Natural Cycles App

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!
