As the years go by, I have a deeper appreciation for my body, and that in order to make the right decisions for my body, knowledge truly is power. In 2023, it’s going to be increasingly important that we ALL share knowledge because the more we know, the stronger we are. I’ve been very vocal about my decision to get off hormonal birth control and I’ve gotten a lot of questions around what I use to prevent pregnancy so I wanted to share that I use @naturalcycles and explain a little bit more about how it works as it is a newer birth control option. Natural Cycles is the first and only FDA cleared birth control app. The app is powered by a smart algorithm that uses my body temp to confirm my daily fertility status - so it tells me each day if I can get pregnant that day or not. It’s able to tell me this because there are small but significant shifts in a woman’s body temp during her cycle, and the NC algorithm is able to identify these shifts to pinpoint where I am in my cycle. This is important because there are only 6 days every cycle that a woman can get pregnant. I know I wasn’t taught a lot about this and it’s been pretty mind blowing to not only learn about reproductive health in general but to feel the empowerment that comes with more knowledge. Birth control is such a personal decision and everyone has their own needs and wants. I’m happy I found a non-hormonal option that works for me. If you’re interested in learning more, you can go to Naturalcycles.com to find out if Natural Cycles is right for you. And if you use my code TINX or go to naturalcycles.com/tinx you’ll also get 20% off an annual subscription + a free thermometer. I use my @ouraring to measure (it syncs automatically to the NC° app) but the thermometer is another great option. p.s. NC is for 18+ and does not protect against STIs *ad
