Natural Cycles: A Natural Approach to Contraception
Natural Cycles offers a unique, science-based method for birth control through temperature tracking and a user-friendly app interface.
NC° Birth Control · NC° Plan Pregnancy
Natural Cycles is the top-rated birth control and ovulation temperature tracker app in the US and UK. It has been cleared by the FDA and CE marked as a medical device, making it the only birth control app with this distinction. With its adaptive tracker technology, Natural Cycles uses your unique cycle and basal temperature to track ovulation, providing you with daily insights into your fertility and personal ovulatory pattern. Whether you're looking for birth control or planning a pregnancy, Natural Cycles is scientifically proven to be effective, with typical use being 93% effective and perfect use being 98% effective.
Unlike most other fertility tracking apps that assume a 28-day cycle, Natural Cycles personalizes your fertile window based on your personal data, significantly reducing the risk of an incorrect fertile day assignment. This tailored approach reduces the risk of unwanted pregnancy or helps you plan a pregnancy with greater precision.
Pricing Plans:
- Yearly Plan (Recommended): $99.99/year
- Monthly Plan: $12.99/month
A subscription is required to use the cycle tracker, and while a free demo is available, we recommend using Natural Cycles for a minimum of 2-3 cycles to maximize its effectiveness. The subscription fee is in place to protect your data, as free apps often rely on sharing or selling user data to third parties for advertising purposes. Natural Cycles guarantees your privacy by never selling your data.
To ensure your sexual health, it's important to note that Natural Cycles does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Using a condom is vital for protection against STIs. Additionally, no method of birth control is 100% effective; even when using the Natural Cycles app perfectly, there is still a chance of pregnancy. Natural Cycles is intended for use by women over the age of 18 and is available as a method of birth control in the US and Europe. Fluency in English or one of the supported languages is necessary to use Natural Cycles.
Download the Natural Cycles app and try out the Demo Mode to experience its features firsthand. The app also supports syncing with Apple Health.
