Oova provides scanning plans based on your unique cycle patterns and your health goal. Here's what you need to know about creating, adjusting, following, and ending scanning plans.
What is a scanning plan?
Oova generates scanning plans based on your cycle length and health goal. Your scanning plan will tell you when to scan, how long to scan for, and which test strips to use on each day of scanning. Oova Hormone Kits come with two types of test strips: strips that measure LH and PdG (a metabolite of progesterone) together and strips that measure just E3G (a metabolite of estrogen). We’ll let you know which strips you need depending on your scanning plan.
How to start a scanning plan
1. To start your first scanning plan, navigate to the Today Screen in your Oova App.
2. Tap the button "Start Scanning Plan" to get started.
3. You will have the option to start a new scanning plan or continue to proceed in the app to scan a single test. If you have received a sample Oova test strip or if your provider has given you a single test to try, you should select this option.
4. If you are using the Perimenopause Hormone Kit you will also be asked if you are using a Boosted Kit for this Scanning Plan. A Standard Kit includes 2 boxes of test strips: one with E3G strips, and one with PdG/LH strips. The Boosted Kit includes 4 boxes of test strips: two with E3G strips, and two with PdG/LH strips. The Standard Kit will allow you to scan for 15 consecutive days and the Boosted Kit will allow you to scan for 30 consecutive days.
5. You will be asked to select what you will be using Oova for this cycle. If you are using the Oova Fertility Kit you will see the options: Timing Intercourse, Timing Insemination, Trigger Shot Monitoring, Frozen Embryo Transfer, and Cycle Mapping. If you are using the Oova Perimenopause Kit you will see the options: Trying to conceive, Symptom tracking, Ovulation Confirmation, Cycle Mapping, and Treatment Monitoring.
NOTE: For Treatment Monitoring, Frozen Embryo Transfer, Trigger Shot Monitoring, and Timing Insemination, clinical monitoring is highly recommended.
5. After you select your health goal, Oova will generate your custom Scanning Plan based on the information you shared as well as the cycle data you shared when setting up your account.
6. To get started with your custom Scanning Plan, just tap the "START SCANNING" button. If it is a scanning day, you will be taken to the home screen to start the scanning process. If it is not yet a scanning day, we recommend starting to log your symptoms in the app. When the time comes, Oova will let you know when to start scanning your test strips.
