Absolutely brilliant - after being on hormonal contraception this has been like a breath of fresh air. Natural cycles works so brilliant for me and I’ve never felt so in touch with my body and emotions. Genuinely lifechanging - if the you meet the criteria for this (regular periods, fairly routine lifestyle) then I could not recommend it more.

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.

I love it! I am so much more in touch with my body and the app gives you the right tools for you to have a great relationship with your menstrual cycle. The best part is that my cycles are 10x better while having absolutely no side effects. Going hormone free was the best decision.
