Asked really invasive questions about medical history including lab values and diagnoses, deleted profile 5 minutes after entering all my info in. Good features seem to be behind a huge paywall and on top of that I don’t like my medical information being accessible to unknown entities.
I love having everything all in one place to track medications and results, but the convenience is overshadowed by consistent glitches. There’s loading issues with the calendar and the discussion boards, so much so that I can’t use the app at all some days.
I love this app, it’s nice to have one spot to manage your whole cycle. However, the community option is a bit messy. Old posts come up first when you open the app sometimes and other times you can’t find newer posts unless you bookmark it.
I personally think there should be an easier interface for the community to communicate, perhaps even a search bar within the community to find topics that interest you.
There is also no way to enter your results if you end up with multiples pregnancy or the results of your scans after you get a positive test. I just wish this was implemented so I don’t have to download multiple apps.
But overall it’s great and chatting with other people going through IVF helps a lot.

Thank you so much for the feedback. Would love if you could message us directly about the old posts issue as that may be a bug. The post with the latest comments does jump to the top, and if someone is super active on an older post, it comes back up. Can you email me at info@embieapp.comI was so pleased to find Embie as I embarked on my IVF journey about a year ago. Being so new to this, and slightly overwhelmed, Embie was a great platform to not only keep me organized with appointments and meds but to record my progress and seek info about the things my body may be doing/going through in this process.
Most recently, I have become pregnant through IVF and noticed that the app didn’t seem to be correctly reflecting this status. I reached out to the support team and was assisted by app creator/found, Ravid, directly. The help was quick, kind, and a resolution was provided via developer updates promptly.
Thank you, Ravid and the Embie team, for an absolutely wonderful and supportive app as well as your kindness!

We're so glad you found us Christine! So happy for you and sending positive vibes for your pregnancy ✨ ❤️I wanted to love this app, it’s so cute but I literally downloaded it this morning and was even frustrated at the glitches back logging my periods this last year.
The interface is just not there yet.
It’s very laggy and not a smooth process. The more I tried to work in it- the more it was pausing to load and tell me “you tried too many attempts”… what does that even mean??? I tried too many attempts at adding my cycles?
The transition between dates and months on the calendar makes no sense and glitches bouncing from full month to week. It’ll skip back to an old month you were on but not the month you want to be on.
Was really hoping this would have been great for tracking our first IUI cycle.

Thank you for the feedback. We're looking to replicate the bug you received with "you tried too many attempts" so we can fix it - it looks as though you went back about a year. We're hoping that since you're mostly using the app for future dates within the next month or so, that you won't face that glitch day to day. Happy to hear any other feedback you have as we try to improve the app. Feel free to email us at info@embieapp.comLove the clean look of this app, but so far it has not been intuitive entering information. My primary concern is that when adding the medication Menopur to the med list, the app labels this as refrigeration required. This is inaccurate. Concerning that inappropriate storage information is being displayed. Please update this!
Developer Response
Hi Oman, thanks for the feedback. This actually depends on where you live and if you're using 75IU or 1200IU, etc. Since we're an internationally available app, we take the stance of better safe than sorry. Some solvents for Menopur do require refrigeration before you mix, and all Menapur (mixed or not) can be refrigerated, but not frozen, so we therefore include this indication in the app. Would love to hear the rest of your feedback regarding entering information so we can continue to improve - email us directly at info@embieapp.comAbout to start a cycle and excited to have an app to track everything
Developer Response
So glad to have you!! Sending you lots of luck for your upcoming cycle. Won’t send an email verification even though I’ve requested a resend 10 times now. Won’t even let me log in to start using to app. No user support either. Sad considering I was actually excited about using this.

Hi there, I'd love to help. We do have a support link right at the bottom of the login and sign up pages, and you can feel free to email us directly at info@embieapp.comLove this app to track my IVF cycles! I would have given 5 stars, however, there is no way to manage the Home Screen to better plan and track what I have completed throughout the day. As you know, there can be a lot of stuff to do and would be nice to have the option to pick what I can view versus having a big part of the screen taken up by community posts (which is great to see when I’m not in the middle of a cycle). Also, I noticed that the button to mark meds as complete is so small that it sometimes clicks on the med without marking as complete which can be frustrating when I’ve got multiple meds to take. Otherwise it’s great!!
