Fertility Calculator Apps: Do They Work? Dr Morris answers on Infertility TV

Dr Randy Morris MD-The BOARD CERTIFIED fertility expert with weekly TTC tips on InfertilityTV Hello this is Dr. Randy Morris. I am a Board Certified Fertility Expert and the Medical Director at the world renowned IVF1 fertility center in Naperville, Illinois. And this is Infertility TV There are many apps and websites that have calculators that supposedly help women to conceive. But do they help? A new study suggests that most fertility calculators are inaccurate and may actually hurt your chances for getting pregnant. The concept behind online fertility calculators is simple. A woman typically needs to know the date of her last menstrual period, and the average length of her cycles. The calculator then tells her which days she'll have the best chance of conceiving. Researchers from Cornell Medical College studied twenty websites and thirty-three apps that were the top results in an online search. The researchers put the same information into each fertility calculator: the same date for the last menstrual period, and an average menstrual cycle length of 28 days. We know that given those numbers that ovulation is likely to be on day fourteen. Peak fertility would be on days twelve through fourteen. The next best days would be day ten and eleven. What the researchers found is shocking! Only one website and three apps correctly predicted the peak time for fertility. Several did not even predict the day of ovulation correctly. Our advice, do not rely on online fertility calculators to help you achieve pregnancy. They might actually have the opposite effect.
