One of the tools I love recommending to clients is Oova, an at-home hormone monitoring platform that makes it easier to understand how your hormones change over time and how those changes may relate to the way you feel.
Using a simple at-home urine test, Oova measures key reproductive hormones across multiple days and lets you track symptoms alongside your results. This offers a fuller view of your hormone patterns and helpful context for cycle changes, perimenopause, or general hormone health.
With your permission, your results can also be shared with me or your other healthcare providers, supporting more informed, personalized conversations about your health.
Common Questions About Oova
Who is Oova for?
Oova is designed for anyone who wants to understand their reproductive hormones more clearly, whether you’re trying to conceive, navigating perimenopause, or simply curious about what’s driving your cycle-related symptoms.
How does Oova work?
You use a simple at-home urine test across several days of your cycle. The results are analyzed in the app so you can see how your key hormones are moving and what patterns show up alongside your symptoms.
Which hormones does Oova track?
Oova measures three key hormones through their urinary metabolites: luteinizing hormone (LH), estrogen (as E3G), and progesterone (as PdG). Here’s what each one tells you:
LH rises in the days leading up to ovulation and helps trigger the release of an egg. If you’re trying to conceive, seeing when it starts rising and when it peaks can help you time your most fertile days.
Estrogen (E3G) helps trigger the LH surge, prepares the uterus for a possible pregnancy, and keeps your cycle regular. It naturally fluctuates and declines as you move through perimenopause and menopause.
Progesterone (PdG) rises after an egg is released and stays low if ovulation doesn’t happen, so tracking it is a helpful way to confirm whether you actually ovulated during a given cycle, especially if you’re trying to conceive.
What makes this useful is that Oova measures the actual concentration of each hormone rather than giving a simple yes-or-no result. Over time, it learns your unique baseline and can flag meaningful shifts against it, which is especially helpful if you have irregular cycles or a suspected hormone imbalance.
Do I need to be working with a doctor to use Oova?
Not at all. Oova is designed to be used on your own, though with your permission, your results can be shared with me or another provider to support more informed conversations about your health.
