DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT A HEALTH PROFESSIONAL NOR DO I CLAIM TO BE ONE. PLEASE TALK TO YOUR HEALTH PROVIDER AND DO YOUR OWN DUE DILIGENCE. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU GET PREGNANT.
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!

DISCOUNTS BECAUSE NO ONE WANTS FULL PRICED ANYTHING:
➤For $40 an Oura Ring:
*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.naturalcyc...
➤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!

Thank you for sharing! I got off of the depo shot December. I haven’t gotten my period since February 2023… I’m really hoping the ring will allow me a better evaluation of my health. I wish they taught us women about our cycles

Welcome back! I am sending you all the positive period energy!!! Same, I wish they taught us more too ❤️❤️❤️

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!

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

Can someone help me! I bought my wife an ŌURA ring and it’s not pairing with the natural cycles app. We’ve tried everything and we just can’t

Aw thank you for taking the time to write something positive. I’m glad it was helpful!

With the Oura ring now eligible with HSA, I will most likely purchase. I just want to make sure my employer will reimburse the subscription (they do for my Peloton subscription). If they will, I'll purchase during their Black Friday sale.

I haven’t attempted to get it reimbursed yet! Let us know if it’s successful for you!

Im getting the natural cycles membership reimbursed by my insurance and it should be covered by all types of insurances as it’s part of the affordable care act. You just might need a prescription from your gyno.

@brontecarlow7337 Ай бұрын

i’m considering buying one but not sure if i should wait for apple to bring out their own version… its rumoured to be on the way but no dates yet. i’m getting off hormonal bc next week and so relieved to be making that step.

@violetsdigest Ай бұрын

I think Apple already has their own temperature app but I find the oura ring to have much more detailed stats and more insight than other health bands. And they’re always updating what data is available to us! As for the app, I’ve used other tracking ones and I’ve found NC to be my favorite.

@violetsdigest Ай бұрын

Congrats on the new chapter! I loved my decision to get off hormonal BC.

@fizzylemonleaf Ай бұрын

Is it still working for you as a birth control? I’m thinking of trying this instead of hormonal birth control and am curious about its effectiveness.

@violetsdigest Ай бұрын

Yes! I’m still using it as my form of BC and it’s pretty accurate! No issues yet despite “somewhat accidents” if you know what I mean….but a lot of it has to also do with discipline. They taught me a lot about how pregnancy actually happens, for example days you can actually get pregnant on, etc.!

@violetsdigest Ай бұрын

I’d say you have to be more careful the first few months while it gets a better accuracy of your body and after consistent data it gets even more exact!

How did you go about getting it covered by insurance?

@violetsdigest 3 ай бұрын

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.
