Determining ovulation in women with long cycles

Ovulation occurs even during long cycles

Even very long cycles are generally healthy and involve ovulation. However, with long cycles, it is somewhat more difficult to determine the exact day of ovulation. The old Faust formula, which states that ovulation should occur in the middle of the cycle, does not apply here at all! Instead, ovulation typically occurs after the 20th day of the cycle, and in some cases even much later.

Even with extremely long cycles, OvulaRing shows you whether you’re ovulating and, if so, when it’s happening.

What causes long cycles?

For women with long cycles, the first phase of the cycle is often prolonged. This means that the egg maturation or follicular phase is significantly longer than the luteal phase. Nevertheless, 70% of all women with very long cycles still ovulate and have fertile days. So, in principle, you can still get pregnant with a long cycle. For the remaining 30%, the cycles either lack ovulation entirely (monophasic) or involve luteal phase or progesterone deficiency. In the latter case, the second half of the cycle is shorter than 10 days. In this situation, insufficient progesterone is released, and pregnancy cannot occur.

With OvulaRing, you can determine exactly whether you’re ovulating even if you have long cycles. OvulaRing tells you whether ovulation is occurring during your cycles. This also helps you determine whether you have a progesterone deficiency, for example.

OvulaRing helps you accurately identify your fertile days

OvulaRing detects ovulation with over 99% accuracy. Finally, get clarity on whether you ovulate regularly and, if so, when. OvulaRing automatically and completely tracks your cycle without you even noticing. This makes it possible to detect even the slightest fluctuations.

OvulaRing has been tested in independent clinical studies for all cycle types. Even with very long cycles, it provides you with accurate information about your fertile days and your cycle health.

How OvulaRing Works

1. Wear the OvulaRing

Once your period has ended, OvulaRing is inserted into the vagina like a tampon. Regardless of external factors, it automatically records your temperature inside your body. A reading is taken every 5 minutes, allowing your individual fertility patterns to be identified.

2. Transfer data

The recorded data is easily transferred using the OvulaRing app. The app also displays an analysis of your cycles. You can keep a cycle diary and receive important information. The security of your data is our top priority.

2. Evaluate the cycle

The app uses medical algorithms to analyze your cycle. In addition to cycle length, ovulation day, and the duration of each phase of your cycle, it also provides medical insights. It offers a daily updated probability of conception as well as an ovulation forecast for the following month.
