Natural cycles

Has anyone used this app as a contraceptive method? I've stopped taking the pill due to too many side effects and don't want to take any hormonal contraceptives anymore but do not want to get pregnant. So far we've been using condoms.

I've been looking at this app but you have to pay for it so just wanted to know if anyone's tried it x

It can work well BUT you need to know your body and your cycle really well. It works better the longer you use it. Personally I'd use it AND condoms for 6 months and get a real feel for yourself.

It worked for me and DH for 3 years.

If you absolutely do not want to get pregnant again, I would never stop using condoms. I would talk to your partner about getting the snip.

We do want another child, just not within the next 5 years. We'll be using condors in the meantime

I like that I get to know my body better with it, in the beginning you do have to use condoms for some months until the app knows you. Depending on how regular you are or how much you don't want to get pregnant right now you can choose to use condoms(even if you have green days) before you have ovulated and only go condom free after ovulation is confirmed. It's great for when you switch over to trying for a baby and its only good if you already have some cycles logged. If you do decide to try it out I have a code that gives you 20% off and a free thermometer.

I got pregnant using NC. I will say that they highlighted issues with the temperatures I was recording and I think the problem is that my severe insomnia meant the ‘upon waking’ thing just didn’t work for me!
