Meet Oova: the hormone translator that quantitatively measures luteinizing hormone (LH), E3G (an estrogen metabolite), and PdG (a progesterone metabolite) through an at-home urine test. Oova’s Hormone Kit tracks, predicts, and confirms ovulation with precision whether you are trying to conceive, navigating perimenopause, or mapping your cycle. Lab accuracy in your home: Oova was designed in partnership with Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City to build a tool that doctors and patients can feel confident using. Scientists, engineers, and doctors designed Oova to be the most medically trusted at-home hormone test. Completely personalized experience: Oova measures your hormone levels quantitatively to provide valuable insights, rather than comparing your data to some standard threshold or the “perfect" 28-day cycle. Oova learns what your personal cycle trends are and detects your fertile window from there. Our algorithm tells you exactly which days to test, so not a cent, day, or pee, is wasted! Track as little or as much as you want: Customize data logging to track what’s most relevant to you. You can choose from a variety of categories including mood, exercise, cervical mucus, symptoms, and medications. All of this information (paired with your hormone levels) allows Oova to get smarter and learn your unique hormone baseline. Use Oova with your healthcare provider: Oova allows doctors and clinicians to provide unprecedented remote care. If you’re working with a doctor, your provider will be able to see your data in our HIPAA-compliant dashboard, as soon as you scan your Oova strip. You no longer have to worry about what your doctor wants or needs to know. Oova takes care of that for you. How it works: Register in the app and activate your Oova Hormone Kit. On a testing day, provide a urine sample on the test strip (either midstream or by dipping it into a cup), and scan the strip with the camera on your smartphone. Our algorithm will analyze your strip to calculate how much luteinizing hormone, PdG, and E3G is present. Within minutes, you’ll know exactly where you are in your cycle and be provided with resources to help guide your journey.
