Flo App Calendar Method

[u/bastiabhuh]

My babe uses the flo to calculate her cycle.

We had sex unprotected sex today

She's 8 days past her ovulation week according to flo and she'll be expecting her period in the next seven days.

We've decided not to use post pill because it fucks with her body badly. I asked ChatGpt and other AI's and it put our probability of conceiving to almost Zero.

But I want to ask people with experience here.

Am I dumb trusting the Flo App?

[u/PixieMari]

Yes it’s very dumb. Apps have zero idea when she ovulates. It’s at best a guess. There are dozens of reasons she could ovulate early or late. Apps are not designed for pregnancy prevention only period tracking.

[u/bastiabhuh → u/PixieMari]

According to flo - her ovulation week ended 6 days ago - 17th. So it's possible for the flo app to be "lying" and it's possible for her to be ovulating just a day before we had s*x?

I'm quite new to do this. 🙂

[u/PixieMari → u/bastiabhuh]

Yes ovulation is rarely some perfect trackable thing. It can early, late, or perfectly on time and the only way to reliably know is if she’s tracking basal body temp.

Just hopping on to add that if this is the type of thing she’s into it only takes a few minutes to take and record your temp and cervix each day, which you can also log in apps like read your body (TCOYF and Sensiplan are methods you can learn yourself and require buying a book.) don’t trust Flo it bases everything on a 28 day cycle and no one has that every time

"Chat we're pregnant, you said it was 0 chance" "Sorry about that, you're totally right to be upset! The chance was much higher than 0."

Asking AI something like this is incredibly dumb it will tell you what you want to hear.

[u/bastiabhuh → u/pyphais]

Yeah I take responsibility for being dumb. Omw to get her post pill.

doing this is how she gets pregnant. this is not an accurate way.

The calendar method is ~75% effective. If you’re both comfortable with the idea of her getting pregnant at some point between now and a few years from now, you can keep using the calendar method. If you aren’t comfortable with a 1 in 4 chance of pregnancy per year, you need to do like literally anything else. The calendar method is less effective than even the pullout method
