The science behind NC° Birth Control
Common questions
Yes. However, we recommend only switching to a new measuring device at the start of a new cycle.
Please keep in mind that you should avoid switching measuring devices too often and you can't use two devices at the same time.
When should I measure?
Simply put your wearable on before you go to bed, and it will measure while you sleep.
If you sometimes forget to measure your temperature, it will not impact the effectiveness of Natural Cycles as birth control. That said, less temperature data will make it harder for the algorithm to identify your fertile window.
We recommend adding five temperatures per week to get the most out of the Natural Cycles app.
Natural Cycles is a registered medical device that users pay to access. An NC° subscription is designed to keep your data safe, but it also means we don’t need to profit from your data like other “free” apps do. With Natural Cycles, you control your data.
Natural Cycles is 98% effective when used as intended, and 93% with typical use.
As a regulated medical device, Natural Cycles is subject to rigorous testing and yearly audits. Our FDA clearance is based on analyses of more than 15,000 women across 180,000 cycles. We are constantly monitoring the app’s performance to ensure our Pearl Index remains stable and our effectiveness rate remains consistent. You can read more about our research, including our effectiveness studies, here.
