Ladies, What's It Gonna Be: A Boy or A Girl?

The weather has been awful these couple of days, with rain, thunder and cold, so it got me thinking of that saying: Rainy days are for counting money and making babies.

And how money is always too little to take a whole day for counting, making babies is a pleasant activity to fill your time.

Of course, there are a lot of factors that lead to the decision of having a child, so you have to be careful if you want just the fun part. The one without the baby as the end result.

If you realize that the time is right and a baby would make your life complete, don't wait around for rain. Timing is everything in making this plan succeed, so a calendar is the best thing to make you aware of the most favorable periods in which you can try for a baby. The same periods are the ones you have to avoid in order to prevent a pregnancy.

Ovulation Calendar is a piece of software that does just that: helps you find the best time. It's a great help for any woman who either desires a pregnancy or wishes to prevent one, because it calculates the time of ovulation and generates your personal fertility calendar.

Ovulation Calendar calculates the probability of conception based on your ovulation time and other factors such as lifespan of the egg and sperm, and shows you the days that are most promising for conception.

You just have to enter the length of your menstrual cycle and the date of your last period, and Ovulation Calendar will calculate your fertile days. The results are presented as a color-coded calendar, showing your fertile and non-fertile periods.

Besides calculating the perfect time for conception, Ovulation Calendar helps you increase your chances of conceiving a boy or a girl by choosing the right time for intercourse.

The program sits in the Windows system tray, and reminds you about important changes in your fertility. For example, you can configure Ovulation Calendar to show pop-up reminders on the days that are optimal for conceiving a baby girl.

You don't have to know anything about corpus luteum, progesterone levels, or LH surges because Ovulation Calendar does all this work for you. All you need to get started is the length of your menstrual cycle and the date of your last period. Simply enter this data and Ovulation Calendar will do the rest.

The help file contains an important amount of information on all the factors involved in the conceiving process.


The Good

This is a program that will spare you from having to count days and take ovulation tests. It will keep you from forgetting by staying minimized in your system tray and giving you notices when the time is right.


The Bad

In the 45-day trial period, the days for conceiving a boy or a girl are not marked.


The Truth

I would recommend this application for mothers-to-be, but let's not forget that Mother Nature has her own mind in establishing the sex of the child. And another thing: this kind of 'contraceptive' is not 100% effective.

Here are some snapshots of the application in action:
