About Stickies
WhenMyBaby is a completely free, no login website with many interactive pregnancy related tools, including a free pregnancy calendar, and a free pregnancy test calculator that can help you determine when to take a pregnancy test.
Because no login is required, you can quickly use any tool, any time. But, the drawback is you need to re-enter cycle information to calculate, such as your last menstrual period (LMP) start date, menstrual cycle length, etc.
(Drum roll...) To the rescue: stickies, to make using WhenMyBaby more convenient!
Using MyMonthlyCycles.com?. See below for how to easily use some of that data as stickies...
What are Stickies?
Stickies are a way to save information about your menstrual cycles - from last period to conception date, luteal phase length, and more - but without having to have an account and login each time you want to use that data.
If you're thinking stickies sound a lot like cookies, you're right! Very similar, identical in fact, but no calories and 0 trans-fat :)
My Stickies aren't sticking!
To take advantage of stickies, cookies must be enabled on your web brower.
To test, save your stickies, leave the page (for example, visit WhenMyBaby's home page, and then return. If your data appears on the screen, cookies are enabled. If not, check your cookie settings on your browser and make sure they are enabled.
If your sticky settings are saving, but on subsequent visits to WhenMyBaby, they are not still set, there are several reasons:
- you or someone else accessing your computer or device may have deleted cookies.
- your cookie cache got overloaded by other sites you visit, pushing ours out.
- cookie settings on your browser were changed and are no longer enabled.
