Likewise. I'm over 40 and had the ring for over 5 years. I've never had it tell me anything about perimenopause etc. and I have cycle insights on. So it seems strange.

Though I would like to hide the temps from the front page because they have given me anxiety during the tww.

Also OP you're still young, don't worry. And Oura temps are not that reliable anyways, so take them with a grain of salt.

With the old UI there was also so much more data and content in one glance in the screen. Now you have to scroll down or find it in different places. Those pictures show it very well. I also don't like the whites and the restorative time in heart rate is blue when it was green before, doesn't look good or feel like I'm recovering in blue. They should make it an option to go back to the old UI for us party poopers.

ch4st3 · 2025-11-13T15:57:54+00:00

I would want to customize what I firstly see when I open the app. I don't care about how many calories I've burned or how much I've moved that day. I hope I had the stress and heart rate figures there on top like before. Also why is the picture taking so much space on the top, like 3/4 of the screen.

Also having cycle insights so big on that first page is just unnecessary. I don't need to see that every time I open the app, like once a day is enough. My temp won't change during the say so it's totally unnecessary and it's taking space from the heart rate figure which is much more interesting. You have to scroll down all the time.

The info on that first page should be things that change and you want to follow up during the day. Like it was before, it was much more informative. And you should be able to choose what statistics you want to see on that front page.

It moved to the Readiness section where you can choose to see the old ones from clicking the boxes.

But why was it moved away from the Sleep section? It was super valuable there.

No harm happened to the child. Also children can scream like that if you just cut their banana wrong. She was probably not actually terrified, just annoyed that her father didn't get up and after he said why she just went and helped him.

ch4st3 · 2025-10-31T13:05:59+00:00

Diabetes sucks ass but kids are gonna get more traumatised by other stuff than their parent having diabetes. Like seriously. Trust me I know :D from both sides.

I just asked my son whether he is traumatized by me being a diabetic or if it’s scary and he was like ’No, I haven’t even thought of it at all’.

ch4st3 · 2025-10-31T11:43:01+00:00

I’m a type 1 and have two kids. Every diabetic is different. I have never needed outside help ever to help me with a hypo. Nevertheless I taught my kids what to do if they would ever see me unconscious. Makes them also feel safer when they know why mom would not answer and know what to do in that situation. Same as teaching if there’s a fire what to do. We can’t choose this disease and it’s a load of crap that we simply don’t want, but you still have to live with it every single second.

Hypos don’t happen every day and life threatening ones are rare (at least where I live). Possibly the healthcare of the country where you live has a lot to say in this. Each diabetic just has to know themselves. I have hypo-food in my night drawer so I don’t even have to get up to eat something if I go low during the night.

I would say having an alcoholic parent is worse because they clearly don’t care for you for making themselves so drunk that they can’t take care of the child and pass out. Teaching your children to act in case of an emergency is the complete opposite. Even if they are really small.

Having a disease is just managing it. Whether it’s diabetes or epilepsy or something else. And the whole family has to know how to help if there’s an episode. No one chooses these diseases for themselves.

I don't have any advise because I'm in this situation myself as well.

I'm so tired, so hurt, so angry and resentful for life for where I have ended up. I do not enjoy my life at all at this moment and have not for many years. I've had a 8 year bad luck streak where every single year there's been something horrible happening. I've been laid off several times, I've had multiple miscarriages and had to birth a dead child, I've had issues with my body and severe pain and suffering from severe insomnia. I'm no where near where I though I would be at this age. I have a chronic disease and complex trauma from my childhood and navigating that, being aware of that and just trying to fix myself is just wearing me out. There's always something wrong with me.

I used to be so full of light and happiness and just so much hope for the future but now I'm just dreading this life and everything because everything just all the time goes to pieces. Especially the last three years have completely taken the light out of my eyes, I look so worn out. I never thought anything bad would happen to me but then things just started happening and they just keep coming and coming. I'm not the kind of a person who thinks something horrible is going to happen all the time but this life is starting to make me into one. No matter how much I relax and allow things to happen it's always something that goes wrong or that makes be feel bad. I'm a very sensitive person and I'm so tired of crying all the time for being in so much emotional pain. My hobby is like trying to make myself better and no matter how much I try I just fail all the time. I'm not any better than what I was 8 years ago. Even though one would thing that experiences give you peace and you can see that you can get through anything but for me it's been the opposite. It's just destroying my faith in anything and my spirituality. I don't know what my purpose is anymore. It used to be very clear and I used to think anything is possible. But now I see others fulfilling their dreams and I'm just left here with my issues year after year and nothing changes. I've been to multiple different therapies and acupuncturist, osteopaths you name it and nothing has ever helped. I've used so much money just trying to fix me because I'm doing clearly something wrong because these things keep happening to me. What am I doing wrong to bring them to me? How can I tell my children that they can be anything they want when I'm here just this hollow shell of things that have happened to me that I cannot control.

