How Accurate Is Daysy? The Science & Studies

Your cycle, your choice

Your fertility isn’t a guessing game

Getting to know your cycle can feel overwhelming at first. Without the right tools, it's hard to know where you are in your cycle and when you're fertile.

We created these devices to give women everywhere a hormone-free, science-backed way to understand their cycle and see their fertile and non-fertile days.

So you can use your basal body temperature (BBT) to track your cycle and fertility with confidence, powered by one of the most accurate fertility-tracking methods available today.

BBT IS THE MOST ACCURATE Method

How to track your cycle with basal body temperature

Basal Body Temperature (BBT) reflects your body's lowest resting temperature and is a key indicator of ovulation. Knowing these temperature shifts is the foundation of accurate ovulation tracking.

Typical BBT patterns:

Before ovulation (follicular phase): BBT is steady around 97.7ºF.
After ovulation: Rising progesterone causes a 0.4º–0.81ºF increase, staying elevated for 12–16 days.
If not pregnant: BBT drops with progesterone.
If pregnant: BBT stays elevated beyond 18 days.

Because changes are subtle, a high measurement accuracy (to two decimal places) is essential. Standard wearables and basic thermometers simply aren’t precise enough.

BBT is the most accurate natural ovulation tracking method next to ultrasound.

RELIABLE PREDICTIONS

Get daily predictions you can count on

After just 60 seconds of measuring your temperature, Daysy and Lady-Comp display your fertility status with a red (fertile) or green (not fertile) light. Yellow means that the device is learning about your cycle or there is more information needed and should be treated as fertile days.

Using your measurement data, the algorithm performs advanced statistical analyses to reliably predict your fertile window, or the 6 days per cycle when pregnancy is possible.
You’ll see this as red and green days on your Daysy, in your DaysyDay app or on the Lady-Comp display.
Even if you have an irregular sleep schedule, or the occasional higher temperature due to stress or travel, you can always rely on your device to give an accurate fertility prediction.

3 ways our devices ensure accuracy

Clinically validated algorithm based on millions of real cycles

Easy-to-use, medical-grade device that eliminates human error

Highly sensitive sensor with measurement precision up to 0.05°C (0,09°F)

Not all cycle trackers are created equal

Here’s what sets our devices apart

All-in-one fertility tracker

Other cycle trackers require a separate thermometer and app, which can lead to inaccuracies from thermometer calibration or manual transfer of data.

Valley devices take your temperature, store your data, and reliably calculate your fertility status in a single device.

The most sensitive sensor on the market

Unlike other basal body thermometers, ours record only your real - not extrapolated - temperature value to provide the most accurate reading.

If cold air enters your mouth during the measurement, the thermometer waits for your temp to stabilize, providing a reading to the 100th of a degree.

Registered medical device

Not every fertility tracker meets the standards for medical devices, which are subject to quality management and frequent regulatory inspections.

Medical Evaluation

The high measurement accuracy of the temperature sensors and the precise algorithm of the temperature calculation provide a high degree in method safety, which clearly stands out from competitive devices.

KEY SCIENTIFIC FINDINGS

Supported by decades of independent clinical research

99.4% accurate

In an analysis of 107,020 cycles from 5,328 women, scientists confirmed that Valley's algorithm identifies the non-fertile (green) days with 99.4% accuracy.

Detect ovulation with clinical reliability

In an early independent observation presented at the International Meeting on Infertility and Assisted Reproductive Technology (Dessole et al., 1997), a device from the same algorithm family as Daysy and Lady-Comp (Baby-Comp) showed ovulation results comparable to ultrasound, urinary LH and serum progesterone

4.5 months average to conceive

Among users who used the device to plan a pregnancy, 81% (81 of 100 couples) conceived, on average within 4.5 months, some already in the first cycle.

Pregnancy Planning

Hormone-free option

Demiańczyk & Michaluk (2016; 17,322 cycles) concluded that cycle computers are particularly suitable for women who cannot or prefer not to use hormonal methods.
