Natural Cycles: Birth Control 5.3.4

The Natural Cycles app is a reliable and scientifically proven birth control and ovulation temperature tracker, now integrated with Apple Watch. With advanced data protection measures including encryption and pseudonymization, your personal data remains secure. This app is the only birth control app cleared by the FDA and CE marked as a medical device.

Utilizing adaptive tracker technology, Natural Cycles personalizes your fertility tracking using your unique cycle and basal temperature. By accurately tracking ovulation, you can determine your fertile days and avoid unwanted pregnancy or plan for pregnancy with precision. The app provides daily insights into your fertility and ovulatory pattern, making it suitable for birth control or natural family planning purposes.

Natural Cycles boasts a high level of effectiveness, with a 93% success rate under typical use and 98% success rate under perfect use. This makes it a reliable option for those seeking effective birth control methods.

The NC° Plan Pregnancy mode is particularly helpful for couples who are actively tracking ovulation to conceive. Additionally, the app supports various devices for temperature measurement, such as Apple Watch, Oura Ring, or the NC° Bluetooth thermometer.

What sets Natural Cycles apart from other period and basal body temperature trackers is its unique algorithm. Unlike many other apps that assume a standard 28-day cycle, Natural Cycles tailors its fertile window according to your personal data. This reduces the risk of inaccurate fertility predictions and aids in effective birth control or planned pregnancy.

When it comes to pricing plans, Natural Cycles offers both a Yearly Plan at $119.99 per year and a Monthly Plan at $14.99 per month. To ensure the app's effectiveness, it is recommended to use Natural Cycles for a minimum of 2-3 cycles. Users should note that a subscription is required to access the cycle tracker.

Natural Cycles is committed to protecting users' privacy and data. Unlike free apps that rely on selling or sharing user data for advertising purposes, Natural Cycles charges a subscription fee to prioritize user privacy and maintain data security.

While Natural Cycles is an effective tool, it's important to remember that it does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Users should still take necessary precautions to prevent STIs, such as using condoms. Additionally, no birth control method is 100% effective, including the Natural Cycles app. Therefore, it's crucial to remain aware of the potential for pregnancy even when using the app perfectly.

Natural Cycles is available for women over the age of 18 and can be used as a method of birth control in both the US and Europe. However, it's important for users to understand English or one of the supported languages to effectively utilize the app.

Natural Cycles goes beyond being a period and ovulation tracker app. It serves as a comprehensive fertility partner that can cater to your specific needs at any point in your cycle or life stage. Still unsure? Give the app a try with our Demo Mode. The app also supports syncing with Apple Health.
