WHY NATURAL CYCLES? Natural Cycles is more than a period tracker. Most other fertility tracking apps assume your cycle is 28 days long, even though 87% of women have cycle lengths that don't fit into the 28 day pattern.. We understand that birth control is not a one-size-fits-all. Your cycle is unique to you! Our algorithm uses personalized temperature data to confirm your ovulation, reducing the risk of you being assigned an incorrect fertile day. Unlike period trackers, the NC° app allows you to identify your fertility status daily, so you can prevent pregnancy or plan for it with greater precision. From birth control to planning pregnancy and every cycle in between – Natural Cycles is there for you with each stage of your fertility journey. Still not sure? Download the app and test out our Demo Mode. The app supports syncing with Apple Health. *E.

PRICING PLANS: ● Annual subscription (and FREE NC° Thermometer): $119.99/year ● Monthly subscription: $14.99/month ● We recommend a minimum of 2-3 cycles to get the most out of your Natural Cycles subscription. ● Our subscription fee helps to protect you and your data. Many free apps work by selling their users’ data to third parties for advertising. Privacy is non-negotiable for us; we will never sell your data. PRECAUTIONS: ● Natural Cycles does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Use a condom to protect against STIs. ● No method of birth control is 100% effective. Even when using the birth control app perfectly, there is still a chance of getting pregnant. ● Natural Cycles is for women over the age of 18. ● Natural Cycles is only available as a method of birth control in the US and in Europe. ● To use Natural Cycles, you need to understand English or one of the supported languages.

I've used this app + the oura ring for my whole fertility journey instead of birth control. It is very accurate once you give it a few months to learn how your body works! One issue I've had with it currently is how long it takes to find my ovulation day, but within about 3 days it usually has enough data to predict the rest of your month after ovulation. I definitely would recommend this app and I prefer the oura ring with it.

I really love this app, esp the pairing with the Oura Ring! The combo of the two makes it SO easy to track my cycle and the fluctuations therein. 😍 The only thing I would love to see change is the ability to track different symptoms (maybe even add or alter your own?), and to note the intensity of the symptoms you're tracking. I had another cycle app with this feature, and it was super useful. But I love so much about NC! The educational articles, the graphs... it's great! 🥳

I want the data I am getting from this app, but don't have the smoothest flow interacting with this app and do not like my experience in that aspect. I wish this integrated with my Google calendar somehow even if you integrated with another big calendar system I'd switch calendars to have that feature. Oura Rings do not appeal to me and I cannot connect my 3rd party BT thermometer I already have, use another app to sync that, and manually input the data here to get your algorithm, data, and UI
