Oura Ring Adds Birth Control Support to Period Tracker: What It Means for You

Oura Ring Now Tracks Birth Control: A Game-Changer for Women's Health

Oura has officially added birth control support to its popular period tracker. This new feature helps women using hormonal birth control understand how their cycle changes affect their health data. If you own an Oura Ring, you can now track your period and log birth control use in one place.

Why Birth Control Support Matters

Many women on birth control experience changes in their sleep, body temperature, and heart rate. Oura's update uses this data to give you better insights. For example, birth control pills can raise your body temperature. Oura's tracker now accounts for this, so your cycle predictions stay accurate.

• Track your cycle while on birth control
• Get personalized health insights
• Understand how hormones affect your sleep and activity

How the New Feature Works

Oura's period tracker already monitors your menstrual cycle. Now, you can log your birth control method, like pills, patches, or IUDs. The app then adjusts your fertility window and cycle predictions. This makes it easier to understand your body, even if you don't have a natural cycle.

Key Benefits of the Update

• More accurate cycle tracking for birth control users
• Better understanding of sleep and temperature changes
• Simplified health management in one app

To use this feature, open the Oura app, go to the period tracker, and select 'Add birth control.' Choose your method and follow the prompts. Your data will update automatically.

Tips for Getting the Most Out of Oura's Birth Control Support

First, wear your Oura Ring consistently to get accurate temperature and heart rate data. Second, log your birth control use daily for the best predictions. Third, review your health trends weekly to see how your cycle affects your sleep and readiness score.

This update is part of Oura's effort to improve women's health tracking. It's available now on the Oura app for all Gen 3 and Gen 4 ring users.
