FEMM Period Ovulation Tracker Reviews

I got FEMMPeriodOvulationTracker because I want to start tracking my cycles so I could get pregnant. FEMMPeriodOvulationTracker acted like that I had something wrong with me and I wasn’t ovulating. I was pretty freaked out. When we tried to conceive last month I didn’t think I had ovulated and there was no way I was pregnant especially after trying for only a month. This prompted me to buy an ovulation kit that also included pregnancy tests. I also bought a modern fertility kit and spent $160! The pregnancy strips intrigued me and I had so many I decided what could it hurt to test. It came up positive. I took a digital test the next morning to confirm and I’m for sure pregnant.
FEMMPeriodOvulationTracker made me doubt my fertility and just assume I wasn’t pregnant. I’m glad that I ended up taking a test because my husband and I were planning on having a few drinks the weekend I tested. My Flo app was better than this.

I used to love FEMMPeriodOvulationTracker, but lately, it has been extremely glitchy for the past few months. For example, it asks me if I want to get pregnant and for the date of my last period every time I log in, making it feel like I'm logging in for the first time. I don't remember my last period date if it's already on the calendar, so I don't understand why it's asking me again. Additionally, it seems to have my cycles very mixed up, with cycle numbers being jumbled with spotting or other cycles, failing to capture my entire menstruation cycle accurately. This is very disappointing because I love FEMMPeriodOvulationTracker, but I have to consider finding another one and transferring my data, which will be a hassle.

FEMMPeriodOvulationTracker crashes whenever I try to share my charts. This is a KEY feature when seeking help from a healthcare provider, and that is the reason for my low rating. 2/5 stars. App has very limited utility for health without working export or share. UPDATE 7/2- export feature is working only sometimes. I’ll improve my rating to 3/5.
I am also getting glitches around symptoms. Sometimes the data entry does show all symptom entry options, forcing me to re-create as custom. The new entries appear on a different line, resulting in a cluttered chart/graph. This glitch was fixed in one update, and then broken again. This feature gets 3/5 stars, needs a permanent fix.

First of all, I am so happy to have found a charting app that doesn’t charge a monthly fee. However, you can’t rely on what it says when it tells you your “safe days”. If I did that, I would never have a safe day. It always thinks I’m about to ovulate. You can enter in all kinds of stuff (BBT, symptoms, lh tests etc.) but at the end of the day the only factor it looks at to determine ovulation is CM. I have a hormonal imbalance due to breastfeeding so my CM is confusing. For this reason, I rely heavily on BBT. I know what day I ovulated. I had peak mucus that day and the day before, peak lh the day before, a dry day the day after and a distinct rise in BBT that lasted the rest of the cycle, but because I had CM a few days later it didn’t think I’d ovulated yet. I can’t even find a way to manually mark my ovulation day. The bottom line is that it’s a free, simple-to-use app that allows you to track anything you need it to, but you really have to know what you’re doing.

While I previously appreciated the functionality of FEMMPeriodOvulationTracker and was even planning to download this for my daughter to track her cycles, the May 2024 update has caused bugs that made me second guess that decision.
Upon opening FEMMPeriodOvulationTracker , you are always on the previous day, when you try to select the calendar to jump to the correct day, you will still be taken to the day before.
Data entry has also gotten unreliable because the menu doesn’t function as intuitively as it used to. Now, because of the date issue, you may be altering a previously recorded data set for a day, or, because of bugs, what you enter, may not save because you may be jumped to another date before your data fully enters.

This was a wonderful app. I have full confidence the development team can overcome the bugs and come up with a solution. It’s just a disappointment in the meantime for those of us who are using it as part of our NFP and FemmHealth tracking and not merely a period tracker.

Using FEMMPeriodOvulationTracker has (so far) been much better than other methods of charting. I’d appreciate it if it were a little more inclusive (not quite as distinctly “feminine”) though my ob/gyn is grateful for the amount of info about my cycle and hormones. Much less aggressive than the creighton model but still really useful info.

However, the notifications are driving me mad and making me want to delete FEMMPeriodOvulationTracker ! Having a notification pop up on my Home Screen that blatantly states “yesterday you were cervical mucus: dry” and not having any way to turn it off or change it is very annoying. Could the developers please please adjust this or at least make it something that doesn’t state my cervical mucus, but asks something more vague like “anything to tell FEMM today?” That would be great.

FEMMPeriodOvulationTracker provides the ideal format for recording a woman's daily observations concerning her health and fertility. Excellent for assisting a woman in identifying her fertile and infertile rimes of the month.

HOWEVER-- A small glitch in FEMMPeriodOvulationTracker that I want to bring to the manufacturer's attention: when under the analysis tab and looking at the data using the graph feature, I am unable to select which cycle to look at. The scroll down/select menu will appear when I click on the currently-viewed cycle, but then the menu becomes unresponsive and any scrolling or selecting I attempt to do affects the graph in the background and not the menu I'm trying to select from.

