infertility is not
your identity
familyfriends is a social support app and resource exclusively for individuals and couples impacted by infertility to foster connection and combat isolation.
infertility doesn’t have to be isolating
infertility affects a staggering 1 in 6 people worldwide, so why the f*ck is it so lonely?
Infertility is hard to talk about and even harder to go through. We’re changing the narrative by building a platform for connection and support during one of life’s most stressful and isolating experiences. familyfriends is for anyone who is impacted by infertility. Whether you’re looking to meet other couples who truly know what you’re going through, commiserate about medication side effects, need some emotional support during the TWW (two week wait, IYKYK), or you’ve finished your journey and want to be a resource for others, this is the place.
make friends that feel like family
match + meet
Our focus is on building genuine, lasting connections. We know you’re familiar with dating-style apps and we’re not reinventing the wheel with familyfriends, but this is exclusively for those impacted by infertility. Our matching system focuses on your shared interests; after all, infertility is not your identity. Build your profile for just you or you + your partner and connect with other individuals or couples in your area.
ask + answer
Our forum is perfect for asking questions and sharing experiences. While we want to encourage community and conversation, forums will be moderated to ensure this is a safe space for everyone. You’ll be in control and can choose the types of content you see and interact with.
connect + convene
Joining groups is a great way to connect with new friends who share your same interests or similar fertility journeys. Don’t see the group for you? Build your own and invite others to join. Groups will have the option to be public – anyone can join – or private – invite-only, you’re in control.

we truly get it
Although it affects nearly a quarter of the population, infertility is one of life’s most isolating and emotionally challenging experiences. We know this firsthand; we struggled to start a family for nearly three years. Even the most loving and well-intentioned friends and family members cannot truly understand the physical and emotional toll infertility takes. We realized the connection and support we were missing was from others fighting the same battle. So, we’re on a mission to turn infertility into the foundation for building life-long friendships and support.
Here’s to making friends that feel like family!