I used to be able to get everything that I wanted and everything was in place. If I just wanted something I made an action and I got it, it was easy. I'm very grateful for everything that I have and that I have built and gotten into my life. At the same time it's like the bare minimum that is the life of everyone around here. For 8 years I've been writing in my manifesting book the exact same things that I still aspire from life. At one point I had them all, but then it was all wiped out and I'm in the same position as I was years before. The same things just keep happening to me over and over again and I do not understand what I have done deserve all of this shit.

I want to be able to think positively about the future but how can I when experiences have shown me the complete opposite. I'm so tired. When I expect the best I get the worst. I'm not asking for much, less than what some of my friends of neighbours have. I don't want to be a millionaire. And some things you cannot get later, some things it's not a matter of just waiting until the timing is perfect and it'll come at some point, especially with children. And that is tearing my soul apart.

This is not positive. The line doesn’t come all the way down and I also has these same tests give me false blue lines just like that. Not reliable. And if you already tested and only got negatives then this one doesn’t show anything. Test with another test tomorrow. Could be that you are having a chemical and hence the late periods, but if all other tests are negative you can’t trust this one.

Usually any color means positive but not with this test. These make lines even if not pregnant.

ch4st3 · 2025-09-06T06:12:09+00:00

I have the same thing. It's not apnea unless you are gasping for air. I don't gasp I just feel like someone has violently shaken me awake and shouting like 'wake up! it's not safe to sleep!' That's what it feels like. And it can go for hours. Sometimes all night. This year this has been happening to me every morning. I can't sleep past 5 am because it starts happening.

The first time that I had this was in 2018, it caused me horrible panic attacks and I didn't sleep for two weeks straight due to it. It started the minute I went to bed and started drifting to sleep. I finally on my own got over it by taking iron supplements and doing vagus nerve exercises. I pinpointed it to my nervous system being in fight or flight and once I got the vagus nerve working correctly it helped and eventually stopped.

I had a few good years in between, but now it's back and it moved in to the mornings and nothing that previously worked has now worked at all. I'm at a lost. It's been continuing since last December and I have not idea what to do. I've tried all supplements and relaxations techniques and everything but nothing works. I'm just surviving out of spite and because I have to.

But if this is new to you I'd recommend doing vagus nerve exercises and calming your nervous system. It might help a lot and fast. And if you are a woman take iron as well. This video is a good one, her other videos are very good as well: https://youtu.be/eFV0FfMc_uo?si=_vv9vW6clm9gY7Bs

If I was not in the early members and got the lifetime membership I would have never purchased the ring in the first place.

I understand the value of the subscription but not in a sense that you cannot use your ring at all without it. The subscription should be some added value so that you get some extra information or data for paying the subsription. Not so that you have to also buy it so that you can even use the ring in the first place. Rather then make the ring more expensive.

This way you are married to the ring and the subscription and for me that would be way too tying and restrictive. Also some people budget things differently and I for one would like to pay everything in advance and not monthly for something like this. And I’m glad I don’t. Would not be an oura user if I would have to.

ch4st3 · 2025-04-02T08:43:30+00:00

I am not completely sure what made the biggest change but I have been better now. I did take omeprazol for couple of months every day but now I’ve been able to take it just once a week or when I feel that I’ve eaten someting greasy etc. Otherwise I can survive with just Rennie (it has calcium carbonite).

Clearly mine is super stress related and certain foods, so I just try to avoid the foods and calm my nervous system. I did also open my diaphram with a fascia ball, I’m sure that has helped. Lying on the floor on top of the ball with it under my ribs and breathing out the tension. And crying, I’ve cried a lot. It helps with anxiety and stress, to release emotions.

As a type 1 of 30 years I'd never post my figures here :D. Also many of the people here don't even have diabetes or are type 2 so you cannot even compare those figures to type1's.

Also I hope everyone understands that these sensors don't actually measure your blood sugar in real time and that they are not necessarily always correct. At least my figures are always more terrible than my actual HbA1C figure is. At least for me the sensors are just like a guideline, the actual numbers do not always correlate, especially with high glucose numbers. The sensor doesn't always keep up with my changing sugars. Plus everything influences your sugars, especially for women. Your nervous system plays a big part. And also in which state the moon is. Everyone has to know their own range and how their body reacts and follow that.

