What the totals tell you.

The calendar’s 10:1 target measures how often you met your chosen habits. It does not measure sperm or decide whether you can conceive. The trying page explains the fertile window and when to get help.

The automatic calendar keeps marks in the current browser tab. Use its local save option to keep a copy; marks are not sent to FirstBorn.
