Designed for Natural Cycles, the NC° Band tracks your temperature trends while you sleep. Simply put it on your wrist before going to bed, wear overnight, and open the NC° app in the morning to check your fertility status.
The NC° Band continuously measures your temperature while you sleep. Simply wear it overnight and check your NC° app for insights the next day. No daytime wear is needed.

Natural Cycles is committed to protecting your data. We have strong security protocols, including encryption and pseudonymization, to keep your data secure. As a regulated medical device, Natural Cycles is required to comply with the FDA's cybersecurity requirements. And as a Swedish-based company, we are designed to comply with GDPR standards, pledging to safeguard your data no matter where you live. Learn more about how we protect your data here.
Natural Cycles is the first and only app of its kind cleared by the FDA as birth control. Many fertility apps are based on a 28-day cycle. This means the fertile window they predict is not personalized to your cycle. So, how can it be true to you? Our algorithm uses your unique temperature and cycle data to significantly reduce the risk of an incorrect fertility status, helping minimize unintended pregnancy and support pregnancy planning with greater precision.
Plus, privacy protection isn’t included with all apps, but it is with your NC° subscription. With NC° Secure, your cycle data is private and secure.
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.
All birth control costs money both to make and supply. If you’re living in the US, the NC° Annual Plan is covered by most major insurance providers and is FSA/HSA eligible.
As a certified medical device, the Natural Cycles subscription helps keep your data safe. It also enables us to conduct the necessary scientific research required by regulatory bodies (such as the FDA), as well as other important activities to promote women’s health and make sure we are offering our users the best product we can.
The NC° Band is included for free with an Annual Plan. It is also available for purchase separately for $129.99. Natural Cycles is FSA and HSA eligible.
