| "Helping women track their ovulation in a smarter way" | 
Most of us grow up learning how to avoid getting pregnant. Almost no one teaches the other half of it, how your cycle actually works, which days you are fertile, or that there are tests and apps built to help you figure that out. So when you decide you are ready, it is easy to assume it will just happen, and to have no idea there are tools that could help you understand your own body.
Alyssa was right there. She had never tracked a cycle in her life. No apps, no charts, no ovulation tests, and no real reason to think she needed them.
She didn't know any of this existed
When she first started trying, Alyssa was doing it the way a lot of people do at the beginning, which is to say without much of a plan.
“I didn't use any apps or cycle tracking before Premom.”
Like a lot of people, she figured it would come together on its own.
"When I first started trying, I did think it would happen easily and quickly, but I didn't understand my cycle well enough."
A coworker, a loss, and a handful of leftover tests
Then came a miscarriage, and the particular ache of trying again while it felt like it was taking too long. She was venting about that very thing at work one day when a coworker stepped in with something practical, a recommendation and a small, generous gesture.
“She even gave me her leftover tests to help me get started.”
That was Alyssa’s introduction to Premom, and to ovulation testing at all. She started learning her cycle for the first time, and it led to her first pregnancy, and a baby.
"It was so much easier testing than just guessing when my peak ovulation was starting."
Picking it back up, two years later
When her son turned two, she and her husband felt ready to try again. A few months went by with no luck, so she went back to what had worked the first time and started ovulation testing again.
The day she felt it before she saw it
The waiting wore on her more than she expected. Then came a day she still talks about.
“It felt like forever before I got a peak ovulation on the test. But one day I told my husband, I don't know why, but I'm so excited, and that day I got my peak.”
An anxious test, two days early
She could not quite wait for the window the app suggested.
“It was my first cycle of ovulation testing, and two days before the recommended time to test I got too anxious, tested, and got my positive.”
That is baby number two.
What helped, in her words
She used the easy@Home ovulation test kit and scanned it into the Premom app. For Alyssa, using two together was the part that made it stick
“I was using easy@Home with the Premom app. Using the tests and app together made it super easy to keep track of everything.”
What she'd tell someone still waiting
“Keep it fun, stay positive, and stay consistent with your testing. Your time will come!”
