ENSURING A GREAT EXPERIENCE
Every body is unique, so let’s ensure the inne minilab is right for you
The inne minilab is ideal for tracking your body's natural hormone fluctuations. Therefore, it is not currently recommended for women who are post-menopausal, taking hormonal Birth Control or Hormone Replacement Theory (HRT), currently pregnant, have PCOS, endometriosis and/or other health conditions that impact cycle regularity.
What hormones does the inne minilab currently measure?
The inne minilab currently measures salivary progesterone.
Progesterone is a female sex hormone that plays a role in helping the body prepare for potential pregnancy and regulating the menstrual cycle. Progesterone is made by both the corpus luteum of the ovaries, and the adrenal glands.
During mid-life our progesterone levels decrease which can cause irregularity in the menstrual cycle, as well as bothersome symptoms. As we move through the menopause transition, our menstrual cycles become more and more irregular, and we ovulate less often, therefore salivary progesterone levels may help us better understand our personal cycles including when to potentially expect a period, an ovulation and when menopause and PMS symptoms could be more troublesome.
Is measuring hormones through saliva accurate?
The inne minilab uses highly sensitive immunoassays and advanced image processing to detect subtle differences in your hormonal levels. As a Class I medical device, it has undergone rigorous performance testing to assure that results are accurate.
The inne minilab's salivary progesterone test can give us information on our own personal fluctuations of the hormone progesterone during our menstrual cycles. This can help us understand salivary progesterone “baselines”, “patterns” as well as track symptoms alongside hormone levels for insights.
Can anyone use the inne minilab?
The inne minilab is designed for women to measure their naturally occurring levels of progesterone. Any additional hormones you take will interfere with the insights that the minilab can provide.
Additionally, the minilab is not currently recommended for women who are pregnant, or those with conditions or medical treatments that impact the regularity of a menstrual cycle such as polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), or endometriosis.
These considerations may affect the accuracy of results and the types of insights that can be provided. We hope to better support women with these experiences in the future.
How does the inne minilab work?
The simple and convenient saliva test measures daily progesterone levels using a system of strips that work similar to the at-home COVID rapid tests.
Through a combination of highly sensitive immunoassays and a reader with image processing technology, it is able to detect small changes in hormonal levels down to 0.0000000001 grams.
Can I use the inne minilab if I am on hormonal birth control?
The inne minilab is not currently recommended for those on hormonal birth control (such as the pill, patch, hormonal IUD, ring, implant, or shot) due to how hormonal birth control methods impact the menstrual cycle.
Stay tuned for future updates on options for the inne minilab suitable for all women regardless of contraception method.
Can I use the inne minilab if I am on HRT?
The inne minilab is not currently recommended for those on hormone replacement therapy, given that the replacement hormones may mask your natural progesterone levels.
Stay tuned for future updates on options for the inne minilab suitable for all women.
Where do I get the results from the inne minilab?
Download the Phenology app from the iOS App Store or Google Play Store to view your results.
How do I set up the inne reader?
Connect your inne reader through bluetooth using the Phenology app. Once the reader is paired with the Phenology app and your mobile device, your reader is ready to begin testing.
