Natural Cycles App and acne

First few months lots of ‘red’ days (no unprotected sex days). Coming off the pill was a personal choice and brought back lots of issues i.e needing prescription pain medication. However, my sex drive and mental health have significantly improved and impacted on my relationship. I’ve used natural cycles for 2 years religiously and no problems or pregnancy.

Came off contraception methods due to all the side effects. I’ve been on 5 different pills and had the implant) so far this is the best for me. Been doing NC for over a year and it has worked for me and my partner. You will have to stick to no sex or protected sex on red days. Took me a little while to understand my body but after 6 months I feel I know my body a lot better in terms of when I ovulate and when my period is coming.

I switched from the contraceptive pill to natural cycles 6 months ago (I track my temperature with an Oura ring that connects to my natural cycles app). From month two it had detected my fertile window and indicated reds days with accuracy. It tells me when to take an LH test and I have ovulated this past moth for the first time since coming off the pill which has narrowed down my red days massively and love that I can be armed with the knowledge of where I am in my cycle and whether or not I’m in a fertile window for my contraceptive choices, no messing with my hormones or remembering to take a pill. I highly recommend if you are wanting to let your body do its think without interfering.
