Hey Flo… …

Flo was initially released in 2015- designed as a women’s health app that supports women at each stage of their reproductive cycle. It tracks menstruation, cycle prediction, preparation for conception, pregnancy, early motherhood and menopause.

The application is available on iOS and Android.

I am a die hard Android supporter and let me tell you this app is the “bomb dot com”. I have used the app for about two years now and have found that the tailoring to my individual reproductive cycle and the articles are awesome! Most recently, I have taken advantage of the podcasts and they provide such valued information in respect to self-care, nutrition, exercise and fetal development while in utero!

Now..we have discussed the bliss but let us talk about the ANXIETY! Yes, the ANXIETY! so, I would open the app almost daily looking for the blue shaded dates and that circle, letting me know it was the RIGHT TIME! to make a baby! Yup, holding legs in the air, laying sideways, standing on my head, refusing to move, ok you get the point— doing EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN that I thought would make me successful! However, what I did not know, is that the stress of thinking about getting pregnant was ultimately hindering the flow of Flo…

Despite the prior losses, I found that it was imperative, to educate myself and to RELAX! Understanding that we have limited to no control of the reproductive area, it remains the fact, that we must be mentally able to physically carry! Queen 2 Queen, BE STILL- and trust me, I know this is not easy, I have been “doing something” constantly my entire life. Maternity leave has made me reprioritize, shift my thinking and BE STILL!

To my Moms 2 Be and Moms In Waiting, it will happen! I believe for you and with you!

Is there an app that you are using that has been beneficial in the journey to conception, if so please share?
