ABSTRACT:
A fertility computer is disclosed having the ability to store information about a users past menstrual cycle history, basal body temperature, gynecological disorders, which along with certain prediction indicators is used to statistically predict when ovulation will occur. The prediction indicators are based on information concerning the current status of certain body indicators such as mucus change, spotting in the middle of a cycle or a sore throat. This information is processed in accordance with a predetermined program which ascribes certain values to the above parameters to predict the present fertility status of the user.