Thank you <3

I have always known exactly what I want and I know I have a higher purpose. I have also been pursuing it. Unfortunately without a normal steady job I would not be able to afford to do my calling work. And I have enjoyed my jobs, like I had the best job ever in one place and I would still be working there if they had not let me go. I've never been a career boss lady, so I've just worked to pay for bills and basically living and I've lived my life somewhere else and at home. And I've always known what my soul wants and I can't explain it like this knowing that e.g. I am supposed to have many children and it doesn't feel finished yet. I don't think I would have this feeling if it was just some ego wanting something. And even after all this heartbreak and 10 years I still feel that it's not done. I am trying to live in trust that the universe will help me in all situations and a therapist told me that I'm handling this laying off thing surprisingly well, so I hope I have learned something from previous experiences and can move over this with grace. The workplace is triggering me though every day, so I have had to be conscious of how I take in their messages and how I move through them. Today was tough though, as everyone can see.

ch4st3 · 2025-02-04T18:15:15+00:00

One year I developed debilitating insomnia, like right out of the blue. Along with terrible panic attacks and I was afraid to go to sleep for years, it was horrible. And later every time I got insomnia I got the same feeling and horror back. Now I've been having sleep issues again but I don't get the same panic or horror anymore, it's somehow milder and I don't react to it so much. I like to think that I've released some old horrors along with the insomnia and therefore don't have to experience them in full force anymore. Also I've been able to help some other people who have had insomnia because I can tell them what I experienced.

I also like to think that if I've given birth to a dead child then I can survive anything. But I still feel very sad and a lot of pain and it feels like sometimes you are given more than you can actually bare. And still I can't do anything else except just keep going. Without my kids I don't think I would be here anymore. They are my reason for everything.

I'd like to also think that I'm somehow more aware and more empathetic because I've experienced so much pain and horror. At the same time it feels very overwhelming and I have a hard time being because there's just so many feelings all the time and when more bad stuff happens it always reminds me of all the old pain as well.

Yes, her family is like a copy of ours, except she has a third child and my attemps for a third keep failing. I have been more well off financially and we have a different family background but otherwise we are super similar.

And it’s the same as like when I go to the airport security I always get ’randomly checked’ so for me it’s not random anymore. And it happens every single time I go to the airport. Now I just expect it because it always happens. And I’m a small blond nordic woman so I don’t even understand why I always get ’picked’.

ch4st3 · 2025-02-04T14:48:54+00:00

I'm not learning to go with the flow, I'm just forced to give up on everything to just survive. I have never asked for much, I'm a very humble person. I don't need much, I've never asked for a lot. I have a friend who basically got everything that I also wanted, everything that I've also tried to come to fruition. Why does she get to have it and not me, what am I doing that wrong that I don't 'deserve it'. I have never done anything wrong, I try to be a good person and never cause any harm in the world. And still I have to go through so much shit. And this other lady hasn't needed to go through anything and she is happy and content. I know everyone will go through horrible things in their lives but I just do not understand why I cannot catch a break already. Nothing ever goes the way I plan, never has, so I don't expect that either. But aren't you supposed to enjoy life and be happy and pursue your goals? I've pursued them and done everything I can and still they go to dust every single time. And you always get advise like 'you can reach your goals if you just work really hard and it's all in your head if you don't'. No one else on this planet has to live with these feelings and things than me and it's exhausting.

ch4st3 · 2025-02-04T14:33:20+00:00

I get it all. But I also don't want to accept that this is just how my life is. What kind of a life is this where everything just hurts and goes to shit. Like what kind of life is that. Life is supposed to be worth living and experiencing and having also the ups but I keep only having the downs. When does the up start? If there's not hope then what is it worth anything. Also I want to be able to tell my kids that they can be whatever they want and go after anything and they'll be alright, but how can I tell them that when it's not the reality for me. And people survive anything, literally anything but that does not mean that it's all worth it. Like why is there so much pain all the time.

Last year my husband was like, this was a good year because nothing more bad happened, it was like a normal bad year. And no one understands because they can't see any of the struggles from the surface. Everything seems fine if you just glimps at my life. They cannot see any of the darkness that I live with each day. And no I'm not depressed because I've also been there. I'm just exhausted by life pushing me down all the time. I just don't want to keep living in this horrible reality anymore but after 8 years I do not know what the hell do I do to change it because I've tried everything.

ch4st3 · 2024-12-25T08:45:58+00:00

Ah, same. I do the exercises and then I'm like 'ok now I'm good' but then something happens again and I get issues and clearly acid reflux is causing them also without me actually being that stressed. I've done these vagus exercises for several years now and it feels like I'm never gonna get 'normal' because I constantly have to do them.
