New Hormonal Birth Control Support

Oura is launching a new reproductive‑health feature that takes hormonal contraception into consideration when tracking period cycles. The smart‑ring maker describes the Hormonal Birth Control update as a “first‑of‑its‑kind experience” within Oura’s existing Cycle Insights feature, allowing users to see how more than 20 combinations of hormonal birth‑control methods—including pills, patches, IUDs, and implants—can affect their overall biometric data.

The feature will begin rolling out globally on May 6. It is designed to show the impact that hormonal contraception may have on:

• Temperature patterns
• Sleep quality
• Recovery metrics

By incorporating this information, users can better understand how their chosen birth‑control method interacts with their physiological signals.
