The Science Behind Daysy

Fertility tracking usually gets

explained with estimates

and assumptions

Let us introduce you to the
biological signal Daysy is built on
and why it's used.


  • The biological signal

Yes, it's time for the

science bit

Your body gives you a lot of signals across the month.

Your body gives you a lot of signals across the month.

One of the most reliable is your basal body temperature (BBT) - the temperature you have first thing in the morning before moving, eating, or drinking.

Hormones shift your temperature in a predictable way:

• Before ovulation, estrogen keeps your temperature lower
• After ovulation, progesterone raises it slightly


Daysy reads these small shifts to help you understand where you are in your cycle.


  • Temperature across a cycle

What it looks like

Before Ovulation

Lower temperatures

During Ovulation

A transition period as
hormones shift

After Ovulation

Higher temperatures

The changes are very small, often just a few tenths of a
degree, which is why Daysy is built to measure temperature
with medical-grade precision.

What's measured - and what isn't

What Daysy measures (and what it doesn't)


Daysy focuses on your morning temperature
and the pattern it forms over time.


That's enough to classify your fertile
and non-fertile days with a high level of accuracy.

What Daysy looks at:

Patterns that match your fertile or non-fertile phases

How your temperature changes across your cycle

Your personal data combined with established physiological patterns

Your waking temperature

What Daysy doesn't measure:

Hormone levels

Follicle growth

Medical conditions

Exact ovulation confirmation

The algorithm

How Daysy's algorithm works

01

Data Input

Daysy measures your basal body temperature with 0.01 °C precision, collecting accurate readings over time.

02

Pattern analysis

The algorithm analyses how your temperature changes across days, focusing on patterns rather than single readings.

03

Day classification

By identifying post-ovulatory temperature shifts, each day is classified as fertile, possibly fertile, or not fertile.

04

Clinical Validation

This approach is supported by a peer-reviewed study of 5,328 users and over 100,000 cycles, where Daysy identified non-fertile days with 99.4% accuracy

  • 99.4 % accuracy

  • Clinically validated

  • Hormone free

  • Used by over 250K women worldwide

  • 2 year warranty

  • 30-day risk-free return

How it works

60 seconds and
you're done!

Here's the simple version of how it works

01

You take a 60-second temperature reading each morning

02

Daysy updates your pattern automatically

03

It classifies your day as fertile, possibly fertile, or not fertile

04

The lights show you the result - red, yellow, or green

Over time, Daysy learns your unique
rhythm, and your results become
more personalized

  • Why temperature matters

Why temperature?

Other methods predict fertile windows by estimating based on generic averages of past cycles.

But your body isn't average.


Daysy uses what your body did this morning, not what an app thinks might happen.

This helps create a clearer, less confusing picture over time. Especially if:

  • Your cycle varies
  • You've tried apps that contradict each other
  • You want a hormone-free method
  • You prefer something simple and quick

Who Daysy is for

Who's Daysy best for?

Daysy works well when:

Your cycles are roughly 21-40 days

You can take a morning reading most days

You want a hormone-free method

You prefer a simple, repeatable routine

Daysy may be less suitable if:

Your cycles are consistently >40 days

You've been advised to seek immediate medical evaluation

Taking daily readings isn't possible

  • A simple routine

A quick check in the morning, a clearer picture over time

Understanding your cycle shouldn't take over your day.

Daysy is built to be a small, steady routine that becomes clearer with time.

Most people take their reading in under a minute, then get on with their morning.


After a couple of cycles, the "learning days" decrease and the pattern becomes clearer.
