How do I set up cycle-synced medication reminders?

Bottom lineTo set up a cycle-synced reminder in Femora, add a medication, choose 'Synced with my cycle' under 'When will you take this?', set the Starts and Ends offsets relative to your period (turn on the single-dose toggle for one reminder per cycle), pick a time, and save; the app then shows your next dose and recalculates the dates each cycle.

In Femora you can set a medication reminder that follows your cycle instead of fixed dates. Here is how.

Step by step

1. Open the medication editor and add a medication - choose the type (pill, patch, ring, IUD, shot, or other), then enter the name and dosage.
2. Under "When will you take this?", choose Synced with my cycle. The app describes it in plain language, like "From 9 days before your period until day 2."
3. Set the Starts offset (when the window begins, relative to your period) and the Ends offset (when it stops).
4. Turn on the single-dose toggle if you only want one reminder per cycle; leave it off for a daily reminder across the window.
5. Pick the time of day, add a refill alert if you want one, and save.

What you'll see next

The medication detail screen shows a Next window banner with your upcoming dose or date range, so you always know what is coming. When a dose is due, mark it taken with one tap and the app keeps your history, adherence, and streak.

If you haven't logged a period yet

Cycle-synced reminders need a period prediction to work. If you have not logged a period, the app will prompt you to log one first. If you have logged periods, it estimates from your average cycle length until a prediction is available.
