The test kit

How do menopause test kits work?

Most at-home hormone testing devices work by analyzing urine, similar to ovulation or pregnancy tests. Ovul relies on a small saliva sample — allowing you to effortlessly test multiple times per day. Ovul does not require any additional test strips or consumables.

Split — open the device

Open the device and wait for the indicator light to flash once.

Drop — apply a saliva sample

Place a drop of saliva onto the analyzer slide.

Check — AI results in app

Close the device to start the analysis. Your results will be sent to the Ovul App.

The procedure takes a few minutes. To ensure the most accurate results, it is recommended to do a test prior to eating or drinking or wait a minimum of 20 minutes after. You want the saliva to be free of contaminants.

Until recently, determining the stage of menopause required multiple blood draws. Now, thanks to modern technology and a simple questionnaire, you can do it right at home.

The Menopause Stage Indicator test is two-fold. One part is based on the analysis of certain hormone levels, in particular estrogen, which plays a key role in the menstrual cycle and changes depending on the different menopause stages. The second is based on a Climacteric Scale health questionnaire.

The Ovul kit includes a saliva testing device + app, detailed instructions, and access to the in-app menopause stage calculator. The in-app on-boarding questionnaire will help Ovul determine your current physical state. The Ovul device and App will help you monitor your dynamic, daily estrogen trends.

*The test is not recommended for women using hormonal contraceptives or with hormonal disorders, as the results may be distorted.

5 stages of menopause

Menopause is not a sign of old age. It is the beginning of a mature journey with new opportunities and priorities. You should understand what are the 5 stages of menopause to better navigate the changes you are experiencing and maintain your health.

Stage 1: Perimenopause

The first signs of hormonal changes usually appear before the age of 45, sometimes after the age of 38. The main menopause indicators include:
  • irregular cycle;
  • spotting between periods;
  • pain in the breasts;
  • hot flashes;
  • increased sweating;
  • insomnia;
  • more frequent calf cramps;
  • problems with urination;
  • dry mucous membranes;
  • more frequent headaches;
  • sexual dysfunction;
  • unexplained weight gain.
This time requires simple but effective lifestyle changes. Regular physical activity (walking, simple exercises) will help maintain hormonal balance. Learn to manage your emotional state: a walk in the fresh air before bed, a warm bath, your favorite book, or meditation will help you relax. And of course, it is important to get a good night's sleep.

Stage 2: Early Menopause Transition

The first stage of perimenopause is when a woman's cycle is still regular, but changes in mood, sleep, or overall well-being begin to appear. These are signs that hormones are starting to change. Other symptoms may also be observed:
  • hot flashes may occur for several days (especially before or during menstruation) when estrogen levels drop;
  • slight weight gain associated with hormonal changes;
  • insomnia, interrupted sleep, especially in the case of nighttime hot flashes.
This is a natural stage. If symptoms are mild, it is enough to sleep a little more, take time for yourself, and be more active. If you feel uncomfortable, it is best to consult a specialist.

Stage 3: Late Menopause Transition

The period that brings you closer to menopause. The probability of irregular menstruation and cycle disorders increases. During perimenopause, ovulation no longer occurs regularly. Hormones begin to behave unpredictably. Sometimes menstruation may disappear altogether and then return with heavy bleeding, as the lining of the uterus thickens under the influence of estrogen during this time. Closer to the age of the menopausal stage, the pauses between cycles become longer and longer. Menstruation may not occur for several months. Feelings of anxiety and irritability arise.

The duration of perimenopause varies from 2 to 8 years. In most women, it lasts about four years.

Stage 4: Menopause

Official menopause occurs when menstruation has been absent for 12 consecutive months (excluding pathological and pharmacological causes). The ovaries practically cease to produce hormones. From this point on, a woman enters a permanent state in which ovulation ceases and the ability to conceive is lost. The symptoms of menopause can last from 7 to 10 years, although this period is individual for each woman. The intensity ranges from mild to severe. In the first case, dietary adjustments and simple physical activity can help.

In severe cases, it is necessary to consult a doctor. A specialist will draw up a stages of menopause chart, help you choose effective support, and rule out other possible causes of poor health.

Stage 5: Postmenopause

With the onset of menopause, a new chapter in your life begins — postmenopause. It lasts for the rest of your life. It is accompanied by a steady decline in estrogen levels, which increases health risks. There are plenty of reasons to pay attention to yourself:
  • Heart and blood vessels. Estrogen used to protect them. When its levels decrease, the risk of cardiovascular disease increases.
  • Bones. The loss of estrogen is one of the causes of bone density loss, which can lead to osteoporosis and increased fragility.
  • The genitourinary system. The vaginal mucosa becomes thinner. This can cause pain during intercourse, dryness, and infections.
  • Mood swings. Hormonal fluctuations contribute to the development of anxiety, depression, and emotional instability.
The stages of menopause are inevitable, but that's no reason to be upset. If your symptoms are causing you concern, don't hesitate to seek help. A specialist will select possible treatment options based on your characteristics.
