How Fertility Charting Works
Fertile Window
Sometimes referred to as "Fertility Awareness (FAM)" or "Natural Family Planning (NFP)", fertility charting is based on the understanding that we can identify the fertile window- the days when conception is possible- by observing our natural fertility signals.
In each cycle there are just a few days that make up the fertile window.
Fertility charting with Fertility Friend thus involves observing and recording your fertility signs so that you can easily see your daily fertility status and identify your most fertile time. It is highly effective because your body provides clues (fertility signs) that tell you about your fertility status throughout your cycle.
A few minutes daily: Fertility Friend is extremely accurate. Based on your observations (it only takes a few minutes each day) Fertility Friend analyzes your data and provides you with an accurate interpretation of your fertility signs:

Hormonal Profile
Your fertility is driven by your hormones. The image above shows you the relationship between your ovulation and period and a typical hormonal profile.
Fertility Friend helps you relate your observation of external fertility signs (such as Basal Body Temperature (BBT) and Cervical Fluid) to your hormonal profile to determine precisely your fertile window.
Your observations are collected on a Fertility Chart (also called a BBT Chart although it includes more data than just your BBT) that Fertility Friend annotates with its analysis of your data. This chart becomes a dashboard of your current fertility status. It helps you both understand your cycle and predict your future cycle by comparing your very own patterns. Fertility Friend provides both tools and education for you to explore and understand your fertility signals:
