theres an app for that

I am totally in love with my iPhone and that love just grows when I find a fab app that even helps plan for surrogacy .


Period tracker lite is a free app that does exactly what it says - trackers your menstrual cycle but for me More than knowing when my next period will be it gives me a good indication of when i am likely to be ovulating even several months in advance .

The front page tells you how many day left until your period , the date it is due and the branch grows pretty flowers when you could conceive.
but The calendar part of the app is the best bit for me

Not only does it forecast your most likely fertile days for that month but you can scroll forwards and see when those key days will fall in future months . perfect to enable your IP's to make plans . of course this depends on you having a regular cycle , to start you set the length of your cycle in settings but very soon the app works out the average length of your cycle for itself . I would suggest to back it up with ovulation predictor tests as I am going to , Fingers crossed that this extra bit of tech will make achieving a pregnancy a little bit easier this time around .... watch this space to see if it does .

Here we go again

Despite deciding to retire from this surrogacy thing 2 years ago I found myself offering to carry a sibling for my very dear friends .

That was 6 months ago as I wanted to donate some eggs first but here we are getting ready to get started .

I will be sorting out life insurance while S&E pay their fees to surrogacy UK and update their wills and we will all together get an agreement done to make sure we have discussed everything we need to .

The original plan was to get started this month but alas S is away on business the week am due to ovulate so short of flying me to the USA the only option is to delay .

Back soon xx
