Though fertility charts can be helpful resources if you follow the fertility awareness method, please note that these iPhone apps should be used for recreational purposes only. They are intended to gather data and provide approximate fertility predictions, and are not meant to be used exclusively in any natural family planning regimen.
1. Woman Calendar

- Keep a log of biological data such as menstrual periods, basal body temperature, ovulation, weight and sexual activities. You can design and track your very own data according to your cycle lengths
- Plot your daily BBT over a menstrual cycle or over a month. BBT chart view shows your BBT chart with cervical fluid and ovulation day over a menstrual cycle
- Export data via email or print a hard copy for your next doctor’s appointment
- Calendar shows which day you are in your cycle
2. iChartMe
The iChartMe iPhone app is quicker than BBT paper charts, allowing you to quickly track and predict fertility and periods. Features include:
- It stores your daily basal body temperature, cervical fluid information and personal notes
- App opens directly to the present day's chart
- Graphs BBTs over each cycle (for more accurate ovulation detection)

3. MeFertil
This iPhone app is for women who use natural family planning as their contraceptive method, and for those trying to get pregnant. MeFertil provides easy fertility monitoring. This app features:

- Analyzes all data and displays an easy to read color-coded BBT chart showing your fertile period
- Red line marks your period days; yellow line indicates days when you’re unlikely to be fertile; and pink line shows your fertile time with peak day emphasized in bright pink

4. NFP Manager - sympto

6. iOvulation
iOvulation calculates ovulation date and generates a personal fertility calendar. Knowing when you ovulate can help you pick the best days to naturally avoid pregnancy (since you’re most fertile the day of ovulation and the day before). This app lets you:
