For those of you who choose to measure overnight with Oura Ring, you’ll know just what a game changer this partnership has been for our Cyclers! To celebrate, we’re passing the mic to our Cyclers to understand what they love most about this partnership. 

​1. Great for building a habit

Whether you’re partial to a lazy morning lie-in or are all too familiar with interrupted nights, measuring with Oura Ring can make your measuring experience smoother, reducing the number of excluded temperatures or days when you skip measuring altogether. Don’t just take our word for it, here’s what Cycler Miriam had to say: 

“With the Oura Ring it’s been so much easier and consistent. I love how easy it is, I don’t even have to think about it.” - Miriam

2. Making up for lost knowledge

One thing we hear time and time again from our community of Cyclers is just how much they didn’t know about their own bodies until they made the switch to Natural Cycles. For Cycler Hannah, this learning experience has only been enhanced by measuring with Oura Ring: 

“I use [Natural Cycles] along with my Oura Ring, and it has been a game changer. It has taught me so much about women’s health, and I have become so passionate about educating others about things we all should have been taught from a much earlier age.” - Hannah

3. Comes with peace of mind

You can’t underestimate the power of a great night’s sleep, and a peaceful mind is a well-rested one. Cycler Becky is grateful she can skip measuring orally in the morning, now that she’s switched to using NC° with Oura Ring:

“I’m obsessed with using Natural Cycles with Oura Ring! I love that I can just go to sleep and don’t have to measure manually when I wake up and make sure it’s around the same time. I have peace of mind.” - Becky

4. Loved by shift workers

We know our community of Cyclers are a hardworking and dedicated bunch, and that’s why it’s important that we provide a range of measuring options to suit all lifestyles. Take Alexandria, who found measuring overnight with Oura Ring particularly helpful while working nights: 

“I absolutely love my Oura Ring! I purchased it specifically for syncing it with Natural Cycles. I was using the thermometer but was also working night shift, so I had so much inconsistency..” - Alexandria

5. The only birth control for me

One study shows that women change birth control at least three times over the course of their fertile lifetimes. This can be due to many reasons, including side effects, the convenience of the method, or simply a change in reproductive needs. At Natural Cycles, we’re proud to offer a contraception that adapts to your needs, and that’s one more reason why our users love NC°. Our partnership with Oura makes non-hormonal birth control an option for women like Tara, who’s made the switch and is never looking back:

“I got my IUD removed about a year ago due to medical reasons and switched to natural cycles with the Oura Ring. I was a little hesitant about not using hormonal birth control, but I loved it since the day I started this journey and would never go back to any other form of birth control!” - Tara

What our founder has to say

We thought we’d leave the last word to our co-founder and the original Cycler, Dr. Elina Berglund Scherwtizl:

"Two years after launching the Natural Cycles + Oura integration, wearing an Oura Ring to effortlessly measure while sleeping remains one of the most loved features we’ve added to the NC° app. I love hearing from (and meeting!) the more than 200,000 Cyclers who take control of their fertility with Natural Cycles powered by Oura." - Elina
