Newbie here who’s been tinkering with a few of these. I’ve used Oura + Natural Cycles for cycle prediction and it was decent after 2-3 cycles of baseline, but got thrown off by travel, alcohol, and a mild fever. For anything “diagnostic,” the wearables alone felt fluffy. What actually moved the needle for conversations with my gyn were quantitative hormone tools: Mira (urine LH/E3G/PdG) and Proov PdG strips to confirm ovulation/luteal phase. With PCOS-ish cycles, the quantitative readouts helped make sense of multiple/false LH surges-still not a diagnosis, but it made the appointment more focused. For suspected endo, tracking symptoms (pain scores, cycle day, bleeding volume like PBAC) was way more useful to my doctor than temperature curves.
Practical tip: bring a 1-page summary (cycle lengths, ovulation estimates, any hormone numbers, notable symptoms, illness/meds/shift work) and your raw data export. It helps them time labs (e.g., mid‑luteal progesterone) and imaging. Also worth checking privacy policies-some apps aren’t covered by medical privacy laws.
Has anyone here tried Inne (saliva progesterone) or OvuSense (vaginal core temp) for ovulation confirmation? Curious if they felt more precise in real life.
