The app5 answers
Is there an app, and can I use it today?

Yes. The LVNDOC app works now, free, with no account and no download. It opens in your browser, can be added to your home screen, and supports offline tracking after its files have been cached. Opening new pages or sending enquiries needs a connection. Native iPhone and Android apps are planned.

Open the app

What does the app do?

It tracks your cycle or your pregnancy. For your cycle: one tap period logging, a calendar you can edit, symptoms and mood, your next periods and an estimated fertile window learned from your own dates. In pregnancy: your weeks, your due date, planning dates based on the WHO antenatal contact schedule, danger signs and a hospital bag checklist. You can also enquire about planned home care from inside it.

See what the app does

Will the app tell me when I am ovulating?

It shows an estimated fertile window and an estimated ovulation day. Predictions from dates are estimates, not medical certainty, and that matters most when cycles are irregular. The app is not a method of contraception.

How the estimates work

Can my partner be involved?

Partner mode is planned. It will let you invite a partner or family member to see your pregnancy week, appointment reminders and ways to help. You will decide exactly what is shared, and you will be able to change it at any time.

Does the app use artificial intelligence?

Not today. Where we introduce it, it will help with reading, reminders and preparing questions for your doctor. It will not diagnose. Technology supports clinicians and never replaces them.

Care at home8 answers
What is LVNDOC?

LVNDOC offers a free cycle and pregnancy web tracker and is developing home antenatal care in Accra. Clinical visits and partnerships are planned. Their availability will be confirmed before care begins.

How do I book a home visit?

Use the care enquiry form on this site or in the app to share the service and area you are interested in. Home care is being developed. Submitting an enquiry does not confirm a visit, a clinician or a price.

Enquire about home care

What happens during a home antenatal visit?

The proposed service includes selected checks such as blood pressure, pulse, temperature, weight, symptom review and assessment appropriate to your pregnancy stage. The clinician would agree which checks are suitable at home. Some care and investigations need a clinic or hospital.

See the full visit

Who will visit me?

The proposed team includes registered midwives and doctors. Clinician names, professional credentials and available services will be published before visits begin. No clinician is assigned when you submit an enquiry.

Do I still need a hospital?

Yes. Home care cannot replace hospital care. LVNDOC does not offer home births. Your maternity team should help you plan where to give birth and arrange any facility based care, scans or specialist assessment you need.

What about my Maternal and Child Health Record Book?

Keep it and bring it to your maternity appointments. Ask your clinician to update it. The LVNDOC tracker is a personal journal and does not replace your official maternity records.

Where do you operate?

Greater Accra is the proposed starting area, including Cantonments, Airport, Labone, Osu, East Legon, Ridge, Dzorwulu, Spintex, Tse Addo. Service availability is not yet confirmed. Kumasi, Takoradi, Tema, Cape Coast are part of the longer term plan.

How many visits will I have?

The World Health Organization recommends at least eight antenatal contacts: the first by 12 weeks, then at 20, 26, 30, 34, 36, 38 and 40 weeks. Your clinician sets your individual schedule and the setting for each contact. App dates are planning estimates, not booked visits or a guarantee of eight home visits.

Safety3 answers
Is antenatal care at home safe?

A clinician needs to decide whether home care is appropriate for your pregnancy. LVNDOC’s proposed service requires clinical protocols, qualified providers and referral arrangements before it opens. Emergencies need immediate hospital care; do not wait for an enquiry response or a home visit.

Read the planned safeguards

What if something is wrong between visits?

For bleeding in pregnancy, a severe headache or blurred vision, a fit, severe pain, fever, fluid leaking, or a baby who is moving less, do not wait for anyone to reply. Go to the nearest hospital or call 112 or 193. LVNDOC is not an emergency service.

Do you look after high risk pregnancies?

A specialist referral pathway is planned, but services are not yet available. The tracker does not assess risk or monitor your entries. If you have a condition or concern that could affect your pregnancy, discuss it with your own clinician, who can arrange the appropriate care.

Cost and payment3 answers
How much does it cost?

The web tracker is free. Clinical care plans and single visits are proposed; prices and availability are not yet confirmed. Any future care would need an agreed scope and price before an appointment is confirmed.

See care plans

How do I pay?

The website and tracker do not take payments. Payment arrangements for future clinical care will be explained before any appointment is agreed.

Can I use my health insurance?

Insurance arrangements are not in place for the proposed LVNDOC service. Working with insurers is a later stage plan; no insurance cover is promised here.

Privacy1 answers
Who can see my information?

Tracker entries are saved in this browser. Anyone with access to the device may be able to view them, and exported copies can be read by anyone you share them with. Sending an enquiry shares the form details with LVNDOC and the services used to deliver it. The current tracker is not a shared clinical record.

Employers and clinicians2 answers
I am an employer. Can I offer this to my staff?

The LVNDOC Women's Health Benefit is planned. It is planned to give employees menstrual health and fertility education, pregnancy support and tracking, selected consultations and postpartum support. You can enquire about the proposed programme and share your team’s needs.
