When setting up your Oova account, you’ll choose a health journey based on your current goals and health needs. Your selected journey personalizes your hormone insights, tracking experience, and educational content. Available journeys include:
- Trying to Conceive (TTC)
- Perimenopause
- Hormone Optimization
There’s no wrong choice, and you can switch journeys at any time. For guidance on changing this in the app, visit: How do I change my health journey?
Every journey provides the same core technological foundation: at-home, urine-based testing that measures three key reproductive hormones: progesterone (PdG), estrogen (E3G) and luteinizing hormone (LH) - with lab-grade precision. Here is a breakdown of who each journey is meant to support, and which one is best for you.
Trying to Conceive
Who it supports: This journey is designed for individuals who want to better understand and track ovulation and fertility patterns, whether they are trying to conceive, trying to avoid pregnancy naturally, preparing for future fertility goals, or monitoring cycles during fertility treatment.
It supports people with regular, irregular, or fluctuating cycles, including those using timed intercourse, insemination, ovulation-induction medications, or provider-guided fertility care.
If you’re working with a fertility clinic or healthcare provider, Oova can also support provider-guided monitoring through Oova360, our clinician dashboard.
Why choose this journey: Choose this journey if your goal is understanding your fertile window, ovulation timing, and cycle patterns in greater detail.
This journey helps track hormone patterns associated with fertility, ovulation, and cycle timing so you can make informed decisions about conception planning, fertility awareness, or reproductive health monitoring.
Perimenopause
Who it supports: This journey supports individuals who may be entering or experiencing perimenopause, typically during their forties or fifties, though symptoms and hormonal changes can begin earlier.
It is designed for those navigating changing cycles, new physical or emotional symptoms, or shifting hormone patterns during the menopausal transition. It may also support individuals who are exploring lifestyle changes, working with a healthcare provider, or monitoring hormone patterns while using hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or other treatments.
Why choose this journey: Choose this journey if you are experiencing changing cycle patterns or symptoms commonly associated with perimenopause, such as migraines, anxiety, sleep disturbances, mood changes, night sweats, brain fog, hot flashes or Irregular or unpredictable periods.This journey tracks hormone fluctuations over time to provide personalized insights into your reproductive stage and cycle changes, even when your periods become irregular or unpredictable.
Hormone Optimization
Who it supports: This journey supports individuals who want to better understand how hormone patterns may relate to their symptoms, cycle experiences, and overall wellbeing. It may be helpful for those:
- Experiencing irregular cycles
- Tracking symptomatic but seemingly "normal" cycles
- Looking for deeper insight into recurring physical or emotional symptoms across the cycle
- Adjusting after stopping hormonal birth control
- Navigating conditions like PCOS
Why choose this journey: Choose this journey if you are experiencing symptoms such as fatigue, mood changes, brain fog, low energy, cycle-related discomfort, or unexplained shifts in how you feel and want to better understand whether hormone fluctuations may be contributing. This journey combines hormone tracking with symptom logging to help identify patterns over time and provide a more personalized view of your cycle and hormone experience.
