August 15, 2013 at 6:50 amFor those of us who are using this to chart our fertility or as a tool to prevent pregnancy by NOT having unprotected sex on fertile days, though I know that's not the designed use, it would be nice to be able to add to the intercourse graph whether contraception was used. Either use a different color marker (ie green for unprotected sex, red for protected sex) or add it as a separate row, such that you could choose between no intercourse, protected intercourse, and unprotected intercourse. I know I can use the "notes" section to store that data but it would be nice to have it part of the "intercourse" section. It may seem dumb since most of the time, protected sex has the same outcome as no sex, but contraceptive methods sometimes fail, so it's still useful info.

December 16, 2016 at 10:02 amI know I've mentioned this in a few places before, but in the meantime, you can always mark intercourse as well as the 'birth control' options when you have protected intercourse. That way you can see when you planned intercourse, and if protection was used.

June 3, 2017 at 11:23 pmThe birth control box is OK except it's under medications, and I don't want to look back and wonder what method was used. I added a custom field that reads "condom" but I still agree that it would be much faster to read if that information were included in the intercourse box. I like the idea of different colored hearts, I had also thought of putting a circle around the heart to indicate a barrier method, and of course the birth control box is there for hormonal methods.

June 13, 2017 at 8:15 amYes, I said I added a custom field for condoms. But when you're glancing at your chart, and you see the little heart on a fertile day, it reads as though you had unprotected sex; you have to scan all the way down to the custom fields and see that the condom box was checked. If a circle were placed around the heart to indicate that a barrier method was used, it would be quicker and more accurate to read.
