WHILE THE INQ reported yesterday that Japan's NTT DoCoMo has just
released a handset that indicates the best time to procreate, a
British woman using a French phone has already given birth.
Brit Karen Donelan bought a Sagem MyC-3B handset in Andorra and
discovered that it contain an app called the Pink Schedule.
She put in details of her menstrual cycle and became pregnant on
the first day the phone suggested. Karen gave birth to her son
Aaron around three months ago.
Karen also wrote to the Chinese software house that developed the
program to thank them.
So female designer Momoko Ikuta who designed the pregnancy advisory
handset for DoCoMo has been well and truly pipped to the
post.
Call of the child after 13 years

MIRACLE mum Karen Donelan spent 13 roller-coaster years and £20,000
trying to have a baby then had one thanks to her MOBILE
PHONE.
She almost gave up hope after two cycles of costly IVF treatment
left her fighting for life with dangerously over-stimulated
ovaries.
Karen, 37, and husband Derek spent thousands more on alternative
treatments such as acupuncture, Chinese medicine and reflexology.
Nothing worked.
Then last October her new mobile phone start bleeping.
Karen flipped it open and saw it was alerting her to the Pink
Schedule a software programme to tell women when they are most
fertile.
