The developer of new fertility management software says it is becoming the “new face” for natural family planning. It can assist couples in conceiving or in avoiding pregnancy and help Catholics live their faith.

“FertileView strengthens marriages and supports the natural order of God’s plan for marriage,” said Tim Boh, owner of the Colorado-based software developer Novuscor.

Novuscor’s FertileView software collects “very specific” information about ovulation and fertility that allows women to understand “exactly what their bodies are doing” in a way that is “uniquely supporting to the individual,” Boh told CNA in a recent interview. The program helps women and their husbands structure their actions around their “fertility goals.”

Users of many fertility monitoring systems, in his view, feel like they are not engaged.

“They don’t understand what they’re doing,” he said. “We’ve created a process by which people can have immediate feedback about themselves. That’s the part, I think, that people get really excited about.”

It is time that something like that comes. But I do not believe in that. Only when you put a paper on the saliva or urine and you get a clear cut answer, then I see a new development. Through software, I dont know…
 
That’s interesting. Me and my wife were talking about looking for something like this. There are really any NFP classes that are close to us right now, so a computer learning and tracking software would be awesome assuming the methods and interpretations are accurate… We were also thinking about an ovulation monitor like the ova-cue (I think that’s what it’s called), but I don’t know how accurate they are either…
 
Just looked at the price tag, WOW… 399 bucks is a lot of cash to drop on a piece of software that just tracks information that you have to enter manually…

It all depends, I suppose, on your target market:
“FertileView is a fraction of the cost comparing this once only investment to chemically hormone-based birth control methods costing between $40 to $70 per month. These methods will cost around $840 per year and a five year investment of more than $4,200. FertileView is an investment that captures a lifetime of fertility.”

Of course, if it gets out that CCLI has a home study course for $161 and software for $40 (total: $200) it might cause a slight dent in their sales. Same info: half price!

I’m guessing that’s the Couple to Couple League???
 
So what are you paying money for it to do?

It’s essentially a posh version of Microsoft Excel, yet with some information already in - yet you have to be the data monkey and enter in your readings yourself. Tsk. How is it an improvement on methods NFP couples already have?

With the cost that high for a simple program, the ClearBlue Easy Fertility Monitor (used by Marquette) looks like a steal!
