NOTE: SKIP TO THE CHAPTER YOU ARE INTERESTED IN.
PS - I was on BC for over a decade and had no issues until recently. I think BC is great for specific people and do not regret my previous decisions. Please watch the full video and don’t come for me 🫠
Today I'm spilling the tea on my dual user experience after 8 months! I tried to highlight points I haven't seen other videos mention online, so there are a lot of other pros and cons regarding both apps. I encourage anyone researching this alternative and switch to weigh out your options and talk to your health provider.
***Everyone is different and I am advocating for informed decisions that ultimately make sense for each unique individual's health journey.
This video was important for me to make because there were so nuances I wouldn't have learned until I had been using both apps for this long. Please take this video as only ONE small piece of your research and think about the critical impacts it will have on you and if it's the right move. I'm all for responsible family planning!

*update as of 4/5: my account ran out of referrals, they only give me five. Looks like it’s all used!
What NC Tells Me I Receive When I Provide You This Link:
➤For 20% off your annual subscription and a free thermometer
www.naturalcycles.com/refer-a...
➤Transparency mentioned in video: Apparently one receives free lifetime subscription if 10 people use my link (Star Cycler Status). No idea if this is legit, but if I reach 10 I'll update this description!
Update 4/11/24: My HSA notified me three weeks after my appeal it qualifies for reimbursement!
Update 4/17/24: Supposedly health insurance companies that cover NC are: Aetna, UMR, United Healthcare, and BlueCross BlueShield! I did an HSA reimbursement, I have not tried to get it covered by insurance yet.

Good on you for finding a method that works for you. Sure a $500 ring and $120 app subscription sounds expensive, but never as expensive as a baby hahaha. Thanks for introducing me to a way to measure temperatures easier.
Thank you! Yes I think when I got mine NC gave me some $40 off but that was it. Honestly I’m still awaiting to hear back from my appeal to get that $120 reimbursed 🤞
Totally! I’m glad it’s helpful it’s so much for convenient and I also feel like all the additional info I get for health decisions is worth it. Thanks for stopping by!
Loved hearing your review! I also switched off of hormonal birth control a few years ago and love it. I use a different method, but I love hearing about your experience and more about the Natural Cycles app which I've heard a lot about. Whether people choose hormonal bc or not, learning about the different parts of your cycle and how it effects your hormones is invaluable. They should teach young girls about their cycles in health class, in my opinion. So empowering to understand and know your body!
Yes! It’s so important to educate ourselves and others about how much this impacts our daily lives. I wish they taught us more about this in school!
Love this review, it was great detail about both apps!
Aw thank you for taking the time to write something positive. I’m glad it was helpful!
Thanks for this video! I just bought my ring and enrolled in the apps. I'm planning to get pregnant and bought the ring for the TTC, pregnancy, and postpartum journey. I hope you earn your lifetime free subscription! I used another creators link before I saw your video.
That’s wonderful to hear! Congrats on growing your family ❤️ so excited for you and thank you for your kind words, I appreciate you using my link! I just got an update from my HSA appeal that qualifies for reimbursement
Youre so pretty!!
Wow did not expect this today as I have yet to brush my hair in a few days 🙃 thank you for leaving a kind comment Maddison 😭 have a blessed day!
@@violetsdigest Thank you, You to girl!!
Agreed and the green is definitely your color!
How did you go about getting it covered by insurance?
I didn’t try my insurance I attempted to get it covered by HSA since my workplace gives US dollar credit if we complete certain health tasks. I’ve read on their website that you can potentially get it covered by insurance in the same way by filing it under birth control.
