Markéta and Petr have been trying for a baby for less than a year. In the beginning, they did not solve anything and left it to chance. However, Markéta still couldn't get pregnant, even though the medical results showed no health problems. Together, he and Petr were solving it at home, until they once learned about the smart iFertracker basal thermometer from Raiing. They had nothing to lose, so Markéta decided to try him.

iFertracker is an unobtrusive plastic device at first glance that weighs only six grams and is less than seven millimeters thick. In terms of design, it is shaped in such a way as to copy female shapes as much as possible, especially in the area of ​​the armpit. There, the device is placed using a thin double-sided patch.

Every night before going to bed, Markéta sticks the iFertracker under her armpit and keeps it with her all night. The device itself not only measures the temperature at regular intervals, but also monitors movements, thanks to which it can also evaluate the quality of sleep. iFertracker performs more than twenty thousand measurements in one night, and all the data on Markéta's body temperature are stored in the internal memory. The device thus does not emit any signals or radiation and is powered by an ordinary watch battery.

Likewise, the device has no switch. The iFertracker turns on by itself on the body and turns off by itself even after peeling off. Every morning, on the other hand, the device is synchronized via Bluetooth 4.0, which is switched off during the measurement. All that Markéta has to do is turn on the application of the same name so that the measured values ​​can be synchronized. If the synchronization is forgotten, nothing happens. The internal memory of the device is enough for 240 hours of recordings. The measurement accuracy itself is around 0,05 degrees Celsius.

Thanks to the measured values ​​and the intuitive iFertracker application, it is easy to find out when the most suitable day for conceiving a child is. The device works on the same principle as other basal body thermometers, but they are usually designed to measure temperature in the mouth. However, the temperature measured in the mouth after waking up is only close to the actual basal temperature, which needs to be measured while sleeping. iFertracker is therefore more accurate in this respect and as a result overall more user-friendly.

The main purpose of the measured data is for Markéta to have an overview of her menstrual cycle and, above all, to know when she ovulates. This is the most important part of the menstrual cycle and only during ovulation can a woman become pregnant.

The iFertracker application is very intuitive and clear, while it is fully localized into the Czech language. It can also synchronize data across devices, so even Petr can easily have an overview of the measured results. Thanks to this, they can also plan in advance the most suitable time for sexual intercourse. Markét can see the entire menstrual cycle in the application through an interactive graph, which is divided by color. For example, the application can alert you to ovulation itself with a notification.

All measured values ​​are displayed in an accurate graph and calendar, which Markéta can easily export and share with her gynecologist. The app is in the App Store Free Download and is compatible with devices from iPhone 4S, iPad mini or iPad 3 and up.

iFertracker can be a very useful device that can help couples conceive a child, especially at the stage when it cannot be left to chance. The advantage of the device is that it is really very small and thin. Thus, a woman does not feel anything during her sleep and is not disturbed anywhere. Synchronization and data measurement also work reliably.

The good news is that iFertracker can also be used by women who do not have a regular menstrual cycle. The length of your cycle can be entered in the settings, and the start and end of the menstrual period can also be manually corrected. iFertracker then reacts to all user changes and automatically recalculates the prediction for the rest of the cycle. With longer use, it continues to learn and its prediction is more complex and accurate even with irregular cycles.

As a result, iFertracker, based on the characteristics of the measured basal temperature data, can also recognize pregnancy (as early as 7-8 days), recognize anovulatory cycles and an increased risk of spontaneous abortion (when used even in the first 3-4 months of pregnancy).

As part of the basic package, together with the iFertracker, you will receive a package of 30 patches that last for 30 days. Replacement packages of 60 pieces can be purchased for 260 crowns. You can buy the iFertracker smart basal thermometer for 4 crowns in the shop Raiing.cz.

If you are considering the purchase of a modern basal thermometer, the price should definitely not deter you from the iFertracker. Competing devices - such as Cyclotest Baby or Lady-Comp Baby - are even more expensive, but on the contrary more complicated for the user and more difficult to control and evaluate records.

Both mentioned products measure the temperature in the mouth, which needs to be done immediately after waking up and you don't always remember. After a few minutes of waking up, the results cease to be relevant. With iFertracker, on the other hand, you don't have to deal with anything like that, and maximum convenience with evaluating the results is provided by the mobile application, where everything is clearly recorded and always at hand.
