**These days, there literally is an app for everything – and planning a pregnancy is no exception. Want to track your periods? You can. Find out when you’re most fertile? No problem. Check out our round up of the best. **

Baby Planner £1.99 for iPhone

This is the most expensive app in the round up, but we think the price is justified. Baby Planner not only tracks your period and lets you know when you’re most fertile, it also monitors your weight, mood and temperature.

It also has a feature which will tell you if you’re having a boy or girl. Just for fun, obviously.

OvuView Free for Android

By tracking your weight, moods and appetite, this clever app can give you tailored information about your menstrual cycle and how fertile you are. Amazingly, it also seems to be able to tell when yo’ve got a headache, how hungry you are AND if you have tender breasts.

Fertility + £1.49 for iPhone

This one is a hit with fans because of it’s colourful, modern design – and it’s really friendly! If you’re fertile, it will tell you something like: ‘You have a great chance of getting pregnant today. Go for it!’

Encouraging, nice to look at and thorough – what’s not to like?

Pink Pad Free for iPhone and Android

With one of the most stylish designs, it’s easy to see why this app is extremely popular with users.

It does everything you’d expect it to, such as tracking periods and moods, and collates all the information into a cute pink calendar.

Glow Free for iPhone

Glow markets itself as ‘the world’s best ovulation calculator and fertility companion’ – and we have to say it is pretty good. As well as keeping note of all the important stuff, it offers a full health profile and support for those going through IVF. It can also be used to avoid pregnancy.

Life Free for iPhone and Android

Life tracks periods, menstrual cycle and ovulation – but it also allows the user to input irregular periods and manually change ovulation days, which is handy because everybody is different.

Kindara Free for iPhone and Android

This app has received rave reviews from users and critics alike – and doubles up as a connected fertility thermometer. Spend a minute a day inputing information such as body temperature and cervical fluid to find out your fertility. You can even allow your doctor to view your charts online.

Dot Free for iPhone

Dot is perfect if you want to plan far in advance, and has the capability to chart your period on a six-month basis. It features a sleek design, using colour-coded symbols and text to ensure you’re never confused by the data.
