At a glance, know if today is a Green Day (not fertile) or a Red Day (use protection).

Body temperature and the cycle

Our hormones cause body temperature to rise around ovulation. By analyzing this we can pinpoint where you are in your cycle.

A method that’s tailored to you

Not only can we confirm ovulation but we can predict it, based on your unique cycle.
