So when I restarted my cycle it was totally and completely up to my body to decide when.

Cool tool for the mama-to-be - April 9, 2004—
I came across this cool application in one of my strange Google keyword searches (you know, the ones NO ONE has adwords for?).

The paid version ($29.95) helps you use timing to increase your chances of conceiving a girl, or a boy, depending on your hopes. The link, with their little blurb, is below. I'll keep a link on the 
page.
Ovulation Calendar - an ovulation prediction program that uses menstrual cycle information to generate your personal fertility calendar, and lets you choose the gender of your baby.
Fertility page - April 9, 2004—
