About this trial
The Quantum Menstrual Health Monitoring Study will measure four key reproductive hormones in the urine to characterize patterns that predict and confirm ovulation, referenced to serum hormones and the gold-standard of the ultrasound day of ovulation in participants with regular cycles. These normal cycles will provide a reference for comparison to irregular cycles in polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and athletes. Clinical signs in the menstrual cycle (e.g. menstrual bleeding, temperature) as well as vital sign and sleep patterns will also be referenced to hormonal changes.
