\subsection{Data Source and Characteristics}\label{subsec:data_background}
This study is based on a dataset collected from users of the \emph{OvulaRing}~\cite{noauthor_ovularing_nodate},
an intravaginal wearable sensor developed by VivoSensMedical GmbH, located in Leipzig, Germany~\cite{noauthor_vivosens_nodate}.
VivoSensMedical is supported by the European Regional Development Fund (EFRE), Saxon State Ministry for Economic Affairs,
Labour and Transport (SMWA) and the State Ministry of Science and Fine Arts (SMWK) and the City of Leipzig.
OvulaRing has been financed by the startup grant `EXIST Gründerstipendium` from the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology.
The device continuously records intravaginal core body temperature at 5-minute intervals.
The sensor itself measures approximately 1\,cm $\times$ 1\,cm $\times$ 2\,cm and is embedded in a silicone ring with a diameter of 5\,cm for ease of use.
It pairs with a smartphone via Bluetooth to synchronize and upload recorded data to a secure database.
