The Fertility Awareness Power Duo
Are you trying to conceive, practice natural birth control, or simply want better body literacy? Accurately pinpointing ovulation and tracking your menstrual cycle can be a game-changer - but it's not always easy. We've all experienced the frustration of missed temperature readings or being left uncertain about whether we actually ovulated that cycle.
As a naturopathic doctor, I always encourage my patients to get in tune with their body's natural cycles through fertility awareness methods (FAMs) like basal body temperature charting and ovulation testing. Not only do these methods help maximize conception chances, but they also enable hormone-free birth control and provide valuable insights about your overall reproductive health.
I'm so excited to share two innovative products that are revolutionizing the ovulation tracking space and taking the guesswork out of fertility awareness: TempDrop and OOVA.
In this article, I will talk about:
What is TempDrop?
TempDrop is a revolutionary wearable device that continuously monitors your precise basal body temperature all night long. Simply sync it each morning, and it seamlessly provides your temperature data without any missed readings or middle-of-the-night wakings to disrupt sleep. Kiss those irregular temperatures goodbye!
Basal body temperature charting is a key fertility awareness technique that tracks your body's temperature shifts throughout the menstrual cycle. After ovulation, higher levels of progesterone cause a slight temperature rise that can indicate when you ovulated. However, traditional oral temping is prone to many inaccuracies.
With TempDrop's unparalleled temperature regulation and sensitive sensors, you can finally have confidence in your temperature data and the insights it provides about your cycle.
What is OOVA?
OOVA offers convenient, FDA-cleared at-home test kits that allow you to chart your actual reproductive hormone levels like luteinizing hormone (LH) and progesterone metabolites. By tracking these biomarkers, you can predict ovulation before it occurs and then confirm it happened after the fact.
Their user-friendly app analyzes your unique hormone curves and proprietary algorithms to pinpoint your fertile window and accurately detect ovulation each cycle. You simply test with OOVA's urine strips and scan the results. The ultimate advantage is linking your account to that of your practitioner's. This is an invaluable tool if you are seeking hormonal help from your doctor because she can interpret your results in real-time rather than having to wait for lab results to come in weeks later.

The Power Fertility Awareness Duo
While temperature charting and ovulation tests both have value as standalone FAMs, combining the two data streams with TempDrop and OOVA gives you incredibly accurate and robust cycle insights that cover all your bases.
When continuous temperature monitoring syncs up with hormone testing, you unlock an insightful window into your fertile periods and overall cycle health month after month.
Just imagine the advantages:
Maximize your chances of conception by confidently identifying your fertile window
Avoid unprotected sex on fertile days for natural birth control
Detect anovulatory cycles or potential hormone imbalances like PCOS
Plan for upcoming cycles reliably based on your personal data
Better understand your body's patterns and rhythms
How to Use TempDrop and OOVA
Using these two powerful tools is simple and can seamlessly fit into your daily routine:
Wear TempDrop overnight each night to collect your temperature data
In the morning, open the TempDrop app to sync and record your precise basal body temperature
On specified cycle days, use an OOVA test strip to read your LH and progesterone levels
Open the OOVA app to scan your test strip - it will chart your hormone curves and sync your results to your doctor's portal
Let the apps' algorithms analyze and interpret your combined data
Follow your customized fertility predictions and insights!
Whether you're trying to get pregnant, want hormone-free birth control, are monitoring ovulatory issues, or simply desire a deeper understanding of your menstrual cycles, the TempDrop and OOVA power duo provides invaluable insights about your fertility.
