Yes, you can use Natural Cycles with an irregular cycle, and it's just as effective.
Natural Cycles captures your unique cycle patterns by considering cycle irregularity, temperature fluctuations, recent use of hormonal contraception, ovulation day variation, sperm survival, and several other essential factors to provide a tailor-made solution for each individual.
Checkout this article for more information about using NC° with irregular cycles.
Natural Cycles is the first and only app of its kind cleared by the FDA as birth control. Most other fertility apps assume your cycle is 28 days long. This means the fertile window they predict is not personalized to your cycle. So how can it be true to you? Our algorithm significantly lowers the risk of you receiving an incorrect fertility status since it uses your unique temperature data, which reduces the risk of unwanted pregnancy and can even help you plan for pregnancy with greater precision.
Not all period trackers keep secrets — some might even share them. With the Natural Cycles app, your data stays yours. We provide an advanced data privacy protection program designed to keep your data safe.
