Premom is the first fertility app that reads ovulation test strips with your phone camera. Take a photo of your OPK, get a numerical LH reading instead of squinting at lines. Tracks cycles, predicts ovulation, logs BBT. Free basic version with OPK scanning. Premium adds advanced analytics. Also sells their own test strips and BBT thermometers. For the TTC parent who wants data without guesswork.
Every woman who's tried to conceive knows the squinting. Is that line darker? Is it the same? Is this a surge? Premom removes the guesswork - take a photo of your ovulation test strip, and the app gives you a numerical LH ratio instead of "maybe that's positive?"
The OPK (ovulation predictor kit) scanning works with most brands, though it's optimized for Easy@Home and Premom test strips (same parent company). Snap a photo, get a number, track the trend over days. When LH surges, you know it's time.
Beyond scanning: cycle tracking, ovulation prediction, BBT charting, period logging, and fertility insights. Free version includes OPK scanning and basic tracking. Premium adds advanced analytics and features.
Compared to Fertility Friend ($25-$45/yr, BBT charting specialist), Premom is more accessible and visual. FF is the charting powerhouse for data obsessives. Premom is the entry point for TTC parents who want simple, visual answers - "take photo, see number, know when."
Compared to Natural Cycles ($119.99/yr, FDA-cleared contraception), Premom is TTC-focused while Natural Cycles works for both preventing and planning pregnancy. Natural Cycles uses temperature only. Premom adds OPK data.
Compared to Clue ($39.99/yr), Premom is specifically designed for conceiving. Clue is a general cycle tracker that happens to show fertility windows. If you're actively trying, Premom's OPK scanning is a real advantage.
The company also sells test strips, pregnancy tests, BBT thermometers, and supplements - it's an ecosystem play. The strips are cheap (bulk packs on Amazon) and the scanning integration is seamless.
