varies among women--that is the tricky part. These apps--technically period trackers and women's reproductive health apps--are your best bets:

1. Clue

As you plug in your menstrual cycle data every month, the better this app can analyze your personal data and give you a more accurate approach to tracking your cycle. You can key in other details such as mood, pain, vaginal discharge, cravings, sleep, skin, hair, exercise, and a lot more -- even birth control alerts. Available in iOS and Google Play.

2. Period Tracker

If you don’t mind pink and flowers, then this app is for you. It analyzes your data for you and has built-in alerts. One of its unique features is that it calculates the chances of your getting pregnant on a certain day to help you conceive or prevent pregnancy. Available in iOS and Google Play.

3. Flo Period & Ovulation Tracker
