Would you like to learn how to use OvulaRing, how it can support you in getting pregnant, whether your health insurance covers it, or if your cycle is healthy?
Our customer service team is happy to answer all your personal questions. In today’s blog post, we have compiled and answered some of the most frequently asked questions for you.
What Are the Benefits of OvulaRing?
OvulaRing is a completely new, patented method for tracking your cycle—developed by gynecologists and medically tested multiple times. Using a vaginal biosensor, OvulaRing automatically records your core body temperature around the clock—without the hassle of measuring your temperature every morning.
Instead of just one data point per day, OvulaRing stores 288 data points daily, allowing for a much more accurate analysis of your cycle, regardless of cycle length and external factors like stress, sleep, exercise, or diet. Medical algorithms analyze the data and identify your individual cycle and fertility patterns.
With OvulaRing, you can determine whether you are ovulating or if there are signs of a hormonal cycle disorder. Additionally, you can track your daily conception probability in real-time and receive an ovulation forecast for the next cycle.
Since OvulaRing continuously measures temperature, it is suitable for all cycle types and has been clinically validated in three medical studies for various cycle patterns beyond the standard cycle.
How Does OvulaRing Help Me Get Pregnant?
Each cycle has about six days when you can conceive—this fertile window includes the four days before ovulation, the ovulation day itself, and the day after ovulation.
📌 Your chances of pregnancy are highest two days before ovulation.
Timing is key for quickly fulfilling your desire to have a child. 81% of women trying to conceive who track their cycle become pregnant within six months.
OvulaRing records your core body temperature 288 times per day. This high-resolution tracking allows for the detection of your fertile window and your individual cycle patterns. Medical algorithms evaluate your data and provide a reliable, daily conception probability in the software.
💡 On average, OvulaRing users conceive within just 3.8 months.
Our cycle experts are happy to assist you on your journey to pregnancy.
How Do I Use OvulaRing?
OvulaRing is as easy to use as a tampon. Since the ring is made of flexible plastic, you can gently squeeze it and insert it deeply into the vagina—no medical assistance is needed.
When and How Long Should I Wear OvulaRing?
OvulaRing should be inserted no later than the 6th day of your cycle and then continuously records your temperature pattern.
📌 You can read the sensor data as often as you like during this time.
The temperature tracking ring should be removed at the beginning of your next period and reinserted once your period has ended.
Can I Insert OvulaRing Later in My Cycle?
We recommend inserting OvulaRing by the 6th day of your cycle to ensure complete tracking of all cycle phases.
- In your first cycle, OvulaRing learns your fertility patterns and can be inserted up to 3 days later if necessary.
- From the second cycle onward, inserting OvulaRing after day 6 may prevent real-time fertility tracking.
If you have long cycles or are unsure about your next cycle start date, please contact our customer service for personalized guidance.
When and How Often Should I Read OvulaRing?
📌 You can read OvulaRing as often as you like.
The data is transferred to a web-based analysis software via a USB reader. You can access your personal account anytime, from anywhere.
🔹 Data security is our top priority.
🔹 There’s no specific time of day for reading your temperature data.
Recommendations:
✔️ At the start of use: Read once to familiarize yourself with the process.
✔️ From the second cycle onward: Read daily a few days before your fertile phase is expected.
✔️ Once your software shows that your fertile phase is over, daily readings are no longer necessary—OvulaRing can remain in place until the cycle ends.
When Does My OvulaRing Subscription Start?
Your subscription begins when you first record temperature data using the biosensor, but no later than one month after your OvulaRing package is shipped.
Can I Feel OvulaRing Inside My Body?
After insertion, the ring adjusts itself naturally due to its flexible material.
📌 If properly placed, you shouldn’t feel it at all.
✔️ If you do feel it, gently push it slightly deeper.
✔️ It cannot get lost or go too deep.
✔️ You can exercise, sauna, have sex, and sleep as usual while wearing it.
Can OvulaRing Be Felt During Sex?
OvulaRing can remain in place during sex.
- Studies show most women and their partners do not feel it.
- If it causes discomfort, you can remove it before sex and reinsert it afterward.
⚠️ Avoid gaps longer than one hour per day to maintain fertility tracking accuracy.
Can OvulaRing Block the Cervix During Sex?
No. OvulaRing naturally positions itself around the cervix, leaving it unobstructed. Sperm can move freely into the uterus.
How Can I Improve My Chances of Conceiving?
Timing is key:
✔️ The fertile window starts five days before ovulation (since sperm can survive in cervical mucus for up to five days).
✔️ The egg is viable for only 6–12 hours after ovulation.
Most pregnancies occur 1–2 days before ovulation.
If you have regular intercourse (2–4 times per week), you maximize your chances. If pregnancy hasn’t occurred after 6–12 months, consult a doctor.
Does Progesterone Affect OvulaRing?
Yes. Progesterone raises body temperature and, if taken too early, can prevent ovulation.
✔️ Start progesterone only after at least 3 days of consistently high temperatures.
✔️ If unsure, contact our customer service for ovulation guidance.
Does Clomiphene (Clomid) Affect OvulaRing?
Yes. Clomiphene stimulates follicle maturation and can trigger ovulation.
✔️ OvulaRing helps monitor whether Clomid successfully induced ovulation.
✔️ Clomid cycles differ from natural cycles, which may impact ovulation predictions.
✔️ Our customer service team can assist with cycle tracking.
