Common Questions
Natural Cycles can be used with any Oura Ring model (Gen 2 and later). The discount applies only to Oura Ring 4 in Silver, Black, Stealth, Brushed Silver, Gold, and Rose Gold while supplies last. It excludes all other products, styles, and finishes.
While Oura Cycle Insights provides information about the menstrual cycle, it is not meant to be used for birth control. If you are looking to prevent pregnancy, you should use the NC° Birth Control app. Natural Cycles is FDA-cleared to be used as a birth control method and fertility tracker. Oura Fertile Window feature has been designed specifically as an aid for conceiving a pregnancy. It is not intended as a tool to prevent pregnancy.
Your Natural Cycles subscription will be active as soon as you subscribe. This will give you time to familiarize yourself with the Natural Cycles app and complete the onboarding process.
Natural Cycles is a regulated medical device that follows GDPR and is designed to keep your data safe with the highest level of security and encryption. Protecting user information has always been a top priority for Natural Cycles. Now more than ever, sensitive data requires greater protection and regulation, which is why you can rest assured knowing that we are committed to protecting your information. Visit our data security page to learn more.
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.

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.

Sign up for the Natural Cycles Annual Plan. After you complete your purchase, we’ll send you a discount link that directs you to your exclusive Oura Ring offer.
If you’re an existing Natural Cycles user, you can access the discount link on the Buy Extra Supplies page in the Natural Cycles app.
To pair your Natural Cycles app with the Oura Ring, you’ll need a Natural Cycles subscription and an Oura Membership.
An active Oura Membership ensures that Oura can process specific and necessary data from your Oura Ring. Without an Oura Membership, your temperature trends won’t be able to sync with the Natural Cycles app to identify your daily fertility status.
