Natural Cycles
Natural Cycles is a groundbreaking hormone-free birth control method that empowers women to take charge of their reproductive health. Using a combination of a mobile app and a basal body temperature thermometer, Natural Cycles helps women track their menstrual cycles and identifies days of fertility and non-fertility. This method is based on the scientific understanding that a woman's body temperature rises slightly after ovulation, indicating fertility. Research studies have shown that Natural Cycles is as effective as other commonly used birth control methods, such as the IUD, birth control pill, and implants.
What distinguishes Natural Cycles is its reliance on the body's natural cycles rather than synthetic hormones. Natural Cycles allows women to avoid the potential side effects associated with hormone use, such as mood swings and decreased libido. By trusting in the body's natural rhythms, Natural Cycles emphasizes a more holistic approach to birth control that aligns with the body's natural processes.
In an innovative partnership, Natural Cycles has collaborated with Oura to provide an additional level of accuracy and convenience.
Oura rings are sophisticated wearable devices that track various physiological parameters, including body temperature.
By integrating data from the Oura ring into the app, Natural Cycles users can access even more reliable information about their fertility status. This technology allows women to gain a deeper understanding of their bodies and make informed decisions regarding their contraceptive needs.
Looking ahead, the future of birth control lies in empowering individuals with knowledge about their bodies and menstrual cycles. Understanding one's fertility patterns can help in achieving or avoiding pregnancy, improving reproductive health, and maintaining overall well-being. Natural Cycles signifies a shift towards a more personalized and natural approach to birth control, ultimately placing control back in the hands of individuals. By embracing body awareness and leveraging technology to track fertility accurately, Natural Cycles paves the way for a future where women are fully informed about their reproductive health options.
I’ve been using Natural Cycles since May 2023 and I’ve loved the experience so far. I am always fascinated by data pertaining to my body and I’m constantly looking at different daily factors that might effect my overall wellbeing. By using Natural Cycles with my Oura Ring I am able to do that. In hopes of going ‘all natural’ and reducing my reliance on pharmaceuticals, this experience is right up my ally. I’m beyond excited to develop a stronger, more intuitive relationship with my body. I don’t want to speak too soon, but for now I personally love this method and hope I never have to return to hormonal birth control.
