\section{Supplementary Results: Prediction of OV-over Indicator}\label{sec:appendix_ov_over_results}
\subsection{Comparative Study of Model Architectures and Parameters}\label{subsec:appendix_ov_over_architecture_results}
I will evaluate prediction of a binary indicator denoting whether ovulation has already occurred and
examine the influence of input window length, input resolution, and model capacity.
\paragraph{Impact of input window length.}
For predicting whether ovulation has occurred (OV-over),
optimal window lengths again vary by architecture and target phase (pre- vs post-ovulation).
The \textbf{Transformer} yields the lowest overall (0.0533) and post-ovulation MSE (0.0520) at 40 days.
The \textbf{LSTM} performs best before ovulation (MSE 0.0212 at 20 days), while its overall MSE improves with longer context (160 days).
The \textbf{Convolutional LSTM} favors short windows, with the best overall MSE (0.0699), before-OV (0.0389),
and after-OV (0.0833) all occurring at 20 days.
The \textbf{Convolutional Transformer} performs best overall at 40 days and best before ovulation at 160 days (MSE 0.0286).
See Table~\ref{tab:ovover_windows_compact_mse} for a summary.

\label{tab:ovover_windows_compact_mse}
\end{table}
\paragraph{Impact of input resolution.}
Fixing the input window to 20 days, I have compared input resolutions for LSTM and Transformer models.
For the \textbf{LSTM}, the lowest overall MSE (0.0633) occurs at 24/day,
with best before-OV and after-OV MSEs at 12/day (0.0212) and 48/day (0.0550), respectively.
The \textbf{Transformer} performs best overall at 72/day (0.0585),
with lowest before-OV MSE at 12/day (0.0255) and after-OV MSE at 288/day (0.0578).
Results are summarized in Table~\ref{tab:ovover_resolution_compact_mse};
full resolution grids are in Appendix Table~\ref{tab:ov_over_results_by_resolution}.

\end{table}
\paragraph{Impact of model parameters.}
Using fixed input settings (160 days at 12/day for LSTM/Transformer; 40 days for convolutional models), I have evaluated model scaling.
The \textbf{Transformer} achieves the lowest overall (0.0543) and after-ovulation MSE (0.0410) at a large configuration (512×8×8).
Before-OV MSE is lowest at 256×4×4 (0.0293).
For the \textbf{LSTM}, the best overall and after-OV performance is at 512×4,
while the best before-OV MSE occurs at 128×2 (0.0274).
The \textbf{Convolutional LSTM} performs best overall and after-OV at 256×4, with the best before-OV MSE at 128×2.
Finally, the \textbf{Convolutional Transformer} achieves its lowest overall and after-OV MSE at 512×4×4, and best before-OV MSE at 512×8×8.
Table~\ref{tab:ovover_params_compact_mse} summarizes these parameter-dependent results;

\end{table}
\noindent
Table~\ref{tab:ov_over_mse_regular_irregular} shows the MSE metric results for all models on the regular and irregular cycle groups for the OV-over target.
For this target, performance patterns differ more distinctly across phases.
In the regular group, the LSTM performs best overall and after ovulation, while the Transformer performs best before ovulation.
Convolutional models perform slightly worse than their recurrent and transformer-based counterparts across all phases.
The population mean baseline shows a spurious low MSE before ovulation, but this is not consistent across phases, suggesting it is not reliable.
In general, baselines are notably weaker than learned models across all splits.
For irregular cycles, all model performances deteriorate relative to regular cycles.
The LSTM remains the most robust, achieving the best MSEs both overall and before ovulation.
Convolutional LSTM performs best after ovulation.
Transformer-based models perform less consistently in this group, suggesting decreased robustness to cycle irregularity.
As before, all learned models outperform the baselines by a wide margin.
The full table with MSE and MAE for all models can be found in the appendix, Table~\ref{tab:regular_vs_irregular_ov_over_results}.
