Why Does the Ovy App Continuously Show “FERTILE”?

Hier ist eine textnahe englische Übersetzung deines Textes mit gleicher Struktur:
There are two reasons why the Ovy App displays “fertile.” The indication appears if you are either currently in your fertile phase or if there is not enough data, or the right kind of data, available.In “Track Cycle” mode, the Ovy App needs two key data points to calculate your fertile days:

Basal body temperature
Cervical mucus
If these are entered daily, the display will switch to “not fertile,” provided that a temperature rise and a cervical mucus peak are detected by the Ovy algorithm.During your period, there is no cervical mucus and your basal body temperature may fluctuate. During this time, daily temperature measurement is optional for the calculation. On the first day after your period, you must resume daily measurements and record the quality of your cervical mucus.Important notes:The Ovy algorithm calculates, based on the female cycle, a maximum of eight infertile days at the beginning of the cycle and twelve infertile days at the end.Note that it’s not just about the regular entry of your data, but also about the quality of the data:This means the Ovy App must be able to detect a temperature rise in your measurements, and this must also be confirmed by a change in cervical mucus.TemperatureTo determine the infertile phase, the app must detect a clear temperature rise. This is characterized by three consecutive values, all higher than the highest of the six preceding values (= baseline). The first higher measurement (FHM) is marked in the cycle chart, with the six preceding values indicated.Cervical mucusIn addition, the Ovy App must be able to identify a cervical mucus peak in order to evaluate infertile days. A peak is defined by cervical mucus of good quality (S+, S, or f). This value must then be followed by at least three days of “poorer” quality (t or ø).The Ovy App calculates your cycle based on the symptothermal method. It is therefore important that you measure your basal body temperature daily and record your cervical mucus quality. The Ovy App shows you which data are missing on a given day.To help you better understand which data the Ovy App needs in order to perform an evaluation, here are some example cycles with explanations of possible scenarios and why the display looks the way it does.
Example 1: Evaluation completedIn this example cycle, a temperature rise and a cervical mucus peak were detected, so the fertile days are limited to cycle days 1 through 16.The following rules were met:

Three consecutive values are higher than the highest of the six preceding values (= start of the dotted baseline).
At least four cervical mucus values with a peak (values f, S, or S+) are given, followed by three days with a change in cervical mucus (values t or ø).
From the day both rules were met, the infertile days begin (here cycle day 17).In this example, the first five days are displayed as “fertile,” since this was the first documented cycle with the Ovy App. If there had been a first higher measurement (FHM) in the previous cycle, these days would have been displayed as “not fertile” according to the 5-day rule.
Example 2: Evaluation completedIn this example cycle, a temperature rise and a cervical mucus peak were detected, so the fertile days are limited to cycle days 6 through 17.The following rules were met:

Three consecutive values are higher than the highest of the six preceding values (= start of the dotted baseline).
At least four cervical mucus values with a peak (values f, S, or S+) are given, followed by three days with a change in cervical mucus (values t or ø).
From the day both rules were met, the infertile days begin (here cycle day 18).In this example, the first five days are displayed as “not fertile,” since a first higher measurement (FHM) was detected in the previous cycle (5-day rule).
Example 3: Evaluation not possibleIn this example cycle, no temperature rise and no cervical mucus peak were detected. Only the first five days can be considered “not fertile.” After that, the Ovy App continuously displays “fertile.”The following rules were not met:

Not enough temperature data are available. As described above, at least nine consecutive temperatures with a high phase must be detected (six measurements before the FHM + three consecutive higher measurements).
Although cervical mucus data points are present from the day after the period, no “peak” can be identified.

Example 4: Evaluation not possibleIn this example cycle, a temperature rise with one higher measurement (FHM) was detected, but no cervical mucus peak. The first five days must also be considered “fertile.”The following rules were not met:

While there were enough temperature measurements to complete the temperature evaluation with an FHM, this was not confirmed by a cervical mucus peak.
Cervical mucus was not entered daily.
The first five days are also displayed as “fertile,” since this is the first cycle evaluated with the Ovy App. The 5-day rule cannot be confirmed because no previous cycle with a first higher measurement (FHM) had been recorded in the Ovy App.
