If you have a hormonal IUD (e.g., Mirena, Kyleena, Skyla, Liletta), this may suppress ovulation and hormonal fluctuations, so you won't get a true representation of your hormones.
These devices release synthetic hormones that have the potential to suppress ovulation and flatten your natural hormone fluctuations. Because Oova is designed to detect your natural LH and progesterone patterns, your readings would not accurately reflect your true cycle.
Our clinical advisors recommend testing with Oova after 2-3 months of removing your IUD to get the best picture of what's going on. If you're looking for ovulation insights while using a hormonal IUD, Oova would not be a good fit for you at this time.
If you have a copper IUD, you can use Oova without any issues. Copper IUDs do not release hormones or suppress ovulation, so your natural hormone patterns remain intact and Oova can accurately capture them.
