Setting Up Floriva for Fertility and Ovulation Tracking

BBT, cervical mucus, and ovulation symptoms form a complete fertility picture. Floriva keeps all of it on-device, no account, no server sync.

Fertility Tracking Basics: What the Methods Do Fertility awareness tracking uses biological signs to identify the fertile window in a menstrual cycle. Three primary signs are used: Basal body temperature (BBT): Your resting temperature rises slightly after ovulation due to progesterone. Charting this rise confirms that ovulation has occurred. It cannot predict ovulation in advance, only confirm it after the fact. Over several cycles, the pattern of when your temperature shifts tells you when to expect ovulation. Cervical mucus: Estrogen rising before ovulation changes cervical mucus from absent or sticky to clear and stretchy. This mucus is the biological medium sperm need to survive and reach the egg. The presence of egg white mucus indicates the fertile window is open. Ovulation predictor kits: OPKs detect the LH hormone surge that triggers ovulation, typically 12 36 hours before the egg is released. A positive OPK means ovulation is imminent. Combined with BBT confirmation, it gives you both a leading indicator (LH surge) and a trailing confirmation (temperature shift). Used together, these three signs give a much more complete picture than calendar based fertile window estimate
