I started using Natural Cycles after I came off the hormonal birth control pill (Lutera) to help my body transition before I was ready to become pregnant. It was a great tool to get to know my body and I was able to prevent pregnancy without any side effects for 9 months before I made the switch to plan for pregnancy. I thought it was easy to use and really loved the feeling of knowing my body was doing what it was doing naturally, without any hormones. It def made me feel more confident when it came time to conceive.

After being on various pills for over 6 years, battling with unpredictable weight gain/ loss and emotions all over the place, I decided to come off any form of contraception and instead use a cycle tracking app. I started with Flo which is free but still used condoms whether I was ‘fertile’ or ‘infertile’ as I didn’t yet trust the method and was still learning about cycles in general, never mind my own (stuff I didn’t get taught in school). Flo generally predicted my period but I still did worry as it would predict a certain day and my period would come days later and I was in turmoil with worry. 3 months ago I invested in Natural Cycles. It is SO effortless to use - if does require daily temp checking but I have easily added into my routine (take my temp as soon as my alarm goes off). So far it has predicted by period bang on every month, even when my cycle varies. additionally it has not only educated me about my own cycle, but it has given me so much more confidence in my own cycle and I feel a lot more relaxed when it comes to sex with my long term partner, as there are certain times of the month when contraception does not need used and it feels good! I hope that for now while I don’t yet want a baby, that this method continues to work for me and then when the time comes to want children, this method will also aid me in that journey!

I think the 'side effects' I noted are due to my body returning to it's natural state after taking the pill for 10 years. I feel the app gives me a much better understanding of my cycle and body, and it has accurately detected my ovulation and predicted my period start date every time since I started using it

There are several methods under the symptothermal umbrella term, and efficacy rates are based on learning with an instructor. I learnt with an instructor from fertility UK, this was very affordable for a lifetime of cycle knowledge and a year of chart support. The method involves me taking my temperature upon waking and observing my cervical fluid throughout the day, recording this information on a chart which I use to work out my fertile and infertile days. This method is easy to use once you have learnt. The number of infertile days is very dependant on the individual users cycle, but I typically get ten days where I can go unprotected once I have confirmed ovulation and also four days at the beginning of my cycle available to use. The rest of my cycle would be considered my potentially fertile/fertile days, where barrier methods (reducing the efficacy to that of the barrier) or abstinence/non penis in vagina sex would be necessary. A consideration is that the altered sexual behaviour would have to have the sexual partners cooperation too, as they would also have to be willing to use a condom or have alternative sex on the fertile days. I personally have found this method very empowering, having real-time data of what my body is doing and fertility status, working with my cycle phases instead of fighting against them. Learning about my body and reproductive health in ways that are not talked about in society and it is knowledge that should no be hidden from menstruators.

I’ve been using this as contraception for several years and not only had it been affective, I’ve been much more in touch with my body!

I absolutely LOVE not being on any hormonal contraception. It has made a huge difference to my mood and overall wellbeing. I feel more in control of my body and understand my body so much better. I think it is a little daunting to put your trust in an app at first but after a while and a few periods the trust will grow. Just be super strict with following the rules and use the ovulation strips as well as this will help detect ovulation. You also have to be patient with getting 'green days' at first, while the app gets used to your body and cycle. But stick with it!

I started using natural cycles after having been swapped from the combined pill to the mini pill due to headaches with aura. I didn't get on with the mini pill and was suffering terribly with acne. After changing to natural cycles my skin has improved dramatically. My sex drive has come back massively and my moods have improved so much. I didn't even realise how 'numb' the pill had made my emotions until I came off it.

Natural cycles is a great app and if you are used to taking a pill every morning, taking your temperature straight away is no different. The app is very well designed and I have successfully been using it for 5 months. If you are hesitant I would say give it a try. I was very sceptical at first but I can't rave about this enough!

Still early days so I'm mainly getting red days where you should abstain/use other protection but having been on various pills for the last 16?! years I'm really seeing a difference in terms of improved mood and sex drive. Most recently I was on the mini pill but moved to this as it was worsening acne and general oiliness (hair) etc all of which improved pretty quickly. I do still have 'the fear' using this it could go wrong but worth giving a go as I'm feeling so much better. Will update in a few months!

Guys, can’t even begin to explain how life changing starting natural cycles has been for me. Coming off the mini pill (cerelle) I had awful symptoms tried all kinds over the years from different pills the implant etc nothing ever suited or worked for me. People think NC is an ancient method but it’s not, let me tell you, it’s AMAZING! Do your research; they are approved as an official contraception method. Whatever you are comfortable with! It’s your body and whatever works best for you! But I personally have loved getting to know my body better, my skin is amazing and I have not side effects like I did with hormonal contraception.