(Potentially related-- this also sometimes occurs when utilizing the summary feature also under the Analysis tab, but usually closing and reopening FEMMPeriodOvulationTracker alleviates this.)

I’ve used the FEMM app for 5 years, first as a single woman and now as a wife and mother. It gets better with each update! It’s easy to use and lovely to look at.

After tracking my cycle for so many years the knowledge I have of my body is second nature. I see the signs and know almost exactly where I am in my cycle and if I’m fertile or not. And having a history of my cycles all these years is invaluable. I used FEMMPeriodOvulationTracker and my gained knowledge to conceive my first child. With my charting I was able to accurately predict her due date before seeing a doctor! Also, it was great to have the pattern of my cycles before pregnancy so that when my cycle returned later after birth, I could see if it was back to my normal or not.

I highly recommend FEMMPeriodOvulationTracker for any woman who’d like to understand her body better, and therefore have better control of her health. My OB/GYN is always impressed when I come to her and can educate her about my own body and not vice versa.

With the newest update FEMMPeriodOvulationTracker for whatever reason has been bugging and glitching like crazy. It refuses to actually be on the day that is today. It’s always a day behind. No matter how many times I click on the “today” button it’s a day behind. I click on the correct day to check off my tasks or change anything and it reverts back to the previous day. I can’t go back and undo any tasks I’ve clicked on previous days anymore and when I try to click on the number days when I’m entering my observations it clicks two-three days ahead or behind, I can no longer just click on a day and it takes me to that day. It’s becoming increasingly harder to use as I have to click todays date 5 times before I can enter my observations for that day. Please fix whatever bug this is, I’m trying really hard to convince and this is so frustrating and making my journey harder.

The extra information and analysis this out goes out of their way to provide is extremely empowering to know and help helps. Women take charge of our own fertility and truly understand what is going on with our bodies. I wish more apps were like this. I love this approach and I love that you can use it to both try for or avoid pregnancy. I also love that they don’t sell your data like so many other tracking apps do! You can even use FEMMPeriodOvulationTracker without making an account and have everything be entirely local on your phone although you run the risk of losing your data if anything happens to your phone however, I appreciate the informed consent with which they tell you both of those options.

I switched to FEMMPeriodOvulationTracker after several years of using another and after trying out quite a few other apps. FEMM is easy to use and works even for my young daughters who don’t need to track everything, yet. Customizable tracking!

My only reason for one less star is that FEMM isn’t integrated with Apple’s Health app. Otherwise, I am grateful for all that it does and the choices it offers. Being able to Note extra observations helps as a cycle goes into a new phase, like perimenopause or menopause, or helps one distinguish an hormonal imbalance that could indicate endometriosis or ovarian cysts. The FEMM education area even gives tips to help a newbie make accurate observations so that the data she enters is useful. The charts are great; already learned new things about my cycle’s recent changes which I can share with my doctor.

Notifications arrive discreetly on both my phone & Apple Watch: reminders to enter today’s data.

Highly Recommended.
Avoiding pregnancy, attempting to get pregnant, taking a birth control pill, using the Natural Family Planning Method, or tracking your cycle for awareness or health issues—use FEMMPeriodOvulationTracker.

Using FEMMPeriodOvulationTracker to help track my NFP observations in a more systemized, organized way. Let me tell you: it is super easy to use, and it offers analysis of how you’re doing. As with any app, you know your body best, but seeing the trends/things to be aware of is soooo helpful, as is a comprehensive place to document what you’re seeing. It’s helped me be more aware of my own body and fertility, and I feel good supporting this company because of their commitment to helping ALL women, born and unborn, to embrace our feminine genius without poisoning our bodies with hormones and chemicals that have lasting and real negative consequences. Ignore the vitriol of the anti-life, pro-abortion zealots who downloaded FEMMPeriodOvulationTracker JUST to leave a negative review. They are so rabid in their desire to protect their sacrament of abortion that they close their hearts to an app which truly IS empowering women to know our bodies better and work with, not against, our natural cycles. Bravo, FEMM! Keep fighting the good fight!

I’m a grad student and have been using the FEMM app ever since I learned about it during my undergrad. Tracking my cycle with the FEMM app has helped me to become more attuned to my body. Alongside my cycle, I can log notes about my stress levels, acne breakouts, mood swings, cravings, productivity spurts, etc. During certain times in my cycle, those things are more common. It’s been really enlightening to survey past changes in my body/mood and compare them to what point in my cycle I was in. FEMMPeriodOvulationTracker helps me to understand my body, make predictions about my next cycle, and notice when something is off. I track my cycle using the FEMM app for the same reason I exercise and watch my diet — my health!

