5.5 Fertility Algorithm and Fertile Window Prediction.
The Ovia app includes a prediction of the user’s fertile window and likely day of ovulation, based on self-reported data points entered by the user that are then analyzed by statistical machine learning models that have been trained on historical data from millions of Ovia users.
We do not guarantee that these predictions will prove to be accurate in your case.

Qualifications & exceptions

  • Predictions rest on self-reported inputs, so their quality depends on the data the user entered.
