30% of women have irregular cycles (either short, long, or inconsistent).
Irregular cycles can vary from month to month. Some cycles may be long while others may be very short. Women whose cycles fluctuate greatly from month to month are more likely to experience obstacles in their fertility than women whose cycles are typically long or short. Irregular cycles could be a sign of thyroid gland irregularities, elevated hormone levels such as prolactin, androgens, PCOS, or diminished ovarian reserve.
Short cycles can be a sign of hormonal imbalances, reduced fertility, approach of menopause, or ovaries with fewer eggs. Longer cycles can indicate hormonal imbalances, lack of ovulation, other fertility issues, or increased risk of miscarriage.
Some methods are tracking and predicting ovulation, taking medication, reducing stress, and living a healthy lifestyle.
Our at-home test allows you to measure your exact hormone levels to learn if and when you ovulate each cycle.
Our at-home test measures two hormones quantitatively. That means you get your exact hormone measurements every time you use Oova- not just an idea of whether your levels are high or low, or whether or not you might be ovulating. Oova measures luteinizing hormone, which pinpoints ovulation, and progesterone, which confirms that an egg was actually released. Once you scan your Oova strip, you can see all of your data in comprehensible terms in our smartphone app, along with personalized daily action plans to help you reach your goals. ⠀
