Girls just want to have phone

But maybe not one that tells us when we're ovulating.

    This scares me.

    ACTUAL fertility awarenes/natural family planning is really easy, but it requires very specific daily observations of multiple fertility symptoms. You can't use a computer to tell you when you're ovulating or when your period is coming. This is why the rhythm method doesn't work: it relies on every woman having a cycle that is a set number of days, with presumed ovulation on a certain day of that cycle. And you know what you call people who use the rhythm method of birth control....

    I hope this phone has a REALLY BIG RED DISCLAIMER.
