Cell Phones Help Couples Become Pregnant
A new text messaging service called EggAlert is an innovative program that will notify cell phone users when they are ovulating.
EggAlert, developed by PDAHealthWare, Inc., calculates a woman's next ovulation time, and sends a text message telling them their day of ovulation, fertile period to increase the odds of conception, and when to expect their next menstrual period.
In addition, using research that employs theories about the timing of conception and its influence on conceiving a boy or girl, EggAlert can also allow couples to implement this strategy which may increase their ability to select the gender of their child. Press Release
