Wearable technology is a category of electronic devices that are best viewed as jewelry, but also smart wearables that track BBT, ovulation cycles, heart rate, and other body metrics in real-time. Given the extreme growth of the wearable technology market in the last few years, it wasn't surprising to see the emergence of a smart ring. As a woman, I'm happy to see the emergence and popularity of smart ring for women, but there are still very few smart rings made specifically for women on the market. And women seem to be accustomed to the generic functionality of products in general, ignoring the need for products that are considered fine-tuned for women.
Research on Infertility
Giving birth and raising a baby is always a natural part of starting a family, and being joyful. However, with 49.76% of the global female population in 2024, and the average age of women giving birth worldwide at 32 years old, for them, the process of trying to conceive is fraught with challenges, and emotional suffering. The fact is, The reality of infertility can be a difficult and lonely experience, but it is a journey shared by millions of couples and families around the world. With the grief feeling that accompanies every failed conception, infertility seems to be every couple's nightmare. So what causes infertility?

A survey from NLM randomly selected 120 couples who came for infertility treatment as sampling, the study subjects were aged 19-49 years and included couples who had been married for over 1 year, cohabiting, and women who were not using contraceptives due to primary or secondary infertility. All the data were collected by oral interview, examination, and review of records. The results indicated that male factors caused infertility accounted for 33.33%, and in the female factors, PCOS reaches 46%, becoming the largest factor in infertility PCOS, and then is the tubal factors, which account for 33.8%.
1. Technical Solutions for Infertility
From ovulation induction and intrauterine insemination (IUI) to in vitro fertilization (IVF) and assisted reproductive technologies (ART), the process of trying to conceive can be physically demanding, financially draining, and emotionally exhausting.
However, not all infertility is primary and irreversible. As long as women pay attention to their reproductive health in advance, both PCOS and tubal factors can be avoided in early time. Women need to focus on their reproductive health, whether it's for successful conception or contraception, and take control of the uterus's health. Raising the awareness of using an ovulation tracker daily, is what women need to do first. Convention smart watches become the first choice of most women, but they are inconvenient, nor do they focus on analyzing indicators of female ovulation. If the occurrence of PCOs, the biggest factor causing female infertility, can be solved or avoided in advance, it means that successful pregnancy is not nonsense.
2. Ways to Boost Natural Fertility
Healthline, the official website that provides trust-able medical information and health advice published an article that navigated women to boost fertility in 16 natural ways. Changing your lifestyle may be the first step.
2.1 Aim for a Healthy Weight
Weight is one of the most important factors affecting fertility in both men and women. This is because the amount of fat stored in the body can affect menstrual function. Maintaining a healthy weight improves lh hormone regulation and increases the possibility of ovulation.
2.2 Avoid Caffeine & Alcohol
There are no definitive research findings at this time that caffeine affects a woman's uterine health and fertility. But to be on the safe side, I recommend women try these caffeine-free options. On top of that, smoking and excessive alcohol consumption are associated with plummeting fertility in both men and women. Quitting smoking and moderating alcohol consumption can boost fertility by enhancing reproductive health. Studies by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine have shown that quitting smoking and drinking can increase fertility by up to 50%.
2.3 Limit Crabs & Trans Fats
It is not only the amount of carbohydrates that matters, but also the type. Refined carbohydrates are quickly absorbed by the body, which in turn causes blood sugar and insulin levels to spike. Insulin is chemically similar to ovarian hormones. These hormones help our eggs mature. Consistently elevated insulin causes the body to produce fewer reproductive hormones because if you are a woman with PCOS, control your intake of refined carbohydrates. Similarly, trans fats, which negatively affect insulin sensitivity, are commonly found in margarine, fried foods, processed products, and baked goods. As we know, these are our favorites. It's important to maintain a healthy diet.
2.4 Make Ovulation Tracking a Daily Habit
Understanding your menstrual cycle and pinpointing ovulation can significantly increase the chances of conception. Tracking ovulation allows couples to time intercourse accurately during the most fertile days of the cycle. Using Femometer Smart ring you can effortlessly track your BBT without even taking your temperature. (The ring tracks your BBT overnight and syncs when you open the app in the morning; You can chart your ovulation and fertile window without lifting a finger ;)
