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 or plan pregnancies naturally and with confidence.”
Over the last two years, this partnership has achieved a number of exciting milestones:
5 Stories from Oura Members
Just as every woman is on a different health journey, the reason why women choose to integrate Oura with Natural Cycles varies greatly.
From preventing pregnancy to conception to knowing more about their individual cycles, the incredible stories we’ve heard from Oura members in the last two years reflect that uniqueness and variety.
Yet what they all share in common is achieving more control over their reproductive health and deepening their overall body literacy.
To name just a few member stories:
- 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.”
- Natural Cycles powered by Oura helped Bridgette S. plan for her second pregnancy by allowing her to track her fertility. “This helped me get pregnant the second time after trying for only two months! I recently gave birth to a healthy baby boy,” she told us.
- After integrating Oura and Natural Cycles, Felicity V. ended up conceiving within a month of integrating the apps! “I was trying not to get my hopes up when I was two days late,” Felicity tells us. “Then the NC app told me I might want to take a pregnancy test. So I did, and it was positive! It was mind-blowing.”
- 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.”
