What are cycle-synced medication reminders?

Bottom lineCycle-synced medication reminders anchor a dose to your predicted period (for example, '9 days before your period until day 2') instead of a fixed date, so the timing shifts automatically each cycle; you can set a single dose or a daily window, which is useful for PMS relief, menstrual migraine, fertility support, and cyclical HRT.

Cycle-synced medication reminders are reminders that are anchored to your predicted period instead of fixed calendar dates. Because your period start drifts a little each month, a fixed reminder slowly falls out of sync - cycle-synced reminders move with your cycle so the timing stays accurate.

How they work

In Femora, you set the schedule using two points, both measured in days relative to the first day of your period:

• Starts - when the reminder window begins (for example, 9 days before your period, or day 2 of your period)
• Ends - when it stops

If the start and end are the same day, you get a single dose that day. If the end is later, you get a daily reminder across the whole window. Each cycle, the app recalculates the dates from your latest prediction.

When they help

Cycle-synced timing is useful whenever a medication is meant to track your cycle rather than the calendar - PMS relief that should start before your period, menstrual-migraine prevention around the estrogen drop, fertility trigger and progesterone support, and cyclical HRT.

Cycle-synced reminders are part of Femora, alongside refill alerts, side-effect logging, and pause mode. This is general information about an app feature, not medical advice - follow the timing your prescriber gives you.
