Warning
Do not use as contraception. The Fertile Window feature has been designed and developed specifically as an aid in conceiving a pregnancy, and not as a tool to help prevent pregnancy. Using the Fertile Window feature counter to its indications can result in pregnancy. Subtle shifts in your data can change your fertility status, and conception is possible outside of your predicted Fertile Window.
If you are interested in contraception options, see Oura’s website for information about our partnership with Natural Cycles, which offers FDA-cleared digital contraception powered by the Oura Ring.
Precautions
Only limited data are available for cycles that are shorter than 21 days or longer than 35 days. Data are also limited for cycles that vary by more than 7 days in length. This might result in incomplete or inaccurate predictions for users with shorter or longer cycle lengths, or cycles with higher variation in length over time.
Only limited data are available for use in cases of diagnosed or clinical infertility. This might result in incomplete or inaccurate predictions for users with these conditions.
The following circumstances may affect your physiology, and could result in an inaccurate fertility status: irregular cycles, breastfeeding, irregular sleep, working night shifts, insomnia, use of temperature-affecting medications, use of alcohol, extensive smoking, recreational drug use, sickness, infections, extreme physical or mental stress, and traveling through different time zones.
Product Description
Fertile Window is for Oura Ring users with menstrual cycles. It helps users estimate the days in their cycle when they’re most likely to conceive, so they can plan ahead. Fertile Window also helps users follow and understand their menstrual cycles by providing future predictions and historical data.
Indications For Use
The Fertile Window is intended to interpret physiological parameters as an aid in ovulation prediction to facilitate conception.
The Fertile Window is intended for use as a personal fertility monitoring tool. It has been developed to aid individuals in understanding and tracking their fertility patterns to help them plan to conceive a pregnancy.
The Fertile Window is not intended for use as contraception.
Intended Purpose (EU Region)
The Fertile Window is intended to interpret physiological parameters as an aid in ovulation prediction to facilitate conception (not to be used for contraception).
Target Population And Intended Users
The intended user group is adults with menstrual cycles. The Fertile Window is not intended for the pediatric population (<18 years of age).
Contraindications
- Do not use Fertile Window as contraception. Fertile Window can only be used as an aid in conceiving a pregnancy and cannot be used to prevent pregnancy.
-
The Fertile Window is not intended:
- for the pediatric population (<18 years of age)
- for people who don’t have a natural temperature variance in their menstrual cycle due to conditions like fertility treatments, hormonal contraception, hormone replacement therapy, or any drugs, medication, or hormones that impact natural temperature variation
Side Effects
Fertile Window has no known direct side effects.
Using The Fertile Window
Fertile Window is available to Oura members with an Oura Ring Generation 3 or later. For region availability, please visit Feature Availability.
Please follow these steps to use the Fertile Window software:
1. Update your Oura App to the latest available version.
- This will help keep your app safe from cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities. Oura recommends that you set your smartphone to update the Oura App automatically
- For iOS, open "App Store" from your phone, search for the Oura App and select to update, if an update is available
- For Android, open "Play Store" from your phone, search for the Oura App and select to update, if an update is available
2. Enter Cycle Insights
- Upon launching the Oura App, navigate to the Cycle Insights feature
- From there, scroll to the "Predictions" section
Your Fertile Window And The Predictions Section
Before Ovulation Is Detected
- Before ovulation is detected, in the Predictions section, you will notice certain days with dashed white circles, indicating your estimated Fertile Window
- Within your estimated fertile window, one day will be marked with a white icon of an egg. This is your estimated ovulation day
- You will also see one day highlighted in light blue. This indicates today's date
As Ovulation Is Being Confirmed
- Oura observes your physiology for at least two days before confirming ovulation detection, as many factors can cause a rise in average basal body temperature
- During this confirmation period, as your cycle moves past your estimated ovulation date, the solid white icon of an egg in your Predictions section will be replaced with an icon of a clock
After Ovulation Is Detected
- Once Oura confirms ovulation detection, your confirmed fertile window will be marked by solid white circles and your confirmed ovulation day will be marked with an icon of an egg
- The Fertile Window spans from 5 days before ovulation, to 1 day after ovulation. It represents the days in which you're most likely to conceive during your current cycle
- Your Fertile Window estimate is based on physiological data captured by the software, and information you provide about your cycle. Remember to log each day of your period to keep your predictions accurate and up-to-date. If you don’t have a period during a cycle, wait until the end of your luteal phase when your temperature drops, and log a period with “no flow.” The ovulation and Fertile Window cannot be predicted if periods are not logged accurately
Seeing All Future Predictions In Your Calendar
- The Predictions section will only show one predicted cycle event at a time—either your estimated Fertile Window or your next expected period
- If you’d like to see all your upcoming predictions at once, tap the blue "View calendar" button
- Once in your Calendar, you can see your estimated Fertile Window, ovulation day, and upcoming period all in the same place
- The days within your estimated Fertile Window will be marked with white circles. Your estimated ovulation day will be marked with a solid white icon of an egg
- The days circled in red represent the range of days in which your period is estimated to begin
- The day highlighted in light blue indicates today’s date
Your Fertile Window And The Daily Temperature Graph
Before Ovulation Is Detected:
- Before ovulation is detected, Oura creates estimates for your ovulation day and Fertile Window. Your Fertile Window spans from 5 days before you ovulate to 1 day after
- Your Daily Temperature graph shows you how your temperature rises and falls each day compared to your baseline throughout your cycle
- On days when you’re in your Estimated Fertile Window, your “Chance of conception” will be marked as “High,” accompanied by an icon of a meter with a high reading
- When you’re outside your estimated Fertile Window, your “Chance of conception” will be marked as “Low,” next to an icon of a meter with a low reading
- Please note that your estimates can change. Cycle Insights will update to reflect these changes, but your estimates should not be used as a form of birth control.
After Ovulation Is Detected:
- Oura observes your physiology for at least two days before confirming ovulation detection, as many factors can cause a rise in basal body temperature
- Once ovulation has been detected, your confirmed ovulation day will be marked on the bottom of your temperature graph with a solid white icon of an egg
- In addition, your “Chance of conception” will be marked as “Ovulation detected.”
- After ovulation has been detected, your Fertile Window will shift from estimated to confirmed, and the dates of your Fertile Window will be set for the remainder of your cycle. If temperature patterns change later in your cycle or a historical input is changed (such as editing or deleting a historical period log), your detected ovulation date could change
- When you scroll back through previous days in your cycle, your confirmed Fertile Window days will be represented by a dot icon beneath the temperature line on your Daily Temperature graph, and the span of your fertile window will be highlighted with a white background
- In addition, you will find "Chance of conception" marked as "High" for these days, next to an icon of a meter with a high reading
-
After ovulation has been detected, days outside of your Fertile Window will have no accompanying icon on your Daily Temperature graph.
- In addition, your "Chance of conception" will be marked as "Low," next to an icon of a meter with a low reading
