I was using this app until it stopped showing me any data unless I put what state I lived in. I switched to the Flo app, but you have to pay a monthly fee to use it. I believe Ovia is the only free ovulation tracker, which makes this much scarier.

Roman flask made of translucent cobalt blue glass in the form of a mouse. The neck of the flask is funnel-shaped and slightly up-turned to look like a tail. The body of the vessel is rounded and has four tooled trails for feet.  A separate blob of glass forms the head with eyes, ears, and a pointed nose. The flask surface is decorated with distinctive trails of glass which have been flattened and notched, known as โ€˜snake threadโ€™.
