The ovulation calculator Daysy is fast, user-friendly, and highly accurate!

Tired of complicated methods to track your fertile days and ovulation in your menstrual cycle? Daysy is the perfect solution! This intelligent ovulation calculator uses your basal body temperature to precisely determine your fertile and infertile phases. Backed by decades of research and a sophisticated algorithm, Daysy makes understanding your fertility effortless.

How Daysy works as your ovulation calculator

Every morning, right after waking (before getting out of bed):

  • Activate Daysy with a button press.
  • Place the sensitive sensor under your tongue for about 60 seconds.
  • Daysy beeps to confirm the measurement and instantly shows your fertility status:
    • Red light: Fertile or possibly fertile (including your ovulation day, indicated by flashing red).
    • Green light: Not fertile.
    • Yellow: learning phase/cycle fluctuation

It's that simple, no apps required for daily use, though the free DaysyDay app lets you view detailed cycle history and statistics.

The science behind Daysy's ovulation calculation

Daysy relies on the natural changes in your basal body temperature (BBT) during the menstrual cycle. After ovulation, progesterone causes a slight rise in BBT (typically 0.25–0.5°C = 0.45 to 0.9 degrees Fahrenheit), which remains elevated until your next period.

Daysy’s advanced algorithm, developed from millions of cycles and over 40 years of research, detects this temperature shift to accurately identify your ovulation day, fertile window (up to five days before ovulation plus the day of ovulation itself), and infertile phases.

Know your ovulation days for family planning

With Daysy, you can confidently identify your most fertile days to optimize conception chances. You're only fertile for about 6 days per cycle, making precise ovulation tracking essential for trying to conceive.

Daysy and the free DaysyDay app help you understand your body naturally 100% hormone-free, with no side effects.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best way to measure?

For optimal use of Daysy, we recommend that you should have slept sufficiently (at least one hour) before the measurement. It is important that you take your temperature immediately after waking up, before getting up and becoming active. Measure below your tongue, with your mouth closed, and keep the device steady while it is measuring. Video Tutorial

Do I have to measure at the same time every day?

No. You should have at least one hour of good quality sleep before the measurement. It is important that you take your temperature immediately after waking up, before getting up and becoming active. For optimal use of Daysy, try to get at least 3 or more hours of sleep before measuring. Less sleep can result in more temperature fluctuations causing Daysy to give more fertile or potentially fertile days.

How do I enter or edit menstruation?

You can confirm or remove menstruation at any time during the current day. Simply press the button to turn on your Daysy, and then press and hold the activation button until the violet light lights up without flashing and you hear a "beep." Confirm you are menstruating for each day of active bleeding and for a minimum of three consecutive days. You can also remove menstruation data for the same day by turning Daysy on and pressing and holding the activation button until the purple/blue light is no longer solidly lit and begins flashing again.

Video Tutorial

How long until Daysy knows my personal cycle?

The first 2-4 cycles of use are considered Daysy's learning phase. Over the course of her learning phase, Daysy will come to understand your cycle and begin narrowing down your fertile window. Daysy remains quite cautious and conservative during this time, which is why Daysy is accurate starting the very first day.

When can I start to rely on Daysy's results?

You can rely on Daysy's results starting the very first day of use. In the beginning, you will see more yellow and red days because Daysy is still learning your unique cycle. You will see more green days as Daysy comes to understand your cycle and can narrow down your fertile window. The more regularly you measure, the better.

My cycle is irregular. Can I still use the devices?

Yes. Irregular cycles are not a problem for Daysy/Lady-Comp. Even with irregular cycles, all Valley devices distinguish between non-fertile and fertile days with a very high accuracy. However, in case of extreme fluctuations between cycles it will give you more red and yellow lights and less green lights. Fluctuations of several days are usually not a problem. If you have questions about your unique cycle, please reach out to our team of experts.

Are there any costs associated with the DaysyDay app?

No! DaysyDay is free! There are no in-app purchases or upgrade fees.

Does illness reduce the reliability of the device?

In general, you should skip measurements during illness and while you are taking medication that can have an influence on your body temperature or cycle. If you have doubts, contact your doctor or our customer service team.
