How to use the Taking Charge of Your Fertility Software
Two things are needed in order to use the software. A basal thermometer and a cycle database. The basal thermometer can be purchased separately, and the Taking Charge of Your Fertility Software will create a cycle database for you. The only thing you need to know to create your cycle database is the start date of your last menstrual period.
From there, you will use the user-friendly software to input your daily basal body temperature and cervical fluid, also known as cervical mucus, observations. The software explains how to do all of this. After entering your observations for 10-14 days, the software will do the rest for you. The Taking Charge of Your Fertility Software compiles your most fertile days, when you should have intercourse, and when you may have become pregnant.
The Taking Charge of Your Fertility Software is easy to use! It guides you step-by-step and displays information clearly and in easy to understand language! Look at them all, wouldn't you agree that this is worth a one-time charge of $39.95?

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

|
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 Planner

|
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.

Preferences

|
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.

Override Calculations

|
The Override Calculations window lets you override the program's estimates for the start of pre-ovulation fertility, ovulation, and whether or not a cycle should be included or excluded from your statistical history. You have great control over how (and when) is determined, if at all. You can even instruct Ovusoft to wait until after a specific date to begin calculating for ovulation (if you know, for instance, that your early fertility signs were unusual and are throwing off an accurate interpretation). No other fertility tool provides this level of control.