I recently switched to FEMM from Clue and I love it! I’m abstinent, so I’m not tracking any fertility symptoms yet, but even the information it gives you on your period and your hormones is more than I’ve seen in any other app- it gives you tips to feel better and fight pms, predicts which of your hormones are low or high depending on where you are in your cycle, tells you when you should be speaking to a doctor, etc. I love that it’s so detailed, and how empowering it is to women by teaching us more about our bodies and our cycles. It is also compatible with a few different NFP methods. I would definitely recommend this to any woman, even if you’re not sexually active and just need a period tracker!

When I had to start thinking about using Birth Control i hated the idea of my body having to get “use” to new hormones. I found out about FEMM and I fell in love. My doctors love FEMMPeriodOvulationTracker because it tells them a lot about what’s happening to my body. I love it cause I don’t have to go through all the hormonal changes or putting something in my body that doesn’t belong there. I eat almost all organic and wholesome foods, so putting something in my body that wasn’t there in the first place didn’t jive well.

My husband and I have been using FEMMPeriodOvulationTracker for over two years and have been able to avoid pregnancy with no issues. I also feel like I know a lot about my body now!

The FEMM app is fantastic! Throughout these past 3 years using FEMMPeriodOvulationTracker , I’ve become more informed about my health. The tool equips me to know what hormone is dominant each day. I can then identify patterns. Especially through the educational information icons, I’ve been able to identify what patterns are healthy. This equips me to know the status of my overall health. I especially enjoy identifying connections between life style factors and their impact on my hormones. Through all of this information, I am then able to make informed life-style decisions (sleep, nutrition, exercise, etc) that support my health. The FEMM app is so empowering to my health and my confidence. I am so grateful for the FEMM app!

Using FEMMPeriodOvulationTracker all the way in Belgium, and would keep recommending it!! Few reasons why it’s been a life changer for me
- before using FEMMPeriodOvulationTracker and following the training, I didn’t know anything about my body, cycle and function of hormone levels on my daily/monthly basis. Goal: health management & fertility education
- I start seeing, thanks to the visual trackings, what has an impact and what not. I listen more to my body thanks to the tracking and understanding. Goal: health management
- FEMMPeriodOvulationTracker is amazing tool to communicate and have a conversation with my husband. It is a visual and explanatory way to understand what I’m up to. Goal: collaborative tool and family planning
- I feel an empowered woman, as I understand my body, irregularities and can help other female friends. I even encourage men to recommend it with there loved once! Goal: be empowered and educated!
An amazing story, a friend of mine doesn’t have FEMMPeriodOvulationTracker on her phone, but her husband has. Doing so, they are extra encouraged to engage in a common project as couple and communicate. I love it!

Thanks FEMM

FEMMPeriodOvulationTracker has been very helpful with me to be more in tune with my cycle and changes. It gives great info on hormones and allows you to add additional systems to track. This will be helpful when I go to the doctor as well. I do wish it had blood clots already added as one of the symptoms and more info on what that could mean in relation to your cycle and hormones. Over all I am pleased. I’m not sure if it will give me a heads up on future dates when hormones change and results in feeling anxious as that would be helpful. All in all I’m pleased with this free app and find it very helpful. Thank you !

I’ve been using FEMMPeriodOvulationTracker and the FEMM protocol for years now. FEMMPeriodOvulationTracker itself has a beautiful, easy to use interface. FEMMPeriodOvulationTracker keeps reproductive knowledge fresh in your mind through scientific facts shared when you chart.
The only “take with a grain of salt” piece of advice I have to share is that FEMMPeriodOvulationTracker will tell you a peak day according to your charting and the protocol. For women in unique charting situations especially, that peak day might not be accurate. However, this is why we only use FEMMPeriodOvulationTracker to keep track of data and not to tell us when we are fertile/infertile.
Knowledge is power, and the FEMM app and protocol is creating powerful women around the world by handing them the tools they need to understand their fertility and their health.
I will continue to support FEMMPeriodOvulationTracker, the protocol, and this organization as they move forward on an amazing mission.

FEMMPeriodOvulationTracker is a very helpful tool. I just started using it to track my periods and I like all of the information it lets you input so you get an accurate picture of what’s going on in your body. This way, you can notice patterns with your cycles. Very cool! I think FEMMPeriodOvulationTracker would be beneficial to those like me with a history of reproductive health problems, since it helps you keep daily records that you can go over with your doctor. As for those negative remarks about FEMMPeriodOvulationTracker being anti-science, that is simply not true. It is very scientific to have a solid knowledge of what’s going on in your body. FEMMPeriodOvulationTracker helps with that. To those interested in FEMMPeriodOvulationTracker, I’d say keep an open mind and don’t let the anti-Catholic, bigoted comments dissuade you. To those posting the nasty comments, you are free to not use FEMMPeriodOvulationTracker. That is your choice. But please do not try to take alway the options and choices of other women like me who like this sort of app. You are all about choice, right?
