    Isn't this service already covered by most women's mothers?

    I'd like it better if it SMS'd me things like "Screw NOW!" or passages from a tawdry romance novel suggesting the dirty things you can do to your pirate/ cave man/ Zorro lover man to get you revved up.

    I don't know. When I'm mid cycle, I get pretty cranky, so I'm afraid this will lead to a "STFU, you stupid f'ing cell phone!" And a large smash.


    Alternatively, reminding me of my fertile windows would remind me to add extra spermacide!

    This creeps me out. Kind of like that belt the NYU student developed for his pregnant wife that sends him a text message every time the baby kicks or moves with the date and time of the movement. This seems excessive.

    @c0dek: Actually the new federal guidelines have made selling ringtones next to impossible so companies are using programs like this to promote a product or, in this case, a website. It ups traffic and therefore increases users that will see adverts...

    This should make the rhythm method much easier.

    @Ulookinatmyjunk!?!: Ahh yes, the birth control which isn't. But really, though - if you're doing anything to intervene in the getting/not getting pregnant ... aren't you still attempting to control birth? Isn't that what birth control does? So if you're against birth control, you shouldn't be pro-rhythm method.

    @FourInchHeels: Personally, I'm up for anything that does not get me pregnant. I'm pro-no baby.


    IUDs, prayer, pills, condoms, doo-hickey phones that remind me when I'm ovulating...whatever.


    However, I worked at Planned Parenthood and there are lotsa ladies that can't use hormonal methods for various reasons and they end up having to depend on the rhythm method and barrier birth control methods (i.e. diaphragms and condoms). And although it is not full-proof, I think the rhythm method is kinda neat in the instance that it forces women to have a better working knowledge of what is going on with their bodies. A knowledge that many of their pill-poppin' sistren do not have.
