Trying to Conceive

The goal is simple: give you the clearest possible picture of your fertility, so every decision gives you the best chance of getting pregnant.

Sperm and egg
12–24hours
The real ovulation window. And it moves.

Stress, illness, PCOS, age, thyroid function; any of these can delay, advance, or suppress ovulation entirely from one cycle to the next. No app can see that. Bloom can.

to increase your chance of conceiving

Ovulation is the goal, but what leads up to it matters just as much. For women with irregular cycles, unexplained infertility, or PCOS, the picture before ovulation is where many answers are. Bloom documents all of it, every day.

01
Ovulation

The exact day you ovulate, confirmed

Ovulation is visible to Bloom. Your clinician confirms ovulation, during its short 12 - 24h window; not a hormone signal, not a prediction. For most women, this is often the first time they have known with certainty whether ovulation actually occurred that month.

02
Follicle development

Your dominant follicle, growing day by day

Each month, one follicle takes the lead and grows roughly 2mm per day. Bloom tracks its exact size as it develops, so you (and your clinician) can see whether it's developing on schedule, whether it looks mature enough to release an egg, and whether it actually ruptures.

03
Uterine lining

Whether your lining is ready for implantation

Even if ovulation happens perfectly, a fertilised egg still needs a receptive lining to implant. That means at least 7mm thick, with a specific layered texture. Bloom tracks this daily. A thin or poorly timed lining is a common and often undiagnosed reason for failed cycles, and no blood test can detect it. Only imaging can.

04
Ovarian assessment

What your ovaries actually look like

Both ovaries are assessed every day. Follicle count, distribution, and ovarian volume together give a direct picture of your reserve and how your body is responding this cycle. For women with PCOS, a high follicle count and polycystic appearance will be visible and documented. For those with lower reserve, that will show too.

05
Cycle patterns

Irregularities that explain why, identified and named

Many women trying to conceive have cycles that look regular on a calendar but are not. Late ovulation, anovulatory cycles, luteal phase defects, or structural issues can go undetected for years. Daily imaging makes these patterns visible, and your clinician's report gives you the information necessary for decisions with your doctor.

Bloom is also used by women with PCOS, endometriosis, irregular cycles, and those undergoing IVF or fertility treatment. The same daily imaging, our clinician focus adapted to your situation, whatever it may be.  PCOS & endometriosis →  ·  IVF & treatment support →

Choosing your tools

Period tracker, ovulation strip, or Bloom?

They answer different questions. Here is what each one tells you — and where each one stops.

Tool
When it works well
Where it stops
When it works well
  • Tracking cycle length over many months
  • Getting a rough estimate of your next period
  • Spotting broad patterns across cycles
Where it stops

Predicts from last month's data. Your follicle this month didn't read the app. There is no information on whether ovulation occurred, or the health of the structures surrounding it.

When it works well
  • Detecting the LH surge in real time
  • Narrowing your fertile window to 24–36 hrs
  • Affordable and easy to build into a routine
Where it stops

Tells you the signal came, not that ovulation followed. Ovulation can have an early or late timing compared to the hormone surge, if it occurs at all. Can't see inside your body.

When it works well
  • Visually confirming ovulation happened
  • Tracking follicle growth and maturity day by day
  • Checking whether lining is receptive for implantation
  • Getting a clinical report for your doctor or specialist
  • Understanding why cycles are irregular
Where it stops

If a rough window is enough, a tracker and strip will do. Bloom is for when you need to know, not estimate.

You can use all three. Many women combine their OPK strip and tracking with Bloom; the strip gives the hormone signal, Bloom gives visual confirmation that ovulation followed. They complement each other well.
Did you know?

LH surge strength declines with age. In women over 35, the hormone surge ovulation strips detect can be shorter, lower in peak, and easier to miss. The same is true with certain hormonal conditions. A faint surge doesn't mean ovulation didn't happen, and a strong surge doesn't guarantee it did. Imaging is the only way to know what actually happened.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Bloom for trying to conceive. Ask us anything else you would like to know.

Most women start around day 8–10 of their cycle, when follicle growth becomes trackable. If your cycles are shorter or you've ovulated early before, starting around day 6–7 is sensible. Your clinician will guide you from the first scan based on what they see, you don't need to time it perfectly.
Ovulation is visible on ultrasound. Your clinician looks for the collapse of the dominant follicle: it goes from a round, fluid-filled structure to a deflated, irregular one. This change confirms ovulation occurred and narrows down the exact 12–24 hour window. No hormone test can do this; only imaging can confirm it happened.
Yes, and many women do. The LH surge from a strip tells you the hormone signal fired; Bloom tells you whether ovulation actually followed. They complement each other well: the strip gives you an early heads-up, Bloom gives you confirmation. If you're already using strips, you don't need to stop.
This is exactly where Bloom is most useful. Irregular cycles make apps and strips unreliable: they're built around averages your cycle may not follow. Daily imaging doesn't predict; it observes what's actually happening this month. Whether you're ovulating, when, and whether the structures around it look healthy, that's all visible to your clinician, regardless of what your calendar says.
Bloom uses a probe that sits right below the navel, a typical daily scan takes a few minutes. We send you the probe and full instructions. Your clinician reviews each scan the same day and sends you a written report. No clinic, no waiting room, no referral needed.
If your clinician spots something that warrants clinical attention (a cyst, a structural concern, signs consistent with a condition), they will flag it clearly in your report and advise you on what to discuss with your GP or specialist. Finding something unexpected is rarely good news in the moment, but it's always better to know. That's the whole point of looking.
One cycle gives you a clear picture of what happened this month. Two or three cycles lets your clinician identify patterns; whether your ovulation timing, follicle quality, or lining thickness varies. Most women find one cycle answers their immediate questions; those dealing with unexplained infertility or irregular cycles often find the picture across a few cycles more informative.
