3 Japanese fertility apps to help you communicate and conceive

It is normal for many to feel anxiety and need support when trying to conceive. Of course, in Japan, we have apps for that! Introducing these fertility apps, which provide useful information to understanding our body condition to conceive, and also support communication with your partner.

Luna Luna

Luna Luna is a well-known fertility app in Japan with over 17 million downloads. The app predicts your ovulation date with their original algorithm, which analyzed data they have gathered over 15 years.

Through cooperation with medical institutions, Luna Luna released “Luna Luna Medico” in 2017. When visiting clinics, women are often asked to show records of their menstrual date and basal body temperature. In the 800 facilities which have introduced “Luna Luna Medico,” you can show your Luna Luna records just by giving them a six-digit number. With the paid version, you can share the records with your partner, and the app will notify both you and your partner of the days when you are most fertile.

KONOTOKI

KONOTOKI supports communication with your partner. The app will inform you of your most fertile days based on your estimated ovulation date by recording your menstrual cycle and basal body temperature. By connecting the apps with your partner, the app can also notify your partner of the days when you are most fertile and your body condition, which helps women who may be hesitant to tell their partners directly.

Connecting between apps also allows the use of a one-tap message function, which makes communication with your partner easier when trying to conceive. You also can receive information about your body’s condition according to your menstrual cycle and advice from experts to increase fertility. The app allows couples to work together to conceive by providing knowledge and information about the women’s body condition. KONOTOKI is also available in English, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.
