Several reasons people switch
Real reasons, not marketing fluff.
1. A modern app, not a web-era interface
Fertility Friend has been around since the early 2000s and it shows - the interface is dense and web-first. Femora is a clean, native iOS and Android app built for how people actually use their phones today.
2. All life stages, not just TTC charting
Fertility Friend is a specialist charting tool for trying to conceive. Femora keeps working after you conceive - pregnancy week-by-week, postpartum recovery, and menopause - all in one app with one subscription.
3. Real human expert chat
Fertility Friend has community forums. Femora adds a certified health expert you can text in-app for a direct answer, without waiting on a forum thread.
4. Medication reminders built in
Fertility Friend has no medication reminders. Femora ships birth control pill-pack tracking, fertility med schedules, vitamins, refill alerts, and even cycle-synced doses.
5. Same clinical seriousness, cleaner surface
You don't have to give up rigorous tracking to get a modern app. Femora logs BBT, OPK, and cervical mucus, predicts with a weighted 6-cycle algorithm, and presents it all without the spreadsheet feel.
When you should stick with Fertility Friend
We'd rather you stay with Fertility Friend than churn from Femora a month in. Stick with Fertility Friend if:
- •You're a dedicated BBT/fertility-awareness charter and rely on Fertility Friend's detailed detection and overlay tools
- •You value the long-running Fertility Friend community forums
- •You only want deep TTC charting and nothing else
- •You prefer a non-auto-renewing VIP membership you control manually
Built by Dr. Sapna Jadhav, women's health physician
Femora was founded by Dr. Sapna Jadhav - a practicing women's health physician based in Dubai - and a small engineering team. The "real expert chat" isn't marketing copy; it's the foundation of the product. Every clinical guideline, phase tip, and symptom response is shaped by an actual doctor who's spent her career in women's reproductive health.

Frequently asked
Is Femora as good as Fertility Friend for BBT charting?
For hardcore fertility-awareness charters who want the deepest temperature-detection and overlay tools, Fertility Friend goes further - it's a specialist. Femora logs BBT, OPK, and cervical mucus and covers most people's needs well, while also handling pregnancy, postpartum, menopause, and expert chat in the same app.
Is Fertility Friend free?
Fertility Friend has a free tier plus a paid VIP membership (which includes a trial of VIP features and does not auto-renew). Femora is $2.99/mo or $29.99/yr after a 7-day free trial.
Can I import my Fertility Friend charts?
There's no automated import. Re-entering your recent period start dates in Femora takes a few minutes and is all the prediction algorithm needs; you can then log BBT/OPK/CM going forward.
Is Femora better than Fertility Friend?
For a modern app that covers every life stage with expert chat, yes. For the single deepest fertility-charting experience, Fertility Friend still has an edge for power users. Many people find Femora is more than enough and far easier to live in day to day.
Can I use Femora on iPhone and Android?
Yes. Native iOS and Android apps. One subscription covers both.
