Natural Cycles is the first NFP app to be reimbursable by health insurance. It tracks a woman's basal body temperature (BBT) and lets her use a morning BBT thermometer or wear the Oura Ring to bed to track average BBT throughout sleep. Recorded temperature automatically syncs to the app and informs women of fertile vs. non-fertile days.

With the Mira Hormone Monitor Kit, women can track 4 separate hormones (estradiol, LH, FSH, and progesterone metabolite [PdG]) to predict and confirm ovulation, track their 6-day fertile window, and see daily quantitative hormone levels. Hormone levels are obtained by dipping a testing strip into urine; results are charted and automatically sync to the Mira app.
