Read Your Body: Charting SymptoPro with an App

Summary:

• Read Your Body is an app where you can chart your cycles, instead of using a paper chart.

• Read Your Body recently launched a SymptoPro template.

• See HERE for instructions on how to use the template.

What is Read Your Body?

Read Your Body is an app that is essentially a digital chart. On the app, you can record symptoms, basal body temperature, cervical mucus observations, and the like. This is a great option for women who want to chart their cycles but do not want to use a pen and paper.

What is a SymptoPro template?

The SymptoPro template on Read Your Body has custom fields pre-programmed to align with SymptoPro observations and terminology. In other words, it speaks the same language as SymptoPro. Additionally, you are able to interpret your chart—by marking 6 last lows and encircling high temperatures—to show your fertile and infertile windows. See HERE for instructions on how to install the SymptoPro template.

What are the benefits of the Read Your Body app?

• Data privacy. Read Your Body—a women-led nonprofit—never sees, sells, or shares users’ charting data. See HERE for their data pledge.

• It doesn’t offer predictions. I am very vocal about how we should not trust an algorithm to tell us when we are fertile or not. With Read Your Body, you can apply your own interpretation, based on the SymptoPro guidelines.

• It’s easy to use and customizable. Are there other symptoms you want to track? You can simply create custom fields.

• Affordable. The fee to use the app is $2.69 per month or $20.99 per year.

Additionally, SymptoPro clients can receive 3 months of Read Your Body for free. Contact me for more information!
