The gods of the Blogosphere should have already struck me
dead by now. I haven’t blogged in such a long time. While I would love to
outline the various reasons for my absence, I find them a bit too personal to
share because they are well… non-existent!! But I have been busy, am not sure
with what exactly. Am in my final undergraduate year working on my project and
that has shifted my focus a little bit.
Onto some more pressing issues, we know how the Google Play
Store has revolutionized and made our lives easier. The applications make life
so much easier. Am sure each of us has that one app that they cannot live
without. Feel free to share with me which ones they are! My personal must have,
well apart from WhatsApp and Instagram, is My Days.
My Days is an App that helps me to predict and track my
periods and gives summarized information on fertility and ovulation. I was so
happy when a friend of mine recommended it. Some of the cool features it has include
an almost perfect precision of your next period, the list of your fertile days and
a customizable interface. The app’s format is of a calendar that also allows
you to make important notes and update any changes you undergo with relation to
your female reproductive system.
Just last year, surveys showed that almost 400,000 abortions
took place in Kenya. Such a shocking number right? Huge too. This goes to show
just how many unintended pregnancies happen each and every day. The society we
live in has girls fearing pregnancies than contacting HIV/AIDS. It’s something
we rarely talk about despite it being so real to us and something that has to
be dealt with. Even with several affordable contraception options,
many women do not take precautions of any kind fully aware of the danger they
are putting themselves into and the consequences of their actions.
I am not implying that this App will reduce the number of
unintended pregnancies, am implying that it is important for every woman to be
in tune with her body. She should know it better than anyone else, and should
particularly be keen to any changes that affect her. This application will help
in making you reach there. The user of this app will be able to know
about their safe days and peak of fertility. You can indicate when you have sex
or save some important notes about the kind of contraception your taking. As precaution
ladies, if you are old enough to be sexually active, you should be old enough
to learn about the various contraception options out there and pick one that suits you
best with lots of information on the side effects of each.
In case you want to keep your menstrual cycle business
private, you can protect this application with a password. If you read this
please ensure you share it with ladies you know, because awareness is key. This
is a must have application for ladies. And while at it, wrap it up will you?
Thank you for stopping by!
