Women who don't have their blood sugar under control may have an increased risk for breast cancer. In a recent study, researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine found women with the highest blood sugar levels were one and a half times more likely to develop breast cancer. Experts say this study helps explain the link between obesity and breast cancer, as overweight women tend to have higher blood sugar levels.

A California company is in the baby making business. They're using technology to help get couples in the bedroom. Nancy Evars is on the go. She and her husband want to have a fourth child, but are so busy that they sometimes forget to try.

Nancy Evars says, "I don't really quite have time to be thinking about this all the time like I was when I was pregnant the first time."

That's where Baby Center's Booty Caller comes in. The phone application sends texts to women when they are likely to be ovulating.

Nissa Anklesaria with Baby Center says, "We created the Booty Caller for women like the ones in the Bay Area who are on the go, linking through their phones, to tell them this is the day for you and your husband to get together. Don't go out with your girlfriends tonight, and don't stay late for that meeting. Go home and try and have a baby if that's your goal."

Nancy's husband Scott also receives the same text messages. "The first time is the week before you move into your ovulation window, giving you a little warning. The second time is the first day your window is open so you can get busy, and the third time is the last day of your cycle and that's the last chance for you tog et pregnant in that cycle."

The Booty Caller is a free application that's based on statistics, not on a particular woman's biology. Nancy has only been using the Booty Caller for a couple of weeks, but thinks this is the ticket to baby number four. The Booty Caller also sends texts with tips on how to help increase your fertility.
