Natural Cycles: Birth Control

Measured my temp everyday as instructed and still managed to get pregnant within 2 months of using this app. Would not recommend

I remember when contemplating buying this app/product and reading the reviews , I specifically remember hesitating on purchasing after reading a number of reviews stating they got pregnant, little did I know , 5 months later I’d be doing the same . I specifically was extra careful and even if my days turned green, I would wait an extra 5 days of green before having unprotected intercourse. This app is advertised as a “natural contraceptive” and that is wrong . I consistently measured my temperatures at the same time daily and always had regular periods. My free app “period diary” was more accurate on when my period came than natural cycles . Do not purchase and do not trust this app.

For 16 years I’ve been on the pill, I’ve always wanted to come off it. This is such a great solution! Super happy with it!

Had used for 10 months and had been amazing, the algorithm can be stiff at times and predict my period wrong but it was good. Until it gave me a green day and then a week after kept it as a green day but also said it was my ovulation day so I fell pregnant… spoke to customer service and all they could tell me was that this isn’t common and I was just unlucky…

Unfortunately the customer service is very bad with this company.

My experience with this app has so far been incredible. I’ve been on so many different types of birth control (copper coil, combination pill, the patch, mini pill etc.) however for the first time this app has allowed me to feel in control of my body. I understand my cycles, my hormone levels. I feel protected without pumping my body with random drugs which I don’t understand. Honestly I wish I had found it sooner, It’s amazing! If your using it as birth control please be vigilant, the app can only be as good as you are. Remember Red means red! I hope this advice helps, good luck!

Please please please add in hormone suggestions - movement/nutrition/rest in accordance with hormone level during each phase, like other apps. Eg when it predicts ovulation, I want it to tell me what my hormones are doing and how I may feel etc.

Wasn’t that great at predicting cycle and didn’t catch ovulation about 50% of the time. Wanted me to use LH strips which defeated the purpose of temp tracking. Will use apple and a free app.

Used the app for contraception, and followed the rules and instructions to a tee. Taking temp when I should, using protection when needed, and have a really regular cycle as well. Worked for about 10 months which is great but then ended up with an unwanted pregnancy. So obviously wouldn't recommend.

Can’t fault the app personally. Came off hormonal contraception 3 years ago and have only used this app for protection ever since. I’ve even been a bit slack with taking my temp sometimes but as long as you use your brain and follow the colour on the day, you’re good and it is highly effective. After a year of using the app, I had gotten to know my cycle properly and after a few months of consistent temp taking, I now know I have around 50-60% of days where I will not get pregnant. It’s pretty simple. Take your temperature first thing in the morning. Enter data into the app. Give the app a few months to get to know you. Follow your red and green days and hey presto, no pregnancy!!! For me it works out about 5-7 days either side of my period are green. Also got some free ovulation tests for if I do ever wanna get pregnant! Personally I think it’s worth the subscription, but it’s not for everyone. If you’re horny and rubbish at remembering to do things first thing in the morning, you’ll probably get failed by this app and fall pregnant in a couple months 😂 but if you can add it to your routine, I highly recommend for a hormone, copper and latex free contraceptive journey!!!
