RE: New Generation Oura Ring
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Oh, the Oura ring! I want one so bad haha all the features and tracked parameters look really useful, especially in the case of medical conditions, as you said, and for athletes too. And they are so stylish! I read on their IG page a while ago that the Gen 3 ring could track more information about women's menstrual cycle. That sounds quite interesting as well, for overall health.
I've only had the new ring for less than a week and I'm waiting on the rest of the features that should be out late this year and early next year. If you are interested in this topic, I can do another post about the ring once I've used it longer.
Yes, I would love to know more!

The Gen2 is pretty a amazing aswell! I have that one.
But Gen3 seems like another beast :D
Yeah, I agree! I have none... yet haha. I've been reading that you can request an upgrade of your Gen 2 ring to Gen 3, are you planning on doing that?
Maybe in the future. Its still qyite expensive and I haven't manage to save up to get Gen3 yet :p
I actually already use it for cycle tracking and it's amazing! Oura put out a period prediction, which I think is quite unnecessary, but there are studies and trials going on for more. I use the temperature data from the ring and put it in my Natural Cycles app, even though it might not be adviced to do so yet. The ring does not give absolutes but it gives +/- deviation from your average, so I did some calculations of my own using the Natural Cycles data I had collected to find out my baseline. I do believe that in the near future it will all be synchronised between the apps. From my own tests for the past 6 months, the ring is more accurate than just taking your temperature in the morning, obviously since the Oura temp is an average taken once every minute while you sleep.
That's very interesting! I'll look into the Natural Cycles app. I recently stopped taking oral contraceptives after 2 consecutive years of them, so I'm looking forward to reconnecting with my body and its natural production of hormones.
Good for you, I hope you get back on track soon. The mood swings, bloating, spotting, stress of trying not to forget the pill etc are so not worth it!
Thanks! I couldn't agree more. The side effects I'd been having were pretty harsh on me. I didn't feel like myself anymore and the depression had gotten way worse. But the future looks brighter now! I intend on taking a lot more care of my nutrition, lifestyle, etc. to help my body autoregulate.
