Information from the OvuFriend application will help you to detect such health problems as:
- Hormonal disorders that result in deviations in the menstrual cycle - e.g. irregular cycles, too long or too short cycles, incorrect length of menstrual bleeding,
- No ovulation or temporary problems with ovulation (anovulatory cycles) - it is normal that from time to time every woman has cycles where no ovulation occurs (so-called anovulatory cycles). In case of a fully healthy woman, on average, there are about two such anovulatory cycles per year; there should be no more. If track your cycles in the OvuFriend application and the system does not determine your ovulation cycles, it is worth consulting a specialist who will probably have the cycle monitoring carried out by a gynecologist.
- Late ovulation - it happens that ovulation occurs very late in your menstrual cycle. If this happens in your case, and your cycles are prolonged, it is worth consulting your doctor.
- Luteal phase disorder (short luteal phase) - occurs when the second phase of your menstrual cycle (from ovulation to the next period) is too short. The average luteal phase lasts from 10-16 days. If your second phase of the cycle is shorter and you are trying to get pregnant, it can make it difficult for the fertilized egg to implant into the uterus.
- Endometriosis - your menstrual cycles may have symptoms that may indicate endometriosis, such as heavy, painful periods, pain during intercourse or abdominal pain accompanying different phases of your menstrual cycle.
- PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) - a hormonal disorder common among women of reproductive age. It results in irregular periods or no periods at all, difficulty getting pregnant as a result of irregular ovulation or failure to ovulate, excessive hair growth (hirsutism) or weight gain.
- Thyroid diseases - hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism. Thyroid diseases can affect your menstrual cycle. In combination with symptom analysis you can detect a deviation in your thyroid gland at an early stage. Thyroid diseases impair fertility and can even lead to miscarriages.
- Low levels of progesterone - low levels of progesterone in the second phase of the cycle may indicate lower temperatures from ovulation to the next menstruation. By measuring your body basal temperature every day and observing your fertility, you are able to catch problems with low levels of progesterone. Interpretations of the temperature level can be found in the OvuFriend Fertility and Health Analyses, the system will notify you if it detects any abnormalities.
Other abnormalities in menstrual cycles, such as recurring pain or spotting. See the section "Consult your doctor" in the application and check if you have any parameters that are worth consulting with a specialist.
Remember, although we use the most advanced machine learning algorithms and the latest expert knowledge to interpret your fertility and menstrual cycles, OvuFriend is not a diagnostic and medical tool and under no circumstances can it replace medical consultation and reliable medical diagnosis! OvuFriend is only supposed to help you to take care of your health at home, achieve your goal (e.g. get pregnant), or help you to catch at an early stage possible problems that you wouldn't be able to detect before a long time without your proper attention and awareness, and our analysis.
