iPhone Fertility App Helps Deliver Britain’s first iBaby

Baby Joy, the apple of their "i." @The Sun

Lena Bryce spent four years trying to have a baby.

Then she and her husband downloaded the Free Menstrual Calendar app, timed their couplings strategically and voilà: now they now are the proud parents of a 6 pound-12 ounce bundle of joy named Lola.

“Doctors couldn’t find any reason why we hadn’t been able to get pregnant,” the 30-year-old woman from Glasgow told tabloid The Sun. “It began to weigh heavily on us. We were considering IVF and adoption when Dudley gave me the iPhone for my 30th. I typed in ‘get pregnant’ and downloaded five apps.”

Bryce found the Free Menstrual Calendar the easiest of the five apps to use — it tracks cycles and intercourse data –  and after two months she was in a family way.

The fascinating thing about these apps is that for every couple who wants to have a baby there are probably just as many relieved couples who use them to figuring out when avoid sex, too. We’re waiting for the “I avoided getting knocked up from a regrettable one-night stand thanks to an app” story to hit the tabs.
