Welcome to Ovia!
By now, you’ve chosen postpartum as your goal. If you ever need to change your goal, head to your profile (under the “More” menu) and toggle to the one that’s the best fit for you.
Ovia offers postpartum, tracking your cycle, trying to conceive, and managing menopause goals.
Here are some tips to help you get started as you familiarize yourself with your Ovia app:
Log your symptoms and other data
Entering your data into Ovia does more than just mark it on a calendar: it tells the story of your health. Ovia uses the data you log to track your recovery, get personalized feedback, and deliver relevant tips and content to your timeline.
You can log your recovery symptoms, mood, sleep, activity, nutrition, and more in Ovia.
You also have the option to track your cycle in the postpartum goal. When your cycle returns, you can update your cycle information in your profile (under the “More” menu).
Tracking your data enables Ovia to alert you of any potentially concerning symptoms. This can help you determine when you need to reach out to a healthcare provider and catch health issues early!
To log some data, click on the “+” icon at the top of your timeline to enter each day’s info. If you forget, you can always go back to your calendar to add data. You can even customize the tracking categories on your data log page by tapping the “Settings” icon.
Use the timeline to see personalized content
Get to know Ovia by exploring your timeline every day! You’ll see a selection of articles, tips, fun facts, and information based on the data you log. Your timeline is completely personalized to you and based on your current postpartum phase, health profile, and data entries.
You can also find hundreds of articles under the “More” menu. Browse through the relevant categories to learn something new. Ovia articles are written and reviewed by experts, and you can always find the sources referenced at the bottom of the article.
Postpartum articles can help you learn more about everything postpartum, from vaginal delivery and C-section recovery to relationship transitions, what to expect each week, and everything in-between.
Explore your community and ask questions
Tap on the bubble icon in your bottom bar menu to open Community. This is a place for you to ask and answer questions anonymously with other Ovia members in a safe, supportive environment.
To get the most relevant answers, target your questions to specific groups of people. For example, you could send your question about postpartum diastasis recti only with other members who are around your age and have kids.
Now that you’ve read most of your Ovia guide, take a look in the “More” menu to see all the other resources and tools available in your Ovia app (postpartum to-dos, health charts, a daily self-care checklist, your profile, and more).
If you haven’t already, take the health assessment to unlock new content and features.
