The combination of their app and the Oura Ring makes the process simple and tech-friendly. Additionally, this method is beneficial for those using it to track fertility and manage infertility. Even better, they are expanding their capabilities to support women throughout different life stages, with perimenopause and menopause tracking as the latest addition.
