Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Treatment Group
Participants who are in the intervention group will receive the FertiStrong app downloading instructions as soon as they have been randomized. They will have access to this app for a period of 30 days during the intervention phase of the study.
FertiStrong App
The FertiStrong mobile app is similar to FertiCalm, which is designed for women with infertility. FertiCalm (www.FertiCalm.com) can be downloaded for free anywhere in the US, for both Apple and Android phones. Each app contains twelve main categories and each main category contains up to five tailored situations. For each situation, there are six options. Three of the options are the same for all situations (humor, self-nurture, relaxation) and three are unique (cognitive solutions, behavioral solutions, social solutions).
Control Group
Participants in the control group will not have access to the FertiStrong app for the first 30 days. After a period of 30 days, participants will be provided downloading instructions to this app.
