A new website aimed at helping women conceive or avoid pregnancy naturally launched today internationally. The website, which was initially inspired by the founder’s pregnancy loss, uses cutting edge charting software to help women track their fertility.
A new membership-based website launched today with the objective of helping women grow their families naturally or organically space births. FertilityFlower.com works by charting various attributes of women’s monthly cycles in such a way that they are able to clearly see patterns which will indicate when they are most fertile.
FertilityFlower.com is a brand new website that helps women accurately identify their fertile phase by using the ‘sympto-thermal’ method. This is a natural technique where women graph their temperature upon waking and monitor other fertility symptoms (like cervical fluid, cervical position, etc.) for indications that they are nearing ovulation.
The website has a unique way of displaying the temperature graph and cervical fluid together in the same charting space so that their members can see how the two attributes relate and most importantly recognize the beginning of a fertile phase. Other unique features of FertilityFlower.com are the Symptom and Bleeding view screens.
Members can switch the chart viewer to see either their bleeding/spotting pattern for the cycle or their symptom volume. The symptom charting function includes a word cloud that spatially highlights those symptoms that are most commonly felt throughout the course of a cycle.
Knowledge of impending ovulation helps women to know when to time intercourse. If the goal is to grow their family, they will time intercourse as close to ovulation as possible. If the goal is to avoid pregnancy, they will avoid intercourse during the week leading up to ovulation.
As users interact with FertilityFlower.com, they learn about the transformation that their bodies go through during the course of a cycle as well as what’s normal for their particular body. Knowledge of this nature demystifies fertility for women, which minimizes or eliminates the need for expensive fertility procedures or chemical birth control, putting the control back into their hands.
FertilityFlower.com is flexible enough to accommodate women throughout their reproductive years. There are three sections: Seed, Sprout and Bloom, names that are in line with the gardening motif that runs throughout the website.
Seed is for women in the pre-conception stage. Seed members are those who are either actively trying to conceive their first child or are trying to avoid pregnancy naturally. Apart from temperature and symptom tracking, FertilityFlower.com gives its members a daily report of their fertility status with tips as to what they should look out for in the coming days. As well, the website produces cycle statistics and gives its members the ability to compare two or more charts using a clever overlay program.
Sprout is for women who are pregnant with their first child and helps them to track and document their experience of pregnancy. Sprout members are able to continue tracking their waking temperature through the first trimester (the value of such tracking is in the fact that a pattern of falling temperatures is indicative of an early miscarriage. Thus, the absence of such a pattern can be very reassuring to women who’ve experienced miscarriage before).
FertilityFlower.com has tailored the symptoms available in the Sprout section towards pregnant women. Members can learn about the development of the baby from week to week via a report generating function.
FertilityFlower.com’s third section, Bloom, is aimed at women who are already mothers. Bloom members who are trying to conceive their next child or space births can interact with the fertility charting aspects of the website. Bloom members who are presently pregnant with a subsequent child will be able to document that pregnancy in much the same way as Sprout members.
While apparently three distinct sections, they flow together seamlessly. Seed members who become pregnant automatically move into the Sprout section and after giving birth, into Bloom. Thus, FertilityFlower.com has the capacity to carry women through their entire reproductive years.
Kimberly Ann Račić, founder of FertilityFlower.com, whose first miscarriage brought her to the sympto-thermal method in the first place, had this to say about the launch:
“We are very excited about the launch of our new site. FertilityFlower.com is all about educating women. There are only a few days a month when it’s physically possible for a woman to get pregnant and knowing when it is or isn’t possible will put women (and couples) back in charge of their fertility.”
“We haven’t even launched yet and have already gained a lot of support and interest via Facebook and Twitter. As we speak, FertilityFlower.com is approaching almost 2,000 Facebook Fans, which is phenomenal and very gratifying to me as the founder. Our number one aim is to help women better understand their bodies and natural cycles, so that they don’t have to rely on chemicals and invasive techniques to maximise or reduce their chances of pregnancy. If something can be done naturally, that’s how it should be done.”
“FertilityFlower.com provides a win-win solution all around – it’s healthy, it’s natural, you are in control and it works.”
