I've used it for 7 years and it's always worked for me. I cant imagine putting artificial hormones in my body now. I often don't need to look at dates / temps etc I just know my body and cycle well enough now (although i wouldn't recommend that method to someone else haha)

I haven’t been on any contraception now since Sep 2017 and no babies, I wouldn’t say it’s 100% to anyone else but I know that and feel like I know my body well enough to have it work for me, most the time we do use withdrawal just for more peace of mind but again, know that’s not always 100% and would just accept it if something did happen.
Hi Iv never used contraception other than condoms and it’s always worked for me (regular 28 day cycle), I have 1 child and currently pregnant with our second and both were planned. I think if you have a regular cycle and know when your body is about to ovulate or you are ovulating you don’t need to take any contraceptions. If you wanted to have sex during your fertile window you could always use condoms at that time 
Just a Q about natural cycles.. do you have to take your temperature at the exact same time every day? Like say you decide to take it at 7am each morning or is it just as soon as you wake up?
As soon as you wake up ideally but you can take it then go back for a snooze as it stores the last temp you took
I’ll add some screen shots from my app that confirm

Mine is terrible at this. I feel mean saying this but it’s so frustrating.
Oh that is fantastic! Much better than I thought, thank you.. I was thinking I’d never be able to have a lie in againAs soon as you wake up ideally but you can take it then go back for a snooze as it stores the last temp you took
Hi I have just discovered this thread.
I am almost 38, have one 8 year old child and don’t plan on anymore. I have been on the contraceptive pill since I was 16 and really want to give my body a break from fake hormones.
Really interested in natural contraception, I have a regular 28 day cycle and very light periods.
is the one people are using called natural cycles? You pay £6.99 a month or I think it’s £50 for the year?
Interested to hear any positives or negatives of this method or any other apps etc people use.

I tried this and was pregnant within the first month. Not a disaster but not ideal…still have no idea what I did wrong
That’s the one. I’ve been using natural cycles for 18 months, successfully with a previous partner (no pregnancy) always used condoms on red days but not on green days.. we broke up but I’ve still been using it and measuring temps while single as if not I’d go back to having to start again and have tons of red days and no data. Now with a new partner and he’s aware I use it.. I’ll tell him when he needs to bag it up so to speak
and when he’s good to go. Hopefully it carries on being successful as absolutely do not want babies but I’m unable to use hormonal contraception. I need to go to the docs to be fair to get on the wait list for sterilisation but due to covid that’s going to take a mega long time. I personally think it’s a brilliant app if you have a regular cycle but you do need to be measuring correctly and be on the ball with it
