You have to take your temperature and do a ovulation test ( wee sample ) both in the morning then you add all in the app and it tells you if is a red day ( which you have to use another contraceptive method ) o green then you can have sex without contraception because when you have a green day you are not meant to get pregnant . I think if you want to get pregnant go for this app ! but as contraception is not very good as you hardly ever get green days and when you get them ( very rare ) you feel you can still getting pregnant also boyfriends / partners find so difficult to trust the app which it makes it even more difficult for the woman . As an app works very well and is interesting to know when do you ovulate or if you don't ovulate or if you ovulate twice but as contraception needs improvement

I used natural family planning for 1 year after coming off my implant. As a nurse working night shifts at times i struggled to get accurate recordings of my temperature therefore i believe it became unreliable. I suffered a chemical pregnancy. However my sex drive increased, my skin improved ever so slightly and I was a lot less bloated.

Coming off hormonal contraception and giving natural cycles a go has been fab. As long as you have a regular sleep cycle (waking up/going to bed within 2 hours every day) and you’re consistent with measuring your temp as soon as you wake up (easy to maintain that habit in my opinion) it’s been a great way to learn about my body and feel myself again after 10+ years of hormonal contraception dampening my personality, sex drive and emotions. You need a supportive partner to be happy using condoms on days you’re fertile but honestly once you’ve got a decent amount of readings, you only really have about 7-10 days of being fertile where you need to be careful with contraception etc. I definitely think it’s worth it to have your sex drive and personality back, rather than being apathetic all the time!!
