Launched in August 2022, Oura’s integration with Natural Cycles, the first FDA-cleared birth control app, has been a game-changer for hundreds of thousands of women throughout their fertility journey. 

In commemoration of the two-year anniversary of this partnership, we’re taking a look back on two exciting years of empowering women to deepen their body literacy, understand their unique cycle, prevent pregnancy, and more.

Transforming Women’s Health, Together

As part of our broader commitment to women’s health, Oura’s goal is to meet women where they are on their health journey, whether their goal is to prevent pregnancy, plan for pregnancy, or learn more about their unique menstrual cycle. 

“When we first launched our partnership with Natural Cycles, we recognized the immense potential to revolutionize birth control and empower women to take control of their fertility,” says Dorothy Kilroy, Chief Commercial Officer and Head of Partnerships at Oura. 

“We are inspired by the rapid acceleration of this movement, with hundreds of thousands of women worldwide now using Oura Ring in conjunction with Natural Cycles. We believe that all women should be empowered to understand their bodies and cycles better, enabling them to prevent pregnancies naturally and with confidence.” 

Over the last two years, this partnership has achieved a number of exciting milestones:

Oura Member Stories 

From preventing pregnancy to knowing more about their individual cycles, we’ve heard incredible stories from Oura members over the last two years. What they all share in common is achieving more control over their reproductive health and deepening their overall body literacy. 

  • Because her doctor prescribed Natural Cycles as birth control, Trisha P. was able to get her NC subscription paid for by insurance.* She then used her FSA/HSA funds to purchase an Oura Ring. With an irregular cycle, she’s been able to track her cycle and symptoms on Natural Cycles. “This, combined with the Oura data points, helps me feel in control of my reproductive health,” she says. “It’s nice to have an informative resource to know what is going on in my body on a day-to-day basis.”
  • Nikki M. chose to use the integration as a natural birth control option after she decided to remove her IUD. “The transition from the IUD to Natural Cycles powered by Oura was super seamless, and the integration simplified the idea of a natural approach to birth control,” Nikki says. “It made it all seem less intimidating, driving a deeper understanding of my own body and cycle.”
  • Gabrielle B. turned to the integration to manage her reproductive health and prevent pregnancy. “I’ve used Natural Cycles since May 2017 on the birth control setting… [but] I struggled with consistently measuring my temperature trends in the morning,” Gabrielle told us. “The Oura integration was absolutely perfect. Since I set it up, I haven’t missed a single day of data.”
